After a large weight loss I have a lot of remaining skin. I exercise regularly, eat properly, and have maintained my 160 pound loss for over 3 years. But the body is a mess. I am getting conflicting advice on whether an extended tummy tuck (with potential for butt lift later on if desired) or a 360 body lift would be required. What could be done for these thunder thighs, especially in the back?
Answer: Multiple surgeries; tummy first Hi. I think an extended tummy tuck would be a good first step. I do the lower body lift portion separately - data shows combining the two operations at the same time has a much higher chance for transfusions, complications and hospitalization. It's not uncommon for my weight loss patients to have several operations - breast, tummy, arms, thighs can all be treated, just not at the same time.

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

Answer: Body contouring 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
