Will body lift (flanks) help with loose lats skin? (Photo)

makebeatsmark
Hey doctors, I had abdominoplasty done to remove excess skin in lower abdomen after 205lb weight loss. I'm still finding it very difficult to get rid of flank fat/skin and was told by my doctor that I would need a body lift. I'm not sure if this would also fix the excess skin I have in my lats that I'm shown pinching in the picture. I would love your help finding the best solution to get rid of my flanks along with helping the loose skin in my lats. Thank you!
