I have gotten some quotes from several doctors and some are recommending a circular tummy tuck and one said that I didn’t need a circular tummy tuck. He stated that a extended tummy tuck with liposuction would suffice for me . I would like some advice on which option would give me the best result.

Answer: Circumferential body lift Great question! Understand that liposuction is a volume only procedure it will only take care of any excess fat. Only with a belt lipectomy can all the excess skin be removed. It looks like you have undergone some massive weight loss therefore the best procedure for you would be this belt lipectomy / circumferential tummy tuck which will improve your body contour. Seek a consultation with a few board-certified plastic surgeons and go with the one you're most comfortable with.Best of luck and hope this information helps! - Dr. Roger Tsai @DrRogerTsai Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Body lift vs tummy tuck If you have loose skin that extends to your love handles and lower back, then a body lift (circumferential tummy tuck) may be best for you. It's difficult to tell however based on these photos, an exam in person is the only way to know for sure.Best wishes,Dr.Bruno
