I had bariatric surgery in 2013 and am down 120 pounds and at a stable weight of about 135 pounds. I’m 5’3. Most of my loose skin is on my tummy and inner thighs, and I'd like it gone. I’d ideally like a BBL, also. I have some skin and extra fat on my sides/back, but it’s mostly in the front. Is a traditional, extended, or circular tummy tuck the best option to get the smooth look I want for my tummy and thighs with a BBL?

Answer: Tummy tuck / lipo of the thighs and cellulaze Thank you so much for your question and congratulations on the weight loss. Looking at the photos you have provided I would recommend an extended tummy tuck to the last fold of skin, liposuction of the inner and outer thighs and maybe some cellulaze to help with the cellulite issues. This will allow the surgeon to tighten up the abdominal wall muscles, remove the extra skin and give you the flattest belly. They will be able to tighten up and contour the legs for you as well. I would suggest speaking to a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in person to evaluate you and discuss your options. Best of luck to you.

Answer: I had bariatric surgery in 2013, now at 135 lbs. Which type of tummy tuck is right for me to achieve a smooth look? Congratulations on your weight loss! In person exam is essential. Based on your photos- it appears that you would benefit from an extended tummy tuck with possible vertical component, and possible flank liposuction. I suggest that you seek an experienced Board Certified PS and review your options and details.
