I am in the process of finding a surgeon as i've lost 50kgs and am ready for the next part of my journey. I've been advised I may need a extended tummy tuck, breast lift, arm lift and side lift... but am not sure what I would need when it comes to the excess skin on my back.

I would greatly appreciate any feedback for my case.
