Thank you for your question, it is best to be evaluated in person to determine if this is capsular contracture or another issue going on. Typically capsular contracture does not present with rapid and quick onset in a short period of time but it is important to be evaluated in person to determine the cause. Implants can also flip at times and if they are higher profile and can appear "flatter" than previously if this is what happened. If that is the case this can be flipped back into position typically without surgery.

Hello, this is an excellent question and congratulations on your weight loss. Most commonly we perform a thigh lift for loose skin around the thighs as well as a circumferential body lift which will help with the abdomen contour and the posterior body or buttock lift to help address and deflation and sagging to the buttock area. These commonly can be performed at the same time as well. As long as you at at your goal weight and your weight has been stable for several months you do not necessarily need to lose any additional weight. As always it is best to schedule a consultation in person in order to do an exam and determine which procedures are best to achieve the goals you are looking for, good luck!

Hello, this is a great question, they are very different procedures and can accomplish different things. A lot of this decision depends on you and your goals and where your skin laxity is. The circumferential tummy tuck can help with the posterior or back of the buttock, waist and hips as well as the abdomen but if there is loose skin on the upper part of the abdomen this is usually better addressed with a fleur de lis. It is best to have an in person consultation with your plastic surgery to do an exam and determine the best plan for you, good luck!

Hello this is a great questions, based on the pictures you have provided and what your ultimate goals are for after surgery a tummy tuck seems very reasonable to do to There are also many options between full abdominoplasty, miniabdominoplasty and hybrid type procedures that can be discussed. It is best to see a plastic surgeon in person to do an exam and determine between what the best plan between you and your surgeon are to meet your desired outcome.

ANSWER
This is a great question and your concerns are valid. There are several options to address these concerns. Fat grafting can be a good option to address the contour irregularities and fill in the deficits which may take more than one surgery to completely correct as only a certain amount of fat survives each time. It also wont address any loos skin. A Brachioplasty will better address any loose skin as well as the skin changes you are seeing but there is a larger scar, however, there are things that can be done to minimize scarring and improve scar quality. It is best to have an in person consult with a plastic surgeon in order to best determine the right plan for you and your goals.
