41, 3 kids, currently 100 kg. Is a body lift or tummy tuck a better option? (Photo)

It is the best decision to make: lose weight before the Body lift. After losing a significant amount of weight, your apron will hang even more and your lower back will become saggier. So, then it will be the perfect moment to do a Lower body Lift which (in my hands) means: Circumferential Tummy Tuck, Pubic lift, lovehandle tightening and real buttocks lift. I complete the beautiful transformation with some liposuction to lower back.You will be looking awesome after all.Be encouraged.Dr. Cardenas

Thank you for your question about whether to undergo a body lift or tummy tuck before or after lap band surgery, along with the provided pictures.
The consensus among plastic surgeons specializing in post-massive weight loss procedures is to prioritize the lap band surgery first. The key is to lose weight through the lap band procedure and then allow your weight to stabilize for about three months before considering any reconstructive plastic surgeries like a tummy tuck or lower body lift.
Undergoing plastic surgery before your lap band could lead to complications if significant weight loss occurs afterward. You might find yourself needing revision surgeries for the tummy tuck or body lift due to further changes in your body contour. This could mean additional discomfort, more time off work, increased expenses, and potentially less satisfactory results.
In conclusion, it's advisable to proceed with the lap band surgery first, achieve and maintain your weight loss goals, and then assess the need for plastic surgery.
I hope this guidance helps in making an informed decision about the timing and sequencing of your surgeries. Wishing you the best on this journey.
Sincerely,
Dr. Katzen

Hi, thanks for sharing your concern and photos with us!
First I want to congratulate you for making this important decision. Deciding to get an aesthetic procedure to change your body and get a new life style is a big step!

Looking at your photos I might say that you´ll be a great candidate to get an entire back, waist and flanks liposuction, with BBL, and tummy tuck, this is because all the extra skin located in this areas plus your abdominal muscle needs to be repaired. Before all this, of course, you need to get a complete medical evaluation and laboratory exams to check everything is fine. For us your safety, always, is going to be first.

Have a great day!

Dr. JPG
