My main concern were always my boobs. I’ve heard terms from tubular breat -snoopy boobs. As I grew, I gained weight reaching max 330. Now at 27, no kids between 197-185(if I’m active). I’m unsure how serious I am about skin removal, I still have some way to go. My goal is to seriously strength train to sculpt and lose more fat with proper nutrition. However, knowing I NEED a lift, idk if it’ll look right if I don’t remove and tighten everything else. Opinions and suggestions please!
Answer: Skin Tightening Thank you for your question and congratulations on the weight loss. With any elective procedure post-weight loss, it is important to be at your goal weight for at least six months prior to the procedure. This ensures that you get the best possible aesthetic. If you were to lose additional weight after your procedure, you may notice excess skin they may require an additional procedure to revise. Based on the photos you provided, I would do the skin removal in at least two separate procedures starting with a panniculectomy and a breast reduction which are sometimes covered by insurance. You can also have the excess axillary tissue removed during this procedure. After this, you can focus on the back and arms. I recommend speaking with your plastic surgeon to discuss your concerns and goals.

Answer: Body/arm/back/breast EVERYTHING lift - do I need to remove and tighten skin as well? Congratulations on your weight loss! Based on your photos you appear to be a good candidate for staged body lift/ contouring procedures. You can start with circumferential Breast lift (w/possible Augmentation), upper back lift, Circumferential tummy tuck/ Buttock lift -as stage 1, and then during the next stage address your arms and thighs. These are very lengthy and big surgical procedures that need to be performed by an experienced Board Certified PS. Good luck!

Answer: Lift, arms and body lift I would begin with your breasts using The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. At the same time, you can undergo a brachioplasty (arm lift). The safe operation time is 6 hours. After these have been completed, you can consider circumferential lift, both anteriorly and posteriorly. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Recommendations I would set a goal weight and once you. have reached this, see a plastic surgeon to discuss body contouring. I would recommend a lower body lift first and then upper body lift followed by a thigh lift last. I would highly recommend seeing a board eligible or board certified plastic surgeon for a physical exam and accurate analysis with safe recommendations for potential surgical options. Best of luck!
