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?
