I also recently had breast surgery and am in the recovery phase after surgery. Hope you get good results too. If there's anything new, let us know.

happy wheels

Topic: RE: what are some things I can do hide excess skin before surgery

I love big fleece hoodies because they are soft and don't give me time to think about the discomfort. I'm sure you can look feminine even in shapeless clothes! Put on a soft pastel-colored hoodie with light sneakers, add a bright scarf to the image - and you are unbeatable. By the way, do you have any plans to remove the excess skin? I'm sure that it isn't difficult to find a good clinic. I had a great experience with plastic surgery here https://www.leaplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/asian-rhin oplasty/.

I can appreciate how you feel about the accountable doctor's lack of skill. But everything is fine; just focus on eating healthily and exercising, and I believe you will recover quickly. battling female

Your insurance should cover a LBL at the very least to start . Please do what the previous poster said call your surgeons office, document your rashes and see if they can help.

I bet they can and will ! Please let us know how everything turns out :)

Topic: So I?m Waiting Hungry and Thirsty Hoping for Another Improvement :)

I found out yesterday afternoon that my surgeon had an unexpected cancellation which NEVER happens .
I was four days after my first procedure ( this morning I'm five days post so safely past the danger stage, the intense healing stage - just a little swollen and bruised looking still but pain free and comfortable walking and exercising.

I texted my surgeon on his one day off proposing another surgery and am excitedly waiting to see him this morning not having eaten or drank since last nite in case his operating room and staff can be arranged for this afternoon.

Im REALLY hoping!!!

What we discussed flying back to do next time was a mini upper body lift essentially with a boob lift using my own breast tissue.

I'm an apple shape which means chicken legs and ample excess skin not just through the abdomen and arms but also on the back , bra overhang underarm area and love handles .

Kind of tough to deal with - and all these empty fat cells not only jiggle unattractively but put out hunger causing estrogen hormone and fill up at a moments notice causing endless struggles with regain.

I'm REALLY excited to POSSIBLY not have to wait at least half a year ( more likely a year ) to get this done and if he agrees well I can postpone my plane ticket because I was cautious and purchased insurance

My cats and plants are getting taken care of ... I'll be a few days late starting full time school but that's ok and worth it and I'm just going to pray from now till ten when he comes that he might possibly agree....

Topic: RE: post op panniculectomy

I just had a panniculectomy a few days ago and the binder is a pain and I absolutely hate the drain tubes! I am sleeping in a recliner and can't wait to get back to sleeping in my bed once the drains come out! How long was it before you could sit bent over? I hope that I can stop wearing the binder soon. I am high functioning autistic and can't stand the change to my routine.

Topic: RE: Looking into a lower body lift in Tijuana

Dr. Sauceda definitely IS operating in Monterrey Mexico and is fantastic as always

. He did a LBL on me about seven years ago after I'd successfully kept my weight off about four years and it still looks great .

I had similar issues to yours - lax skin in the thighs some jiggly fat in the knees ... " foof" in the abdomen and love handles ... which were addressed with liposuction and an inner thigh lift and bellybutton repositioning . Though I still need upper body work the results were and remain beautiful. Good luck choosing your surgeon ! ((()))

All you can really do is wear concealing clothing or ignore it. When I want to disguise my dragon wings, I have worn compression long sleeve shirts, but I've given up on that because they are now a part of me. I like thin fitting tanks under my shirts because they smooth and conceal heardle game

Topic: RE: LBL Costs

Hi I see you are in my area MV and wanted to hop in and say while I have not had any reconstructive surgery done I am also looking into it. I am planning on attending the conference in costa mesa this year and was told they do free consultations with a plastic surgeon this might help you to get an idea of cost. I am hoping that is the case for me as I will have to pay for it all out of pocket myself. Best of luck to you.
