I am getting mixed suggestions on what procedure will help my loose skin situation. After losing 90 pounds and having two children. I've had 5 consults and a variety of recommendations. It is making me so confused on which doctor I should go with. Should I get a standard tummy tuck, extended tummy tuck, or body lift? Will lipo of my outer thighs help me or make my skin worse?

Answer: Which procedure should I get after weight loss? Hello @Mommyonamission05 thank you for your question and showing you pictures. It is important to take into account your expectations in order to make a complete surgical plan. Most likely because of the pregnancies not only the skin got lax but also an abdominal diastasis was generated, the latter must be solved with a muscular plication as well as take out excess of skin and relocation of the navel. You can also consider improving the shape and volume of the buttock. The best course of action is to consult one or several board certified plastic surgeons for more information and recommendations. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Answer: Considering procedures Congratulations on your impressive weight loss! From your photos it appears you would benefit from a full tummy tuck with liposuction for contouring. The outer thighs can be done at the same time. When selecting a surgeon review credentials and before/after photos. Also be sure to listen to your "gut feeling"! It is important that you are comfortable and confident in your surgeon and surgical plan.
