360 Lower Body Lift or Extended Tummy Tuck? (photos)

Thank you for your question.
Congratulations on your weight loss. Your a good candidate for a 360 body lift. A 360 degree body lift, if performed in one operation, has a high, serious complication rate. I like to divide this into two shorter and well pollarated procedures. I would first perform a tummy tuck and then a flank lift. The Tummy Tuck I invented gives a natural looking tummy and belly button, a relatively flat tummy, significantly LESS PAIN and FASTER RECOVERY versus traditional techniques. The patients typically wake up from surgery in no pain. They walk to the recovery room. It is not uncommon for patients to take only Tylenol for pain after surgery. The oldest patient I performed this type of tummy tuck on is 80 years old, and she only took Tylenol for pain. It is not uncommon for patients to be driving 7 days after surgery. I did have a 64 year old woman who drove 4 days after surgery. Six weeks later you can have a Flank Lift. Believe it or not recovery is quicker than a tummy tuck. For more information please watch the enclosed video. I hope you find this information useful.

Congratulations on your weight loss, and maintaining your present weight for 3 years. The most effective procedure for you would be a 360 degree belt dermatolipectomy. This would circumferentially remove excess fat and skin that needs to be removed for your best result. An extended TT would work, but not as well.The thigh problem will need to be addressed at a later date. They cannot be done at the same time.Thank you for your photos and your interesting question. Best of luck to you.

Hello and thank you for your question. Congratulations on your weight loss.  Based on your pictures, I would recommend a full circumferential lower body lift.  This will improve your abdomen and lower back and potentially your buttocks.  The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are
comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified
board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.
