Sagging skin after weight loss - what procedures would work? (Photos)

Question

Hello, I am 29 years old, 169cm and 52kg for context. I have lost a significant amount of weight and am at the point where I am happy, but I have some loose skin that I’d like to address. I had a breast lift in 2021 which I would like to redo to address the now loose skin and scarring, and there is some skin above my belly button that is loose, resulting in a frowning / horizontal shape that I don’t like. I’d just like to get some opinions on what might work for me! I would like to avoid a traditional full timmy tuck, and I would not like to get implants for my breasts. But I am open to any other suggestions, surgical or not! Many thanks in advance ☺️

Dear 333nymph,

it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Dear 333nymph, , thank you for sharing your questions and pictures. After analyzing your case I can say you're a good candidate for Vaser Liposuctionon flanks and back, Tummy tuck with muscle repair and breast lift. Make sure you go on consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Hope this helps and best of lucks. Dr. Luis Mejia.
