Thank you for your question regarding loose skin in your abdomen, buttocks, and thighs after VSG surgery and 100-pound weightloss. Thank you for attaching your photos and history. I would highly suggest you undergo a 360 circumferential lower body lift. During a 360 circumferential body lift, an incision is made just above the pubic region over the hips and joins at the top of the buttock crack. During this procedure, the stomach is lifted and reduced, the stomach is flattened, the six-pack muscle is brought together, the belly button is recreated, the hips are lifted and reduced, and the buttocks are lifted and reduced. During the final resection, excess skin and fat of the abdomen, hips, and buttocks are completely removed. The final scar line is underneath the reasonable bikini line.Regarding your thighs, I would advise thigh liposuction to be combined with a longitudinal vertical medial thigh lift. During this procedure, an incision is made from the groin to the knee, removing excess skin and fat. If the skin and fat around your knees don't bother you, a limited incision can be performed by extending the incision partially down the inner thigh. The circumferential 360 body and thigh lift can be combined in one surgery. Please allow yourself two to three-week of recovery. Plan to wear your garment for about six weeks. I hope I answered your questions regarding your abdomen, buttocks, and thighs and what procedures I recommend.
You can certainly have these areas all tightened with a lower body lift with abdominoplasty and inner thigh lift.However, the drawback is the scars. The lower body lift/abdominoplasty scar is usually nicely hidden by underwear, and the inner thigh lift is unless you need a vertical excision. Discuss with a plastic surgeon who is experienced in these procedures. Good luck.
Congratulations on your weight loss! Your figure looks great in these photos. It's really important to have great nutrition and a stable weight before having body contouring surgery. Of all the areas you complain about, the tummy is the thing that I can most easily recommend to you. Tummy skin just doesn't seem to bounce back. Some of the other areas may improve or respond to muscle building fitness exercises, not so much with tummy. Skin tightening technology that does not involve surgery is very possibly a complete waste of money so beware of those promises. If you decide to have surgery, make sure you check your surgeon's board certification and affiliation with ASPS and ASAPS as a start! Again, congratulations on your weight loss!!
Maybe surgical excision. BUT the scars! Best to seek only in person opinions>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Hi Deborah,Yes, you can get pregnant after a body lift. Since 2000, I have performed hundreds of 360 circumferential lower body lifts. Since 2000, I have had over 20 patients successfully deliver healthy children after a 360 circumferential lower body lift. Two patients even had...
Hi and thanks for your question. The body lift typically involves muscle, or more accurately, fascia repair as part of the procedure. Make sure you see a surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Best of luck.
It's difficult to suggest without a in-person one-on-one consultation. The Mommy Makeover is a combination of procedures to bring a woman’s body back to the way she looked prior to pregnancy. Most commonly some variation of a #TummyTuck and #BreastSurgery are performed. Additional procedures c...
