I would like to get the right surgery; I need a tummy tuck & lifting of thighs & butt; right side of thigh look awful I have lumps of extra fat there. I already have a scar from hip surgery on left side & am weary of having a LBL scar all around. I feel perhaps an extended tummy tuck would be better for lifting of these areas with some conservative lipo & perhaps fat transfer to buttocks. Lifting my own skin manually shows improvement, I'm hoping the right procedure can perform some miracle.

Answer: Body Lift Body lift is a great procedure to smooth out excess skin and wrinkles, lift the buttocks and thighs. It's one of my favorite procedures as the results are great. Your body is perfect for a lift. The scar should be placed very low so that it's imperceptible when wearing underwear. Good Luck!!

Answer: Will a Body lift, Extended Tummy Tuck & side Thigh Lift help with cellulite & sagging of skin on my upper thighs & buttocks? It is hard to say with 100% certainty if you are a good candidate for a body lift procedure using photographs alone. However, it does SEEM like you would be a reasonable candidate. A body lift is similar to a tummy tuck but the incision goes 360 degrees around to both tighten the tummy and also to lift/auto-augment the buttocks. This procedure will help somewhat with the contour problems/cellulite on the lateral thighs but will not help with the inner thighs at all. It may improve the posterior thighs slightly, but a significant change is not likely. An alternative would in fact be an extended tummy tuck/lateral thigh lift and fat transfer to the buttocks could be considered to lift and improve the volume but it takes quite a bit of fat to do this--upwards of a liter in some patients! Any residual cellulite could potentially be improved with a separate operation such as Cellulaze or Vasersmooth. I would recommend having an evaluation with a board certified/eligible plastic surgeon with experience in body contouring surgery. I personally would suggest breaking this up into 2 surgeries for safety sake.
