Will an extended tummy tuck be the right procedure for me or will I need a body and back lift? (photos)

July 14, 2024
Asked By:Zee01

I had gastric sleeve surgery May of 2023, lost close to 95 lbs. I'm worried about needing a back lift, as I would prefer not to have the scar. My question is can I get away with just lipo and an extended tummy tuck? Or can I get away with a lower body lift?? I'm trying to avoid having a back lift unless it is absolutely necessary!! Thank you
