Hello! I have recently lost a lot of weight and undergone a breast lift. I’ve been advised to wear a bra as much as possible to help minimise tissue stretching from gravity, to delay sagging over time. I am also looking to get a body lift. I really want to maintain my results as long as possible after my surgeries. Of course, my main focus after my skin has been tightened is to maintain the weight. But I would like to know what else I can do to maintain the tighter skin as long as possible for the rest of my body too? Will wearing compression garments/supportive shapewear for the rest of my body help to support the tissue and skin and subsequently delay age-related sagging in the same way that a bra supports the breasts? Thank you in advance for your help!

Thank you for your photos. Congratulations on your weight loss and excellent exercise regiment to keep you in shape and at a stable weight. Your BMI is 24.6. Losing an additional 7 pounds will not appreciably change you. If you are considering surgery to contour your body after your weight...
A body lift is a great start for the biggest improvement with one procedure IMHO. Chest surgery and back surgery may be desired as well. 2to 4 procedures over 2 years is a fair estimate to get it all done and heal well! Good Luck!
