Plastics?

Well, I did it today. Went for a consult with a plastic surgeon.

I talked to 2 docs about 2 procedures.

One - you guessed it - a tummy tuck. And two - a little work on the neck and lower jawline.

I think I can afford this in the next year or so, but am VERY VERY interested in what some of your experiences have been with plastics.

Recovery time?
Scarring?
Pain level?
Words of wisdom?

And finally - how do you feel about how you look now? I can't quite imagine getting to a place where I might actually look pretty. Even after the weight loss....I just never have considered myself that way.
