Dear Rational397940, Thank you for sharing your question. After analyzing your case I can say you're a good candidate for 360 lipo + Tummy Tuck with muscle repair + BBL. I'm sure those procedures will give you an amazing result! Make sure you go on consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Hope this helps and best of lucks. Dr. Luis Mejia.

From your photos it does appear you are a candidate for a lower body lift to address excess fat and loose skin.  I encourage you to speak with a board certified plastic surgeon about your goals for surgery and to learn more about recommended procedures. I've included a video that I hope you find helpful.

Thank you for your question regarding if you're a good candidate for a "full-body lift". Yes, I believe you are a candidate for a full-body lift. However, let's explore exactly what you mean. You have excess skin and fat of the abdomen, pubic region, hips, love handles, and upper buttocks. You also have laxity of the breast tissue (ptosis) and excess skin and fat of the arms. You have some excess fat on your upper back. What I propose is a tummy tuck or abdominoplasty, pubic lift, rectus muscle plication, elimination of flanks and love handles, lift and reduction of the excess skin of the upper buttock, removal of excess skin and fat of the arms, and breast lift. You may also consider breast augmentation and buttock augmentation. Now, let's explore what we call these. To combine the love handles, tummy tuck, flanks, and buttocks, I would suggest what is called a 360 circumferential lower body lift. This will address the abdomen, pubic region, love handles, flanks, and upper buttocks. I would do this in one surgery which would be performed under general anesthesia and will take about 6-8 hours. Give yourself a month of recovery before the second stage which will be the upper body lift. The upper body lift would entail a breast lift or mastopexy, possible breast augmentation, and an arm reduction or brachioplasty. You could also consider liposuction of the back and possibly fat transfer to the buttock or BBL. Therefore, there is an upper body and lower body lift. Perhaps you were thinking the upper and lower combined to make the full-body lift? However, these are the procedures you may need and I suggest doing them in two surgeries. I hope this helps to answer your question about whether you need a full-body lift. Thank you.

I specialize in reconstructive plastic surgery after weight loss. If you have any more questions regarding the lower body lift, 360 circumferential lower body lift, belt lipectomy, belt abdominoplasty, or belt dermolipectomy please contact my office. Since the body lift is a big procedure, please seek an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon with significant experience performing the lower body lift. Do your research. Make sure they have performed at least 100 circumferential lower body lift surgeries and have the before and after pictures to prove it. Carefully examine their before and after pictures and check their reviews on RealSelf.  If you cannot find an experienced, lower body lift surgeon in your neighborhood, consider traveling out of state if you must.

Sincerely, Dr. Katzen

You have developed significant saggy skin on your abdomen, mons pubic, sides of abdomen, outer thighs, lovehandles and buttocks, so you are a perfect candidate for a Lower Body Lift which will include in my hands 8 procedures done at once: 360 skin resection, muscle repair, mons lift, lifting of outer thighs, tightening of lovehandles, real buttocks lift, liposuction of waist and lovehandles and mild fat grafting to hip dents and mild to buttocks. You already have a very nice and feminine bone structure, so I foresee a wonderful result. Be encouraged!!Dr. Cárdenas.

Thank you for the question. Based on your photos, you are a good candidate for circumferential body lift. This procedure combines the traditional tummy tuck with excess skin and fat removal from your lower back in order to lift your buttocks. I hope this helps. I wish you the best of luck.
