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 have spoken to 2 surgeons so far and been recommended a bra line back lift and a belt lipectomy and i'm not sure which would be best in my case and feel quite lost. I would greatly appreciate any feedback for my case.

Answer: Back lift or belt lipectomy Hello and thank you for your question. Congratulations on your weight loss! In regards to your abdomen I would recommend a fleur de lis abdominoplasty to achieve the best contour. For the areas on your upper flank, I would recommend a flankplasty for this area, as a lower body lift would not address the areas of the bra line. You should seek a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to address your concerns

Answer: Understanding the saggy tissues After Weight Loss It is wonderful what you have achieved after weight loss!!!You have a beautiful body frame, so I can only predict you having an awesome result on the correct hands: a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who is an expert in the AWLsurgery After losing all that amount of weight you have developed saggy skin on all areas of your body, and all have differences on which anatomical area are attached and which direction should be lifted or pulled. So vectors of pulling or lifting should never be opposed one to the other. So talking as an expert on AWLS and about your trunk area: it is very important to remove excess, it is extremely important to lift and also to create more feminine body shape. I am a believer that square shapes are not ok. Based on your photos, you have developed significant saggy skin on your abdomen (length and width), most likely saggy pubic area, saggy lovehandles and saggy and deflated buttocks. PLAN:you will be a great candidate for the FIRST STAGE: Lower Body Lift with Fleur de Lis because of the excess on length and width, and will include muscle repair to create a smaller waist and flatter abdomen, pubic lift and reduction if needed, front abs outer thigh lift ( not much improvement on inner thighs), real buttocks lift and I totally believe that adding some volume and shape will create the greatest outcome, so I will recommend Liposuccion to lovehandles and waist and use that precious fat to transfer to buttocks and a bit to hips. The saggy skin on your back will not improve with a Lower Body Lift because of the skin attachments, so the Next stage will be the upper body lift: Back Lift (brassiere line), arm lift, breast lift. Hopefully I was clear enough Be encouraged!!Dr. Cardenas
