Circumferential tummy tuck? Standard? Extended? Fleur de lis? (photos)

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs and congratulations on your impressive weight loss.  Depending on your goals, it appears that an extended tummy tuck with liposuction of your back, waist, and flanks would provide you with a nice improvement in your overall body silhoutte.  Hope this helps.

Congratulations on your weight loss, that an impressive achievement. It looks like you'd have a very nice result with an extended tummy tuck with liposuction and lipo shaping of your flank areas and the area above your buttocks. I dont think you need a fleur de lis. I never want to add any additional scars for my patients unless they're truly necessary. As far as the tissue lateral to your breasts, its difficult to determine based on the photos but the options to treat that area is either liposuction alone or an upper body lift. 
Best wishes,

You do not need a fleur de lis.  You would benefit from a standard or extended tummy tuck.  The technique I recommend is abdominoplasty with mesh reinforcement, if you are not planning future pregnancies.  The mesh creates a more hourglass figure by compressing the abdominal wall resulting in early satiety and helps maintain a reduced weight.  After this, you can consider whether you want liposuction or perhaps a circumferential extension if you are dissatisfied with the lateral and posterior aspect of your body.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Dear RemakingAlex,based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a TT. Full tummy tuck should tighten your abdominal muscles and remove the excess skin. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD

RemakingAlex HI There , Thank you for your Question Many surgeons, including myself, offer online virtual consultations where you send us your photos and we can estimate the cost. I, like many surgeons, also offer free consultations so that you can be examined and given the most accurate quoteHave you considered a BBL Brazilian Butt Lift , I think you might want to considered you will get a lipo with fat transfer to your buttocks and if you see that your skin is to loose than and only than you can considered for a tummy tuck . I will leave here a video where I Explain . 

Dear RemakingAlex,Thanks for your excellent question and for providing photos. Also, congrats on your amazing weight loss. You seem to primarily have skin laxity in the abdominal area which would best be addressed with an extended tummy tuck. If you had significant laxity in the hip and buttocks then doing the circumferential Lift would make a dramatic improvement l. The contour of your waist and bra rolls will be dramatically improved with liposuction. I would not recommend a fleur de lis because it is unnecessary and will add a very visible vertical scar. This next phase in your transformation is exciting and the best reward for all of your hard work. Good luck. 

Depending on the PS, you will get different opinions. I would perform the standard TT with muscle plication +/- liposuction of the flanks. You will continue to lose weight after the TT.  Give  yourself  9-12 months to see your result and then decide if a posterior belt lipectomy with liposuction of the back would be appropriate. Doing  it this way may afford the PS a better opportunity to adjust/improve upon your TT.

Hello and thank you for your question and your pictures.
First of all congratulations on losing the weight. 100 lbs is not a small number and your body looks great after that weight loss.
Although an examination in person would provide much more needed information your pictures show that you are a good candidate for a tummy tuck and liposuction to help sculpt your body into the shape you desire to gain. At the very least, you would do well with an extended tummy tuck and I believe that a circumferential tummy tuck will give you superior results.
A Fleur-de-Lis tummy tuck would place a vertical scar on your belly that I do not believe is worth it in your case. Based on your photos, it looks like you can achieve excellent results without the Fleur-de-Lis tummy tuck.
The different types of tummy tucks are quoted differently and will usually be higher in price as the level of difficulty increases.
Your pictures show that you have some droopiness and flattening of your buttocks. Extending the incision to the back may help lift the buttocks and give you a more pleasing contour to compliment the hour-glass shape you seek. Depending on what look exactly you desire, you may want to consider some fat grafting to the buttocks. 
To address the excess tissues in your side boob and mid back, you would need an additional type of surgery. This may include a combination of liposuction with skin and soft tissue excision.
All these topics should be discussed with your plastic surgeon during your consultation. 
Be sure to seek a consultation with a board-eligible or board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in aesthetic plastic surgery and be sure they address all your concerns about liposuction, tummy tuck, excess "side boob", including the risks and benefits of the procedures, recovery time and postoperative course. You should clearly express your goals and desires so that your plastic surgeon can understand them and develop an adequate surgical plan to achieve them.
I believe a key component of the consultation is to establish a good connection with your plastic surgeon. If you don’t feel you have a good connection after your consultation then they may not be the best surgeon for you.
Good luck!

Congratulations on your weight loss!  An extended tummy tuck with liposuction I think would give you a nice result, but the fleur de lis approach would be able to address more loose skin.  Your best advice will come after an examination and discussion of your surgical goals with a board certified plastic surgeon near you.  Good luck!

Hello dear, thank you for your question and pictures.
After evaluating your photos you seem to be a good candidate for a conventional tummy tuck, because all your skin laxity is in the middle of the abdomen not in the flanks or back, this can be combined with a 360 liposuction this means flanks, entire back and abdomen and if you want a BBL also. With this procedures we can give your body a great shape achieving awesome results. Make sure to approach to a certified surgeon to help you clear all your doubts.
Best wishes!
