I'm know I'm overweight ( currently 100 kg) i have trouble with rashes under my tummy apron, my gp suggested tummy tuck, feel like I'm in a circular hell of need to loose weight but severe painful rashes interfere with regular exercise I'm going to have lap band soon which will help reduce size of apron and make it physically easier to exercise but I'm starting to wonder if 1) can I have tummy tuck now or 2) tummy tuck or body lift ?
Answer: After Weight Loss procedures: which will be best 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

Answer: Is a body lift or tummy tuck a better option? Thanks so much for the opportunity to answer this question for you. I believe the Lap band surgery will lead to additional weight loss and create a different shape for your body. In turn, you may have additional skin excess that should be evaluated after your new weight has stabilized for at least 6 months. Once things are stable then get a evaluation for body lift versus tummy tuck. The decision to recommend a body lift will be dependent on whether the buttocks and outer thighs have sagged. If that is the case, then I think the body lift will be the better option. If your buttock and outer thigh does well and there is no sagging, then consider dealing with the skin folds in the front with an extended tummy tuck or Fleur-de-Lis tummyn tuck. Speak with certified plastic surgeons for best results. Best wishes, Dr. ALDO

Answer: Tummy surgery after weight loss You should wait until you have lost weight after your lap band surgery, and after the weight is reduced, then I think it is likely you will need a body lift. If you have it done before the weight loss, then you are likely to need the surgery again. Good luck with the weight loss, Dr Steve Merten, Sydney

Answer: Wait Until After Lap Band Surgery If you're going to have lap band soon, wait until you've completed that and adjusted to it. It's likely exercise will be easier for you as you adjust following that surgery, prior to consulting with plastic surgeons about tummy tucks and body lifts.
