Hi and thank you for providing photographs with your question. What really matters is what your goals are. If your main goals are to remove excess skin, contour your abdomen / waistline, and improve your overall breast aesthetics then I think a circumferential tummy tuck with flank liposuction will be a great procedure. This has the added benefit of removing excess skin from your lower back and elevating your buttock (as composed to a traditional tummy tuck). Your breasts could then be addressed with either a breast lift or a breast lift with implants depending on your goals for breast size and cleavage. Lastly, your upper back does have moderate fat present but also has excess skin that will not be addressed with liposuction. A bra-line lift is a nice procedure but the tradeoff is a visible scar depending on what you are wearing. I recommend that you find a surgeon who is familiar with weight loss body contouring surgery who can talk you through the different ways these procedures can be safely staged to achieve the best outcome for your aesthetic goals.
Thank you for your inquiry! I recommend scheduling a consult with a board certified plastic surgeon like myself and we can create a surgical plan based on your specific goals!
Dear lambgrl444,it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you have a lot of loose skin so you will most likely need tummy tuck, breast and back lift in order to remove it all. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MDCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
Determining the best procedure for you depends on your specific goals, body type, and overall health. Tummy Tuck is ideal as you have excess skin and fat around the stomach area. It involves removing excess skin and tightening the abdominal muscles, resulting in a firmer and flatter abdomen. Also, liposuction can effectively remove excess fat from the belly and back, resulting in a more contoured appearance.Choosing the right procedures involves careful consideration of your goals and a detailed discussion with a qualified plastic surgeon. They can guide you through the process and help you make an informed decision that aligns with your desired outcomes.Sincerely, Dr. Emmanuel Mallol
You have lost a significant amount of weight. I would recommend a circumferential abdominoplasty that would address your abdomen, lateral thighs and buttock. A bra lift would address the excess skin of the mid back, along with a breast lift. This would be 2 procedures.
Getting an arm tuck under local with a little iv sedation for complete comfort would look amazing and be easy to undergo. Do the mid back fat lipo at the same time.
Thank you for providing photographs. It appears that you would be a great candidate for Mastopexy (breast lift), abdominoplasty with lateral hip extension, and as a second stage surgery, a bra strap back lift. Good luck on your plastic surgery journey.
I would begin with your breasts using The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. At the same time, you can undergo a tummy tuck. If you are not planning future pregnancies, I recommend abdominoplasty with mesh reinforcement. The mesh creates a more hourglass figure by compressing the abdominal wall resulting in early satiety and helps maintain a reduced weight. After you have healed from these procedures, you can consider a back lift or circumferential body. You may also want to consider a brachioplasty for the hanging arm skin.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.
Hello; This is a situation that; can only be solved by removing fat from any parts of your body; there is no. You need for stretching surgery in every part of your body. Lipoabdominoplasty, Inner Thigh Lift, Arm Lift, Back Lift and Lateral Thigh Lift; these are all required and necessary. Of course, by the way; also to the breasts; with or without prosthesis; Breast Lift process is required.
There are several procedures to consider in your case. Breast and arm lift, abdominoplasty, excision of back folds and possibly buttock lift with use of flap tissue for buttock augmentation. It would be in your best interest to do an in-person or teleconference consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with good reputation in body contouring surgery. Good luck.
Dear drehhuh, I understand your concern. Since you are 10 months postop, your results are most likely final and it won't change much. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or...

Either approach will work, and both come with the risks and benefits you described. Based on your age and pictures you should be a good candidate for arm liposuction. However, only an in person physical exam will be able to tell the laxity of your skin. If your skin is of good quality, with good...
