Hi, I had a few consultations for a mommy makeover. One doctor out of the three recommends a lower-body lift, his co-ordinator mentioned it was due to the rolls on my back and to prevent dog ears. From what I understand an LBL is geared towards weight loss patients. Basically, is the LBL the right direction? Thank you

Answer: Extended tummy tuck vs lower body lift Dear Imaginative982259, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Considering options The lower body lift, or circumferential tummy tuck is designed to address excess skin on the front as well as the back. An in person evaluation is best, but from the posted photos it doesn't appear you have significant skin laxity in the back. You should be fine with an extended tummy tuck with liposuction for added contouring. I've included a video I hope you find helpful.
