Diet, exercise!: Once you have lost as much weight as is healthy, then you are ready for plastic surgery. Plastic surgery, whether it be tummy tuck or liposuction or lower body lift, is not for weight loss. Gastric bypass or lap band procedures can help a morbidly obese individual lose weight, but this is not only surgery but a major and permanent commitment. No magic here, just hard work and motivation.
