After massive weight loss, all parts of the body are affected by excess skin, with some areas more problematic than others. It is uncommon for excess skin problems to be isolated to a single region of the body. Therefore, the reconstructive decision process must be tailored to address everyone’s specific concerns. As such, the surgery and its associated scars is dictated by the issues that need addressing.
Areas of concern that need to be assessed in determining the precise surgical plan include:
Assessing these areas will establish the optimal surgical plan (and associated scars) that will be necessary.
As far as a Buttock Lift is concerned, the scar will be along the upper buttock, along the sides and extend a variable distance along the lower abdominal wall. Of course, if it is combined with an abdominoplasty as part of a belt lipectomy, then it is a circumferential scar within a standard “belt line”.
These issues will be discussed with Dr Dona and a surgical plan created to best address your concerns.
