How much skin can be tightened during lower body lift?
I am 50 years old, 5'4" and 120 lbs. While pregnant, I gained 40 lbs. twice. I have saggy unsightly skin, cottage cheese and piles forming in my thighs and buttocks, making me very self-conscious.
How many inches can a surgeon pull up on the butt to get tightening results of lower body lift on top of thighs? Will the scar be wider the more that is taken out? I had abdominal skin excision with pencil thin scar, can I expect the same scar results? Thanks!

A: Lower body lift
Because all you have is extra skin and no fat, you are an ideal candidate for a LBL. The farther from the scar you go, the less will be the effect and the tighter you make the scar, the wider it will spread. Nevertheless, properly done you should have a very nice result.
