I would like to get my procedure in July/Aug. in the U.S.. At first I wanted a MMO. Through virtual consult I was advised to do the procedures separately due to extent. One PS suggested a Fleur De Lis but I don't want the vertical scar. Another PS suggested a 360 for the skin on my back. I'm open to either 360 or extended, preferably drainless. Are drainless TT more costly? Would 360 be better over an extended to avoid dog ears? Do I need a Fleur De Lis? Is a reconstructive PS best?

Answer: Extended procedures Drainless tummy tucks may or may not be more costly based on whether or not the surgeon uses tissue glue or not. A 360 procedure would definitely be needed to address the extra skin on your lower back. It is even likely that if you want your upper back excess skin addressed you would need to remove skin there and add scar separately there as well. In the end, scars are the trade off for traumatic skin tighteningBest of luck! Dr. SubbioBoard-Certified Plastic SurgeonNewtown Square/Philadelphia, PA

Answer: Body Contouring after Weight Loss You are best served with a circumferential approach to skin resection. Liposuction alone will not help. To address the back rolls, you may also need a back lift which is essentially a body lift within the bra line. There are no shortcuts in your case. Best wishes.
