How do you avoid a straight up and down body figure with skin removal surgery?

Isalu82
Down 100 pounds and looking to get a breast lift and skin removal. Most of the body lift "after" pictures i've seen have no shape. No waist or hips just boxy, straight up and down. I would like an hourglass figure. I did have a slight hourglass before gaining, so don't want to switch to a boxy no waist look
