Is it possible to do back half of a lower body lift only? (Photos)

Question

I had a extended abdominoplasty with muscle repair (no lipo) about 6 weeks ago. I love my stomach but hate the side puddles i have (had bariatric surgery in 2021 and maintaining 100+ lbs down). Want to know if i can do just the back part of a circumferential TT or LBL?

Congratulations on your impressive weight loss and on your tummy tuck!  Yes, it is possible to return to address the back side of your body once you have healed from your tummy tuck.  From your photos it appears you are healing well.

Thomas Trevisani, MD · Answer

In person exam is essential, including evaluation while patient is standing up. Very often, we perform cicumferencial abdominoplasty / buttock lift after massive weight loss. I suggest that you consult with your Operating Surgeon re/ additional areas you'd like to treat.

You was candidate for Lower Body Lift 360 since the very beginning. So now the front part is done you will need to complete the LBL starting from lateral body lift and Buttocks lift, I see also bulging above the groin area and below incision, so you will need to lower the incision a bit and also remove and tighten the bulging. 
Be encouraged!! You will look awesome and rejuvenated. 
Be sure your PS is an expert in After weight loss surgery

Yes, it is very easy to complete the back part of a lower body lift after your extended abdominal plasty. The pattern would be drawn so that the scars meet up at your present scars on your sides. This would help remove the posterior area that you were unhappy with, as well as raise your buttocks and refine the shape of your waist.  Best wishes.

Dear lovemylife87,
you are still in the early postoperative period so it is too early to think about additional procedures. You should wait at least 6 months to see the final results. I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.
