Patients are considered good candidates for body contouring procedures (lipo and abdominoplasty) if they are healthy, have realistic expectations and are at a stable weight.
If you have to struggle to maintain your weight, you will fail. Better to be at a sustainable weight and allow your plastic surgeon to maximize your outcome.
Results need to be viewed thought the spectrum of time. Be honest about your expectations and let your plastic surgeon work their magic. You certainly should get a very good result. (Peter D. Geldner, MD, Chicago Plastic Surgeon)
You have done an excellent job of losing weight and done it the right way. It’s not easy! In losing such massive amounts of weight it is recommended that your weight be stable for six months before having surgery.
If it has been that long and you are healthy then I think you are a reasonable candidate for an extended abdominoplasty with liposuctioning of your hips.
The important thing is that your weight is stable and you will continue to enjoy the results of all your hard work and the investment you are about to make in the surgery and its recovery for a long while.
Living in England I believe you do not have the equivalent of the American Board of Medical Specialties, but choose your surgeon carefully.
The Royal College of Surgeons must have guidelines for this and I would start there. (Lori H. Saltz, MD, San Diego Plastic Surgeon)
If you weight has stabilized, I think that a tummy tuck with lipo of the love handles or extended tummy tuck over that area would give you a nice result.
If you are continuing to lose weight and plan on over 15 pounds, then you may want to consider waiting slightly longer. (Rick Rosen, MD, Norwalk Plastic Surgeon)
