I have recently lost 112 pounds and am scheduled for my plastics consult to talk about my procedure. After doing some research I'm curious to know if I should consider a 360 body lift instead of just a tummy tuck to help with my back with how lose my skin is.

Answer: Go Low to get Great Congratulations on your weight loss, that is a fantastic job and obviously required a lot of hard work. A lower body lift is a very powerful procedure and makes a dramatic difference in both the anterior and posterior appearance, but it is more intense and a little tougher recovery than just a tummy tuck. If you are bothered by your flat buttocks and excess back skin then a lower body lift with purse string gluteoplasty and some liposuction can be a dramatic procedure that make huge improvements. However, it is a bigger surgery and a little tougher recovery. If you take a look at some of the pictures of results in massive weight loss patients the best results are usually achieved with the lower body lift, because it does a better job of addressing the whole lower trunk and buttock.

Answer: Body Lift or Tummy Tuck Hi,i consider body contouring results and procedures as " total" body contouring , with a result that needs to look good from the front, the side and the back. In some cases a tummy tuck is the solution , but excess skin and lax tissue on the sides and back will not be corrected with a tummy tuck alone. In these cases an extended abdominoplasty or circumferential lower body lift is needed.its all about matching the right procedure with the right patient to get the result they are looking for, so think about what you want from thr result, talk to the surgeon and from there the decision should be clear as to tummy tuck or body lift
