Tummy tuck vs body lift after losing 90-100 lbs? (Photo)

Question

42 yr female 5'4 140lbs natural weight loss of 90-100lbs I have been working out and still not seeing the results I want so my question is would a lower body lift address the problems areas I'm still having with my tummy, buttocks and inner thighs or would a tummy tuck and thigh lift with lipo360 be better? Would my arms need addressing as well? Can all of this be done at the same time?

Congratulations on your impressive weight loss!  You appear to be a great candidate for a tummy tuck which would remove excess fat and skin as well as correct abdominal wall laxity.  An in person examination is recommended to determine the best route for the other procedures based on your goals for surgery.  I've included a video I hope you find helpful.

Thank you for your question and pictures. 
Yes, it is possible for you to get a tummy tuck and it will be fine for the lose skin. 
If you're willing to travel, Surgeons in the Dominican Republic have experience and very high standard of excellence when it comes to plastic surgery. I'm positive you can get what you're looking for.

Dear Exuberant512527,
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.
