Do I need a lower body lift w/ FDL or without? (Photos)

valerie_heath
42 y/o with history of yo yo dieting and major weight loss, most weight lost about 80lbs. Current weight about 155lbs. I carry a little fat/tissue above my belly button and I’m hoping the vertical incision from a FDL can be avoided if I have a Lower Body Lift? Lastly, the last picture is an example of the buttocks shape I would like to get. Is it possible for my buttocks to be contoured like shown it the last picture?
