I had an extended tummy tuck after a 150 lb weight loss and my surgeon said I didn’t need a circumferential body lift because I didn’t have too much skin around my hips/back. That turned out to be a lie and now my tummy tuck seems to have failed as I have loose skin on my upper and lower abdomen again with this giant tire of excess skin around my hips.
Answer: Lower body lift Based on your photos it appears you will have an improvement in your results from a lower body lift. This would address the skin laxity that concerns you both in the front and back. You may be a candidate to revise the tummy tuck as well. An upper body lift which involves a horizontal scar along the bra line to address upper body skin laxity. That procedure would typically be performed in a separate stage from the lower body lift.

Answer: I cannot determinate if you are candidate for upper body lift. The images reveal that the tummy tuck addressed the surplus of vertical skin; however, there remains an excess of horizontal skin that necessitates a fleur-de-lis procedure: a vertical incision from the ribs to the pubic area. Additionally, to get the best results possible it is crucial to eliminate excess skin on both the hips and buttocks, achieved by extending the original tummy tuck incision to 360 degrees. This extension enables improvement, encompassing both buttocks lift and lateral thigh lift.
