Plastic Surgery After Weight Loss. I'm 40 Years Old, 5'5?

Will I be able to achieve a smooth flat stomach after a large weight loss w/plastic surgery? Will I need the Brava suction thing if my skin is already loose? if i want fat grafting to my breasts and/or butt, when should I have it done in my weightloss? Should I wait until I am within 10lbs of my goal weight? I was thinking of 125lbs as a goal weight but at 135 I may have that extra weight in loose skin. Suggestions? What is the lifespan of implants and what will happen when that lifespan is over?
