Hi! Looking to see what the best procedure would be. I have lost about 100 lbs and have a TON of extra skin. My main concern is my stomach and that roll on my bum. I do like my waist and my hips, though. I don't want my ab muscles to be worked on, but that may change. I workout everyday and I power lift 3x a week so I'm not sure work on my muscles will be necessary. I am also looking @ my back and wondering if a Fleur de lis will help smoothen it out? Thanks in advance for your help :)

Answer: Lower body lift You already have a beautiful body shape and a great body foundation, so your result must be astonishing.You have developed saggy skin on abdomen, a bit on sides, lovehandles and definitely your buttocks have become flaccid. The Pure Tummy Tuck will not be enough to enhance, because that means only skin resection.You will be a great candidate for the LBL to do skin removal, skin tightening but also Lifting of pubic, sides. lovehandles and Buttocks. I would also add liposuction to waist and lovehandles to sculpt the area and harvest fat to transfer to buttocks. I will do recommend a Muscle repair because your abdomen is protruding because your muscle is loose and at the same time will help to create a smaller waist.Be encouraged.Dr/ Cardenas

Answer: Abdominal contouring Hello and thank you for your question. Congratulations on your weight loss. Based on your photograph, you are a candidate for all three procedures. One good option could a tummy tuck with liposuction and back liposuction. This can be done through a low incision, all completely below the bikini line. The belly button can be designed to look natural and have no scars on the exterior. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon
