42 yrs. Lost 60lbs. W127lbs and 5ft2. Im looking for a surgeon that specializes in lower body transformations. I WILL travel to get the best outcome. I have worked hard to attain and maintain this weight but my body does not reflect that. I want a very tight silhouette.Cellulite, jiggly skin, stubborn fat. What procedures would give the maximum tightness to my lower half (butt, thighs, hips, knees, calves) Can they all be combined? 1 pic is my wish. Is that a far fetched dream? Pls help!!

Answer: Surgical Options for Your Desired Lower Body Transformation Thank you for your question regarding what to do with your lower body. Thank you also for the pictures you attached. Let’s first analyze your pictures and the areas that you want to be addressed. In regards to your buttock, you have excess skin and fat, and cellulite. Regarding your lateral or outer thigh, you have excess skin and fat and cellulite. Regarding your inner thighs, you have excess skin and fat and mild cellulite but mostly hanging skin. In regards to your calves, you have primarily excess fat but not too much excess skin. The best way to address the buttocks and the lateral thighs are with a 360 circumferential lower body lift. During a 360 circumferential lower body lift, the lateral thighs are lifted along with the buttocks. Excess skin and fat of the buttocks are lifted and permanently removed. If your abdomen bothers you, this can also be corrected during the same procedure; namely, the circumferential lower body lift. The body lift does not significantly impact the inner or medial thigh. To address the inner or medial thigh, you need a vertical medial thigh lift from the groin to the knee. During this procedure, liposuction is performed to remove the inner thigh fat, and the incision from the groin to the knee illuminates excess skin. In regards to your calves, the best solution in my opinion, would be calf liposuction. Each procedure can be performed separately with three separate recoveries. However, I often perform them as one, namely the 360 lower body lift combined with the thigh lift and reduction combined with the calf liposuction. Plan to give yourself at least a 3-4 week recovery. The procedure would be done under general anesthesia and would require several days of monitoring after the procedure. Please seek an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Lower body contouring Based on these photos, it seems that one should consider doing your surgery in two stagers. First, an aggressive liposuction of lower extremities including calves and ankles, followed with true lower body lift 12 months later. Do not expect that this extensive surgery is going to significantly change signs of cellulitis, unfortunately. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon familiar with this procedure is recommended. Good luck.
