BMI = >34: I appreciate your question, and don't doubt you'd like to improve your body image. Before you proceed with cosmetic surgery, achieving weight reduction with exercise, optimized diet, and healthy lifestyle however seems like the right starting point.

BMI & Surgery: It sounds like you may be a good candidate for a body lift; however, work on bringing down your BMI since that is a surgical risk factor you can control. (https://www.cosmeticsurg.net/blog/2017/06/07/bmi-guidelines-for-tummy-tuck-and-bbl/). Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who can help you determine if a body lift (or other procedure) would help you achieve your goals.
