Hello @Phenomenal68234, thank you for your question. In my opinion as part of your surgical plan I suggest you take into account to have a tummy tuck and liposculture. Each procedure serves a different purpose, a tummy tuck is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen and strengthens the abdominal muscles, in which there is abdominal lipolysis, abdominal diastasis repair, skin removal with umbilical reconstruction depending on each case. On the other hand liposculture we take out fat from all parts of the body to make it more harmonious. The two procedures combine will give you the best results. Is important that you consult consult with several board certified plastic surgeon. If you are considering surgery, consultation with a plastic surgeon who is experienced in this procedure is essential to ensure optimal results. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Thank you for your question regarding what procedure combination would deliver the best results for your body. Thank you for your history and your pictures. In examining your pictures, you have excess skin and fat on the abdomen and the arms. Since you have excess skin. The best treatment is the removal of the skin, not liposuction. Therefore, in my opinion, I would suggest an arm lift and a tummy tuck. If you do liposuction, you are counting on the ability of your skin to retract. At your current age and weight, there is no guarantee that the skin will lie flat after liposuction. Indeed it may look worse rather than better. Therefore, I would highly suggest an arm lift/arm reduction combined with a tummy tuck for the best results. I hope this helps to answer your question regarding surgeries that will deliver the best results for your body. 
Sincerely,
Dr. Katzen

Dear Phenomenal68234, Thank you for your question. After analyzing your case I can say you're a good candidate for Vaser Lipo + Tummy Tuck + BBL. I'm sure those procedures will give you an amazing result! Make sure you go on consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Hope this helps and best of lucks. Dr. Luis Mejia.

Hi. As you can easily see in your pictures you are not candidate for a Lipo 360 since your abdominal muscles are really separated ( a condition named diastasis rectis ), you have a bulky  abdomen with excessive skin and fat, which will not improve with lipo only. You have 40 pounds over weight, meaning a 1 degree 1 obesity which is a risk factor for surgery.
After loosing those pounds your are a good candidate for a Full Tummy Tuck Plus Lipo and BBL if needed or wanted. Do not believe for a second you may undergo Lipo and pretend to get good results.
