Body lift about 4 years ago. I now have a FUPA and loose skin. Is this because I didn't have them cut above?

June 23, 2022

I had a body lift done about 4 years ago. I had lost 132 pounds and had a "double roll". Before the body lift, I was asked if i wanted them to cut vertically below my breasts to get rid of the skin there.I chose not because it sounded like they would be able to get rid of it with just the cut from the bikini line. I now have a "FUPA" and very loose skin on back/sides. Is this because i didnt have them cut above? Its disheartening
