50, lost 43lbs, loose skin after butt lift & thighplasty 6 months ago (not BBL), what now? (Photos)

Allow me to answer your question as best i can based upon your photos. However, please keep in mind that an in-person, or at least a virtual, consultation with physical exam is first necessary before any legitimate evaluation or final surgical recommendations can be made.

Buttock “sagging” is usually a combination of loss of volume or deflation (after weight loss, liposuction, or post-BBL) and/or the effect of aging and gravity. So, I personally first treat patients like you by restoring volume to the buttock with a buttock implant. This will create a more desirable smooth and rounded perky buttock profile. If not adding volume with an implant, the buttock will be shortened but may appear more flat and have residual laxity with just a buttock lift. A lower buttock tuck is usually then performed at six months following implants. In this sequence, the implants have fully settled into final position so that any remaining loose skin can be most accurately identified and removed with the lower buttock tuck. Please note, because an extremely few number of board certified plastic surgeons specialize in buttock implants, you may have to travel away from your local area to seek consultation with this particular type of surgeon. Glad to help.

Unfortunately there is not too much that can be done for loose skin. You had the excess skin removed but the remainder of the skin is lax from your weight loss and your genes and there is no procedure, despite a lot of advertising, that can tighten loose skin.

Hello! thanks for your question. If not butt implant or BBL. Given the circumstances, the most reasonable thing is that you try to regain the weight to where you were happy, and once you regain your ideal weight then maintain it with exercises aimed at increasing muscle mass. Loose skin is normal after losing a lot of weight, your previous surgery apparently was much anticipated. Good Luck
