Lipo or TT
Congratulations on your weight loss. The answer about which procedure to do really depends on your skin elasticity - which is hard to tell from the small photos. If the elasticity is good, then lipo would be the first step. If the skin elasticity is "iffy", you might be better off with some form of skin resection, like a mini tummy tuck or a standard tt.

Liposuction Everything First then Tummy Tuck Later
I would liposuction all of the areas of interest first. Then I would reassess the skin envelope in 6 months. I anticipate that you would benefit from a tummy tuck at that time. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Liposuction is likely going to be helpful to you, but your skin tone needs to be evaluated to see if it will tighten properly over the removed fat or if the skin itself needs to...

Liposuction of the chest, full abdomen and flanks makes a big improvement.
Liposuction should make a great improvement in the full abdomen, flanks and chest and can be done a 1 procedure for roughly $6000 on special under local tumescent anesthesia with you getting back to work in only 2 days and exercising in 1 week. Sincerely,

Liposuction Or Tummy Tuck After Weight Loss
Congratulations on your weight loss and for keeping the weight off for several years. The answer to your question of which procedure or combination of procedures will help you achieve your body contouring goals, depends on the elasticity and redundancy of your skin. As was previously mentioned, photographs do not appropriately demonstrate the elasticity or quality of your skin, but they demonstrate that there is not a tremendous redundancy. Given this limited...

Body contour surgery after weight loss
You may very well be a good candidate for liposuction, but if the skin is very loose, you may need more than that. Hard to say without an exam.
