Answer: After weight loss surgeries It is wonderful what you have achieved after losing all the weight. Your BMI still little high and I will recommend to lose 20-25 lbs more in order to achieve a healthier BMI.

Answer: Considering surgery Congratulations on your impressive weight loss! From the front you can consider a breast lift with/without reduction and a tummy tuck with liposuction to contour your curves. The approach for the tummy tuck could be an extended incision or even a circumferential. A bra line lift would address excess skin and tissue on the upper back. I've included a video that I hope you find helpful.

Answer: 3 stage surgeries needed At 5'7 and 210 lbs, your BMI is 32.5 which is a little high for surgery. 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, liposuction can be done. After these have been completed, you have consider 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. You will eventually need a posterior continuation of the abdominoplasty that will create the circumferential lift.

Answer: Body contouring Thank you for your question. Congratulations on your weight loss! The road to body contouring can be long. You will likely need multiple procedures to get the absolute result that you want, especially if you are considering a breast lift, arm lift etc. The first procedure should be a circumferential body lift. This will get rid of the excess abdominal tissue, lift your outer thighs, and take care of most of your back rolls. The benefit of this procedure is that it avoids the large midline abdominal scar of a Fluer de lis abdominoplasty. Good luck
