I have lost 125lbs and researching for a MMO. Currently I am 190lbs and 5'7". Would I benefit more from a lower body lift or a fleur de lis? Can the 2 be combined? I don't care about the scar. I want my mid section to be as small and tight as possible. Also, I am currently a 38DDD and I will choose gummy bear implants. To maintain my current cup size how many cc's would you suggest? Under or over the muscle for the most natural shape? Thank you in advance!
Answer: The best procedure for YOU It is almost impossible to determine quality of tissues on photos, but based on yours, I consider you will be a great candidate for a Lower Body Lift (Circumferential TT, Muscle repair, Buttocks lift) in order to achieve the best result. I may also combine with some liposuction to waist and lower back and a mild fat grafting to buttocks, just to add some curves to your body shape.Based on photos, I consider the FDL might be unnecessary.Be encouraged.Dr. Cardenas

CONTACT NOW Answer: Lower Body Lift I think you are a great candidate for a lower body lift. In order to really get the result you want you will need to reduce skin on the abdomen hips an buttocks. Let me congratulate you on your weight loss results! The next step is skin reduction. You will need to take a week off from strenuous activities and someone will need to check in on you during your first week of post operative care. I hope that helps but feel free to post any other questions regarding your concerns.

Answer: Fdl/ body lift hi!! Yes a body lift can be combined with an fdl. We do this type of procedure when lenght and width are the problem. In fact to decide we have to feel or touch the skin/ fat so we can relay on skin quality. We dont do combination with breast surgery when doing an fdl. We only do it with a normal body lift. Thank you!! Dr C.

Answer: Massive weight loss do I need a fleur de lis or lower body lift Congratulations on your massive weight loss. With or without surgery that is a stunning accomplishment. You will want your weight to be stable for about 6 months in most cases before surgery. If you continue to lose large amounts of weight (more than 15 lbs) then you can lose some of the benefits of surgery and have a recurrence of the loose skin. You can usually achieve a great outcome with a lower body lift in the hands of a skilled surgeon that is used to working with massive weight loss patients. I would not recommend a fleur de lis(fdl) incision unless you already have a large midline scar. The fdl incision will limit your choice in swimwear and not give you enough extra improvement in most cases to warrant how bad the scar looks. Also the lower body lift goes all the way around and gives the chance to perform a purse string gluteoplasty or buttock augmentation that can greatly improve your buttock profile at the same time as surgery.

Answer: Have you considered other options? Thanks for your question, mrsangieross. After evaluating your photos my recommendation would be to perform a tummy tuck in the abdomen area which allows to remove all excess of skin while repairing the muscles inside without resulting in a horizontal scar, only a vertical scar would be visible, said scar would be more conservative-looking and could be covered with a bikini.
