This is so embarrassing to share I had gastric bypass 12/3/15 and I've lost about 125 pounds.I have a consult and will ask if the FDL TT is the best for me but my pubic area is another hugh concern. Is this something that is seen often to many plastic surgeons? Is it fixable? I just want a normal looking pubic area . But, if it's fixable and I have an FDL TT would I have an additional scar from the pubic lift? the scars don't bother me by the way, just wondering if I would have separate wounds.

Answer: Tummy tuck and pubic lift I do quite a bit of massive weight loss patients and ptosis or sagging of the pubic area is quite common and is something that can be corrected with surgery. Looking at your pictures, I think that you may be a good candidate for a circumferential mid-body lift type of procedure as your laxity seems to extend far posteriorly. You can add a fleur de lis incision, but I don't think that I would recommend it initially as you will get a nice result from the mid-body lift and can avoid the vertical scar.

Answer: Body Contouring after Weight Loss Congratulations on your weight loss! And thank you for sharing your photos. I agree a FDL TT is your best approach to recontour your abdomen. The mons will be addressed at that time with no additional scars or wounds. Just be sure to share with your chosen surgeon your concerns and make sure he/she is going to address it. Also be prepared to need revisions after the first surgery. The mons can be difficult to correct completely and if it sags again, more skin removal may be necessary. Best wishes.
