I’m a bit confused as to which procedure to go for. Currently, I am 77 kg, and hoping to lose more weight by May. My highest was 124 kg before bariatric surgery in 2009. I’m 162.5 cm. Could I get away with an extended TT and 360 instead of F-D-L TT?
Answer: Extended tummy tuck, fleur-de-lis, or 360 body lift Thank you for your question regarding if you need an extended tummy tuck or fleur-de-lis. By examining your photos, it looks like you might benefit from a 360 circumferential lower body lift. This would address your buttocks, hips, abdomen, and mons region. If your buttocks don’t bother you, maybe consider an extended tummy tuck with vertical torsoplasty to address back fat and give you an hourglass figure. An essential part of your tummy tuck will be the muscle plication (which will bring your abdomen in by 4-6 inches). Muscle plication should be included in your tummy tuck.

Answer: Tummy tuck Congratulations on your weight loss! You will have a tighter flatter upper abdomen with the fleur-de-lis than with the extended tuck. However, you should still get good results with the extended tuck. Lose all the weight you want to prior to surgery.

Answer: Incisions Congratulations on your weight loss! It is best to get to your goal weight before considering surgery. It appears you have excess skin on the upper portion of the abdomen. This will be best addressed by FDL. If you choose to have an extended tuck you will definitely have improvement, but you may be left with loose skin on the upper portion of the abdomen. I've included a video about plastic surgery after major weight loss that I hope you find helpful.
