I have lost 80+ lbs and maintaining 6 years (regained 4ish) and left with excess skin, particularly in my stomach area. What procedures should I be looking at? I lift weights regularly but can't see any results in lower body due to skin.

Answer: Tummy tuck Dear Twoblackkitties, based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a TT. Full tummy tuck should tighten your abdominal muscles and remove the excess skin. Flanks liposuction would give you a better shape. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Procedures to consider after 80+ lb weight loss You've done a fantastic job keeping the weight where you want it and continuing to work out. You appear to be an excellent candidate for a tummy tuck with liposuction of your love handle area. A tummy tuck involves a lower abdominal incision and an incision around the belly button to remove excess skin and in most cases correct and tighten muscle separation that may be present. Liposuction of the love handle area (the area that extends outwards from the hips) will also be beneficial for you and can be done at the same time. All the best to you, Dr. Nancy de Kleer
