I had a gastric sleevel in 2016 and lost 100 lbs. My BMI is 28 and I am looking to tighten my skin post surgery. I have a pear shaped body with large love handles and hips. Some surgeons recommended a FDL and some recommended a 360 bodylift. I am looking for advice on what would be more appropriate in my case based on the photos.

Answer: Considering options Congratulations on your impressive weight loss! When considering the correct procedure(s) you will want to consider your goals for surgery and the area you want addressed. If you are concerned with the abdomen only the tummy tuck with liposuction should help, but the back will essentially remain as it is. If you are wanting to address the front and the back, the circumferential tummy tuck is more appropriate.

Answer: Circumferential lower body lift After loosing 100 lbs. you have significant skin redundancy. Procedure I would suggest to start with would be a belt lipectomy or circumferential body lift, which will address laxity in waist area. Additional procedures such as breast reduction, possibly tigh lift, may be considered later on. Hope this helps. Good luck.
