Lipo 360 or tummy tuck - which procedure would be best for me? (photos)

Question

I had VGS surgery in 2017. My skin has been loose and flabby ever sincethe procedure. I cant wear swimsuits because I am so self conscious about it. Im currently 5'5 153 lbs. I probably didnt lose enough to begin with but it is what it is. My lowest was 145 after surgery. I waa 220 when i had the sleeve surgery. I will be 47 in a few months. Which pathway would be my best option. Lipo360 + skin tightening or a tummy tuck. Images included.

If you are not planning future pregnancies, I recommend abdominoplasty with mesh reinforcement.  The mesh creates a more hourglass figure by compressing the abdominal wall resulting in early satiety and helps maintain a reduced weight.

Hello, my name is Dr Igor Burko, and I am a Plastic Surgeon at SY Aesthetics in NYC. 
Based on the photos, you appear to have excess skin, likely due to weight loss. The best way to address your skin excess is with a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty).

Based on your posted photos, best option would be a combination of a full tummy tuck with muscle repair and J plasma with liposuction. Fee $8000-$20,000. Best of virtual consult with.
