What defines a "massive weight loss pt"? Are there plastic surgeons that specialize in surgery for these types of pts?

Apollo star
Recently learned that this applies to me. Not sure how about the word massive..... Any way, what all qualifies the title? The total amount loss in comparison to ideal body weight? Also, what makes these patients different than those seeking similar procedures for different reasons? Just wondering. 5'2" and down 115lbs. Looking to loose a few more pounds and then the skin.
