How can I look proportionate and have a smooth stomach? (Photos)

Question

So I got my first BA when I was 24. Now I am 44. My body has always been very straight up and down, no curves no hips no butt even no waist line. I got smart Lipo about 15 years ago, and because of the garment it made my stomach lumpy and bumpy. Went from saline to silicone implants, then replaced again with a lift due to leakage. Almost 2 years ago, I went in for a BBL. I thought this would help smooth my stomach out, taking fat from there and putting it in my butt. Neither worked. My butt looked great for the first month, then suddenly went away. Now I see my body looking like the letter P. How can I fix this?!? Is it possible? I have never had kids, but with my stomach being so lumpy, bumpy, and saggy, or a tummy tuck help? A body lift? It is very hard to wear clothes with my waist being the same size as my hips and my butt. My back literally just goes straight into my butt, no curvature or arch. I just feel like every procedure I’ve had, I have not gotten ideal results. And yes, it all has all been by the same Doctor, only thinking he could fix what he did. I just want to look proportionate, and have a nice smooth stomach. I am desperate for any advice! I just don’t want to keep making the same mistakes! Any help or suggestions are much MUCH appreciated!!!!

Thank you for sharing your concerns.
From what you’ve described, a tummy tuck combined with liposuction and J-Plasma skin tightening would likely be more effective than liposuction alone for smoothing your abdomen and creating a defined waist, as it addresses both excess skin and irregularity. For your buttocks, a revision BBL could restore volume if donor fat and technique allow, but it’s important to correct the abdominal contour first.
I hope this helps.

Thank you for your pictures and story. Sorry you have had so many issues. Based on your photographs, I believe that an abdominoplasty is your best option for improvement. In the front view photo, you have significant skin laxity and bunching of skin in your upper abdomen. I suspect you also have scarring in the subcutaneous tissue from your previous liposuction contributing to how you look. There are two options-a traditional tummy tuck with a lower abdominal incision lifting the skin up to your ribcage, releasing the scar tissue and pulling the skin downwards. This may be able to be done with an umbilical float procedure pulling your belly button lower. Alternatively, you may be a candidate for a reverse abdominoplasty with the incisions in your breast folds where your mastopexy scars are located and lifting the skin upwards. It will take an in person consultation to determine which would be best for you.
