Who needed a TUMMY TUCK???

So, i'm thinkin that I have like 120 pounds to lose, and all that skin is going to be somewhere...  Everytime i ask other people, they say, "everyone's body is different, since your young...maybe..." BREAK IT DOWN FOR ME...  who needed it????  I need to start saving now! LOL.  Thanks for the honesty, Steph

I have asked that same question to a lot of people and generally gotten the same answer. What I have deciphered through most of whom i have talked to, the advantage of us being younger is that our whole bodies are unlikely to sag. We may not need restorative procedures to our legs, arms, and face, but the boobs, butt, and belly.....are going to need work to look like you imagine you want. Its becuase those are the areas that have stretched out the most and will most likely sag unattractively down the line. Breast lift, no problem shouldnt be too expansive or painful compared to what we have already done. What I am hearing is the best one shot surgery to cure the most common excess skin areas is a procuedure called a panniculectomy. You can read more about it at the following link. Its a lot of info to tkae in. But what your best shot is will be to wait until your weight has been stabalized for at least one year, most good surgeons require this time period. Whne you see them for consult, they will have a better idea after examination what procedures are right for you. These types of surgeons are not just doctors, but artists, and its their opinions I would trust. http://www.yourplasticsurgeryguide.com/tummy-tuck/panniculec tomy.htm

Thank you SO much! I am going to check out that site ASAP! I guess only time will tell, right!?  Thanks for the reply, sorry it took me so long to get back to you!  TTYS, Stephanie

I DO I DO. I have ALOT of stretch marks on my belly and sides... those will never go back to "normal" so I have a little big of sag there and above my belly button as well.. I am proud to say that I am getting a Breast Lift and AUgmentation in 2 weeks!!!! So thrilled

WOW!!! 2 weeks! GO GIRL! I am so excited for you! take care, and let us know how it goes. I am pretty sure that i will get my boobs done along with a tummy tuck, but we'll see. Thats awesome. Thanks for the reply, Stephanie

I will be for sure posting pictures of before and after and the healing process... I am soo excited! I go for my last consult tomorrow with the surgeon.

nice! I cannot wait to see them!!! I am SO excited 4 u!  good luck... let me know when your date is!  Steph

Hey there, I am 22 and have lost 120 pounds ( and I need to loose 20 more ) I would say for me, I for sure need a tummy tuck. I always did carry most of my weight in my stomach so I was totally exspecting this. My legs aren't perfect but I don't mind them, I hate my arms but from what I can see the surgery doesn't have good enough results for me to want to go for it. My butt needs to hit the stairstepper but I don't think it needs surgery, lol. And as for my boobs they need a lift!!! All in all I am planning on a tt and boob lift!

unfortunately, i carry most of my weight in the tummy too. Its funny, cause being fat, i have never been worried about sex, but now that i am gonna have this done, i am kinda worried about being celibate forever! LOL Thats what i am planning on (not the celibate part, LOL), getting a TT and Boob lift/or boob job!  Thanks for the honest reply!  Stephanie

Being younger, I feel, we are more likely to want PS... I just want to be "normal"... shop at "normal" stores, not be embarassed naked and wear a bathing suit with a skirt or cover up at the pool. I started at 288 and am now 183 I have 28 more lbs to goal and DEFINATELY want a TT as well as many other things. My stomach is still very large and its embarassing to me...I look fine in my clothes but feel if somebody saw me naked they would be shocked at the large belly I have still :(
