I have lost 175 pounds with the help of a RNY gastric bypass in 2002. I have also had 3 c-sections. I am 5'8", currently 155 pounds. It is my goal to weigh 140 pounds before surgery. I need to repair my arms, breasts (lift with augmentation), tummy, and thighs. Can these areas all be taken care of in one surgery like the Mommy Makeover, or should I expect to need separate upper and lower body lifts?

Answer: Am I a candidate for a Mommy Makeover after massive weight loss, or will I need separate body contouring procedures? It is usually more reasonable to divide the procedures with the tummy tuck/lower body lift performed first.Find a board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of tummy

Answer: Multiple staged procedures Based on your photo I would recommend a Fleur de lis Tummy Tuck which will involve a vertical incision down the midline of the abdomen in order to address the horizontal and vertical laxity of the skin. You also may require a circumferential incision that goes all the way around the waist. The arms can be addressed in a separate stage. Congratulations on your weight loss and don't worry if you can't get down to 140 lbs, as you will lose about 10 lbs of skin during surgery. Consult with a few board certified plastic surgeons for a more in depth examination before having surgery.Best wishes,Dr.Bruno
