Would I benefit from a belt lipectomy or tummy tuck?

yalie8
It appears that a body lift would provide the best results, but I am concerned that my butt would go flat getting the body lift. If I get the tummy tuck, I may can save the butt from going flat. Decisions decisions. I am confident my doctor is advising me correctly. Secondly, I feel like my butt is so heavy that it will pop the stitches or pull and separate from incision. I have thick heavy skin. Anyone worked with patience with this type of skin?
