I have gone from 310-180 from 2009-2012 and stayed at around 180 since. I would like to know which would be more beneficial for me when I only have a 5 week recovery time before going back to work as a kindergarten teacher. Also if I join do either with some lipo and arm lift, how much recovery time should I expect?
Answer: Lower body lift After the massive weight loss you have developed a severe degree of saggy skin on abdomen, lateral, pubic and maybe buttocks. So you will be a great candidate for Lower Body Lift which should include Circumferential Tummy Tuck, pubic lift, tight muscle repair to create a smaller waist and flatter abdomen, and Real buttocks lift. I would add some lipo to waist and lovehandles to sculpt the area and harvest some fat to transfer to buttocks and hips. You will look wonderful. I would recommend not to combine with anything else. Be encouraged Dr. Cardenas

Answer: Abdominoplasty vs Circumferential Abdominoplasty Thank you for your question, Anon08. Based on your photos and the weight dimensions that you have provided, Circumferential Abdominoplasty is going to give you the most comprehensive result. This procedure can be performed at the time of the arm contouring procedure. You can expect about 3 weeks of downtime with minimal activity. If you have a 5 week recovery period, that will be perfect. As for resuming strenuous activity, heavy lifting and working out, you are looking at 4 to 6 weeks of downtime.

Answer: TT or BL? If your buttock is saggy then the body lift will be the best option if not then the tummy tuck. Have a formal consultation for a recommendation. Best wishes, Dr. Aldo

Answer: TT versus lower body lift ? No question in my mind. A lower body lift is the better choice. This is major surgery . Five weeks should be fine for your recovery period. Whether you have your arms done at the same time is up to you and your surgeon. I would prefer staging the operations.

Answer: Tummy tuck or 360 lift after weight loss? Hello dear!!Thanks for the question and provided information as well.Congratulations for the weight loss, that's the first big change. In your case, i recommend to performance surgery problem by problem, because the extra skin it's too much. The first step to do it's the tummy tuck, and then with a better evaluation and more photos we'll know the next steps.Make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and concerns.Good luck :)
