I am a 34-year-old female who is very active, I go to the gym daily for two hours at a time. I gained 85 pounds when I was pregnant with my son (3yrs ago) and have since lost all of that weight however, my body is now a mess. My stomach is loose and saggy, I have cellulite in my buttocks and thighs & would like a butt lift. Do I need multiple procedures? Ex: Bbl, lipo, tummy tuck? My goal is to feel comfortable in my body again, and love what I see when I look in the mirror.
Answer: Body contouring/restoration after massive weight loss First, congratulations on the weight loss and keeping up the hard work in the gym. Unfortunately, working out does not effect loose stretched skin. That skin needs to be cut out with procedures such as a tummy tuck. Because you are so active and lean, BBL is not an option and will fail if tried, period. Beware, if a surgeon asks you to purposely gain weight (i.e. fat) before BBL, know that the fat you lose first as you get back to your baseline weight after surgery is that very same fat that was transferred into your buttock, hence your new buttock shrinks first, the fastest, and the most...so please do not fall victim to this recommendation. Even those patients that had adequate amounts of fat pre-operatively, still end up seeking buttock implants after a year or so because most of the fat transferred melted away leaving them with minimal result. Fillers such as Sculptra are cost prohibitive, provided enough volume is injected (i.e. at least 400 cc of active ingredient costing over $300,000) and last only 12 - 18 months. So, if you're looking for a reliable, predictable, and long-term permanent option that also provides fullness and projection buttock, buttock implants are your best solution. Please note that an extremely few number of board certified plastic surgeons specialize in buttock or hip implants, so you may need to travel far and away from home to find this particular surgeon. Glad to help.

Answer: Butt lift, lipo, tummy tuck? Which is best fro me? Excellent question. You obviously have excess loose skin. Mostly on the lower half of the abdomen, but also abound your navel. Because your navel is high, the TT scar may not be as low as I would like…. still low enough though. It will be bellow any c-section scar for sure!

Answer: Multiple procedures Congratulations on losing the pregnancy weight. Unfortunately, you are only a candidate for an abdominoplasty to remove the excess abdominal skin. Liposuction of your sides with a BBL will improve your buttocks, I’m just not sure how much fat you have. Very active patients (“gym rats”) tend to burn off fat post op.
