Am I At The Right Weight For a Full TT, Breast Lift, and Medial Thigh Lift? (photo)

I am 50 years old, lost 80 pounds over several years through low-carb, and have been 15 pounds shy of "normal" BMI for over 6 months now (155 pounds at 5'3"). Looking at my pics, though, I sure don't feel like I'm anywhere close to normal and wonder if this is "close enough" for good results. I'm looking for less abdomen, less saggy inner thighs, and "shorter" breasts (not bigger, no implants). Is my wish list of procedures appropriate for me at this time or is more weight loss necessary?
A: Do not do tummy tuck and thigh lift together. There are increased risks.

Hi.

Your weight looks fine for surgery, but I would recommend doing the thigh lift as a second separate procedure.  Otherwise, there is a higher risk of a blood clot, which can be very serious.  Just do the tummy tuck and the breast lift together.

Seromas to Upper Buttocks After Lower Body Lift Persist After 3-1/2 Months

I had a lower body lift on 9/16. Drains in 6 wks that were putting out 90cc when they were pulled. I now have seromas in the upper part of my buttocks bilaterally. Isn't this an unusual place to have them? Aspirated them 3 times over 2 wks; in compression garments 24/7, but they keep refilling. Plan is to reinsert drains and if that fails he will inject a sclerosing agent into them. The fluid seems to swoosh around to my front when pressed--might there be more pockets we are missing? Any ideas?
A: Seromas

Seromas can happen and treatment is exactly as you mentioned.  The doctor will aspirate them and may need to use sclerosing agents or perform more surgery to remove the inflammatory capsule that may have developed.  Good luck

I had a abdominal lipectomy to remove the excess skin and reposition my belly button. Im wondering is it normal to still have swelling after being 6 weeks post opt and still be a little tender around the belly button area?

Swelling is very common after surgery ansd can last several months. It can also get worse with exercise.  This is normal.
