Answer: Enhancing Your Thighs with a Lower Body Lift Congratulations on your incredible transformation! With the amount of weight you’ve lost, a Lower Body Lift would be a great option to enhance your results. This procedure not only improves the contour and texture of your thighs (especially the outer and front areas), but also helps lift and reshape the buttocks, giving a more balanced and refined silhouette. You already have a fantastic figure, and a Lower Body Lift will truly showcase your body’s natural shape. A detailed evaluation will allow us to tailor the procedure to your specific needs and ensure the best possible results. I’d love to review your case and discuss how we can help you achieve your goals! Dr. Cardenas

Answer: Best and the most complete collection will be from a lower body lift Thank you for your photos. The areas of loose skin extends all the way around your body, is on your lateral thighs and has caused buttocks ptosis. While an abdominoplasty would correct your front and a part of your sides, you would be left with incomplete correction. A lower body lift would allow resection of all of the areas of loose tissue and would result in a flatter, smoother abdomen, tighter sides, smoother lateral thighs, and lifted and reshape buttocks. If you would like to have the best, most complete result, a lower body lift would be your best choice.

Answer: 360-degree abdominoplasty is needed A thigh lift is a procedure that should be performed after abdominoplasty. This is because abdominoplasty often results in some degree of improvement in the thighs. Performing a thigh lift while there is still sagging in the lower abdomen may compromise its success. To address your concerns, a 360-degree abdominoplasty would be the most effective option, as it can also improve deformities in the thighs.

Answer: Belt Lipectomy vs. Body Lift I think the best thing for contour would be a lower body lift or belt lipectomy. Only an in person physical exam would be able to determine which would be best. The difference really lies in the undermining of the thighs and the pulling on the lower body. If this produces a robust correction on physical exam, it is worth doing. However, if this does not, a belt lipectomy, in which the thigh tissue is not undermined and the scar is slightly more superiorly positioned, is likely the best answer.
