Which is the Best Course of Action to for Upper/lower Abdomen Fat Removal, Flanks, Back, Bra Line with Possible BBL?

I am confused about which procedure to consider. I want my upper/lower abdomen fat removed, flanks, back and bra line with possible BBL. Should I do a lower body lift or tummy tuck with lipo? I am 5'9", 220# and losing. Majority of fat is in my mid section. The upper abdomen sticks out further than my lower half, causing me to look pregnant. (Already had 2 kids) l want the surgery in July but I also want to be cost effective. Can all of these be done in 6 hrs or less? Any incite would be great!

In general, the results of the abdomen are less than optimal without aggressive liposuction of the tummy, and this cannot be performed at the same time with tummy tuck... more

Upper/lower Abdomen Fat Removal, Flanks, Back, Bra Line with Possible BBL?

You would be far likelier to receive useful recommendations if you were to include some photos. I am glad to hear that you are losing weight and planning to continue. I will guess that you will need at least a full tummy tuck and liposuction to other affected areas. The risks are quite magnified when the BMI is over 30. Yours is now just over 32. The closer you can get to your ideal weight, the safer the procedure, and the better the outcome. You comment, for example,... more
