After losing 30 pounds, what procedures would enhance my overall shape? (photos)

Question

I have lost about 30 lbs and don’t feel comfortable with my body shape. My area of concerns are breasts, arms, belly, under chin, and lack of bottom. Would a BBL, Lipo, or cool sculpting look best to address my areas of concern? What breast surgery would you recommend? Also, how much would the total package surgery cost?

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. You are a great candidate for a 360 Lipo, BBL and breast lift (+/- implants). This will completely transform your shape and give you a more youthful look. Prices vary around the country so discuss that with your board certified plastic surgeon. I hope this helps.

Hello dear @Genius633132, thank you for your question and showing your pictures. Yes a BBL or fat transfer to the glutes can improve your figure. Using this technique, I mean lipo injections or BBL, you can get a better shape, more projection, and volume to the glutei. Depending on the seeding technique used by the specialist, the level of resorption would be minimal and the result would be natural. You could also review the option in your surgical to have a modified tummy tuck as well. My advice to you is to focus on your body first because a BBL involves liposculture, a surgery that shapes your body so it is more harmonious. However, you do loose weight. When you lose weight you also lose weight in your breast because part of the mamary tissue is fat. so what I see when the breast surgery is performed with full body Lipo is the first few days you are perfect, with the results you want, but as the months go by, the breasts begin to fall and you begin to see that they become flaccid and smaller and you are unhappy with the results in the long term. Is best if consult one or several board certified plastic surgeon for more information and recommendations. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

It is challenging to recommend any type of surgery without fully evaluating a patient in person. Based on your photos, I would recommend breast lift with implants with an internal bra system for support (galaflex), abdominoplasty, bilateral upper arm liposuction with skin excision (brachioplasty). I would recommend seeing a board-certified or board-eligible plastic surgeon with aesthetic surgery training and experience to tackle this type of problem in a safe and efficient manner. Best of luck!

Congratulations on your weight loss. I think an abdominoplasty would make a very dramatic change to the abdominal wall. Some of the fat that would be removed can be placed in the buttock to provide better shape. The breast can be made to appear more youthful by lifting the breast tissue higher as well as centering the nipple on that new breast position. If you wanted fullness in the upper part of the breast it would require an implant. Best of luck.

Thanks for the question.

In this regard, I recommend you waist and back Liposculpture, getting better curves especially in the waist, improving your body contour.

Finally, I suggested take the fat we get and transfer to the buttocks and hips, to mold them and get better volume, contour and butt projection, is that we know as "Brazilian Butt Lift" (BBL).

Kind regards

Dear Genius633132, thank you for sharing your question. After analyzing your case I can say you're a good candidate for Lipo in your abdomen, flanks and back + 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 Genius633132, 
Congratulation on your weight loss journey. Patients who work to become the best version of themselves tend to have even better results after surgery. As long as you are otherwise healthy, you would be a good candidate for Lipo360 and BBL. You would need a consultation to assess your skin quality and any recommendations regarding skin removal or other tightening procedures. Breast changes are all dependent on what you are looking for. That may be a breast lift or a breast lift with implants depending on your goals. Make sure you see a board certified plastic surgeon to address all of your concerns in detail. Best wishes on your continued journey.

Thank you for your questions & photos. From your photos, you would be a good candidate for lipo 360 with BBL. Liposuction of your abdomen, flanks and bra roll would contour your torso. Fat transfer to your hips and buttocks would accentuate your curves while lifting and shaping your buttocks. You can also liposculpt your arms & chin at the same time. For your breast, a lift would raise and reshape your breast. For fuller and (or) larger breasts, fat transfer for breast implant. Your expectations and health will dictate the best procedure(s) for you. I suggest a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to go over the options that best address your goals. Best of luck!

Dear Genius633132,
based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a BBL. Liposuction of your abdomen, back and flanks should give you more curves and hourglass shape and fat transfer to buttocks should give you more projection. But you will probably have some loose skin so tummy tuck and breast lift are also an option. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
