You should do well with breast augmentation and upper body lift; items you should discuss with your surgeon include:

1)BREAST AUG: You do not need a lift at the same time; almost all of my patients that need an upper body lift also need a breast lift when performing their augmentation.

2)UPPER BODY LIFT: you should make sure you know where your incision will be placed and that this is to your liking.

It is very common to get a LBL after TT; this is because, after the tummy protrusion has been corrected, patient’s often notice the fullness over their flanks and back. We routinely perform LBL as part of a tummy tuck revision. 

Inner thigh lift is critical to improve the over all appearance of the legs if you have redundant skin in this area. A low incision tummy tuck, and lateral thigh tuck are also very helpful for tightening and lifting the lateral thighs which will also help the inner thighs.

Please consider a Total Body Lift which addresses all of the body parts in a single safe surgical session. these can include: arms, breasts, abdomen, black, buttocks, pubis, and inner and outer thighs. Please see examples below. The time for this surgery is dependent on you having reached your near ideal weight and being stable at this weight for six months. You should also obviously have redundant skin requiring hemming.

LBL incisions are determined by where the skin redundancy is located. You want to consider placing the incision to maximize removal of redundancy but must also take into account the anatomy as your surgical incisions will create natural junctions between for example the pubic region and the belly or the buttocks region and the lower back. Lockwood defined much of the anatomy involved as well as designed a tool that we use to elevate the lateral thigh region. Liposuction is employed by all body lift patients to minimize operative bleeding as well as to collect the fat if needed to augment the buttocks volume.

Specialized centers will provide you the opportunity to eliminate all skin redundancies from your entire body in a single session, called a Total body Lift. A total body lift will allow you to remove skin redundancies from: arms, breasts, abdomen, back, armpit, pubic region, flanks, buttocks, lateral and medial thighs in a single session.

A total body lift will allow you to remove skin redundancies from: arms, breasts, abdomen, back, armpit, pubic region, flanks, buttocks, lateral and medial thighs in a single session.

Total body lifts are performed and include:1)breast lift 2)tummy tuck 3)lateral thigh and buttocks lift 4)arm lift 5)medial thigh lift 6)fat grafting to the buttocks. Total body lift involves all of the above procedures that are performed simultaneously.

An extended tummy tuck will remove the redundancy over the flank region. This procedure wraps around the lower love handle and flank area.

An upper body lift will address the lat region and remove the excess skin as well. 

The hard skin is dilation of stretch marks. This is expected to resolve when the swelling decreases.

Tummy tuck and LBL are intimately related and should be done at the same time. As part of our Totoal Body LIft, both of these surgeries are performed together as well as breast lift, upper body lift, medial thigh lift, and buttocks augmentation. Thus you are not overdoing it with a breast lift, TT, and LBL.

You will infact have lots of sagging skin that will drape following significant weight-loss. This will then have to be removed with a post-bariatric body lift that may include procedures such as a tummy tuck, upper body lift, lower body lift.
