Skin removal

I’ve spoke to a few surgeons who have reccomended a 360 body lift following weight loss of 120lbs.

My breasts and thighs are terrible alongside my stomach, am I going to get much of a lift from a 360 in my buttocks and thighs or would I get more from breast implants with lift and a extended tummy tuck

Thanks!

Procedure: Body Contouring

Based on what I see from your photos, you would need breast augmentation with implants, full abdominoplasty, and medial thigh lifts in my practice.

Hi, thank you for your question regarding whether you would get better results with an extended tummy tuck with breast implants and a lift or a 360-degree lower body lift. Your question is difficult to answer because only you can answer it. Let me explain.

Congratulations on your weight loss of 120 pounds! That is a fantastic accomplishment. Thank you for your history and your pictures. Regarding reconstructive plastic surgery after massive weight loss, you will achieve excellent results in your abdomen, pubic region, hips, buttocks, inner thighs, and breasts. However, your surgeries must be performed separately or staged. Also, I suggest you have your surgeries according to which areas bother you the most. Therefore, what area bothers you the most? Based on your answer, I would do that procedure first. Then, what area bothers you the second most? I suggest a modified longitudinal, vertical medial thigh lift to treat your thighs.
