does a lower body lift include a tummy tuck?



Recommended Posts

If anyone can answer this it would be very helpful. I'm trying to calculate how much money I'll need to save after having my VSG.

I think a lower body lift is like a combo of a: Tummy Tuck, butt lift , and thigh lift. They cut you all the way around and it lifts and tightens everything.

I believe when I finish losing weight, I will need a complete body-off restoration!! (Google it if you don't know what it is) LOL!

I had this procedure 10 plus years ago....(Since I have lost 53 pounds, my hour glass figure is starting to re-emerge :D )

Deb

Circumferential abdominoplasty An circumferential abdominoplasty is an extended abdominoplasty plus a buttock lift. The resulting scar runs all the way around the body, and the operation is also called a Belt Lipectomy or Body Lift. This operation is most appropriate for patients who have undergone massive weight loss.

yep it does -- I just got a Tummy Tuck and breast lift/augmentation -- down here in Paraguay they don't do the lower body lift -- just the tt and breast stuff -- thighs and butt are separate -- I think I'll be doing that in about 6 months. :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
