5'11, 225lbs, tummy tuck, lipo 360 & fat transfer to breasts - will I have a nice shape & waistline? (Photos)

Thank you for your question regarding whether you will have a nice shape after a tummy tuck, lipo 360, and fat transfer to the breasts. I think your shape will significantly improve after these procedures. The tummy tuck with muslce plication will help you achieve more hourglass figure. I think the cherry on top would be to later get a vertical torsoplasty with an incision from your armpit, down your sides, and ending over your hips. This will snatch any excess skin over the love handles, flanks, and some excess skin from the back (which you may have after liposuction). Even without the vertical torsoplasty, I think you'll be extremely happy with your results from the tummy tuck, lipo 360, and fat transfer to breasts.

I hope this answer helps you feel confident about your chosen procedure!
If you have any more questions regarding a mommy makeover, tummy tuck, lower body lift, 360 circumferential lower body lift, belt lipectomy, belt abdominoplasty, or belt dermolipectomy please contact my office. Since a mommy makeover is a big procedure, please seek an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon with significant experience performing the lower body lift. Do your research. Make sure they have performed at least 100 mommy makeover surgeries and have the before and after pictures to prove it. Carefully examine their before and after pictures and check their reviews on RealSelf. If you cannot find an experienced, tummy tuck or lower body lift surgeon in your neighborhood, consider traveling out of state if you must.

You will have an improved waistline from a tummy tuck with liposuction. This will address muscle wall laxity, subcutaneous fat and excess skin. It does not address visceral fat (internal fat behind the abdominal muscle wall) A discussion with your surgeon is best to determine the best approach to your breast concerns. I encourage you to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you for a consultation to learn more.

You will be improved with a tummy tuck and liposuction, but still need to try and lose weight and get below 180 pounds for a better result.
