I had a lower body lift almost 3 months ago. I lost almost 85 lbs naturally prior to surgery and over 10lbs of skin and tissue was removed during surgery. I am very unhappy with the way my stomach looks. I look nice in my compression garments under clothes but I wouldn't dare wear a 2 piece. I am somewhat disappointed because I feel like I still have a lot of loose skin and fat on my abdomen compared to others. Am I just swollen or do I indeed need a revision?
I have always hated the back of my legs and butt. I had a lower body lift. While my surgeon is a total rockstar in regards to the tummy tuck portion, I am still unhappy with the back of my legs. Would additional lipo or a redo of the lift be beneficial? I hate the fat deposits below my butt on the posterior thighs as well as the shape of my butt. Any suggestions would be great! I posted an after picture in my previous post. Here is the before picture. Thanks
3 weeks into my recovery (10/31/16 - surgery) my back incision opened, and since then the scar in that area has widened. I'm happy with my result and I'm using embrace active scar defense, but I just can't see it ever being the same. What is the earliest I can consider a revision (about 2.5-inch segment)? If I have to wait a year I'm considering not studying in the fall. The thought of walking into an orgo lecture and worrying about it opening again is too much (so 6-9 months would be ideal).
I had all these surgeries done years ago after losing 70 lbs. I gained 60 back during a bad relationship. I've lost 1/2 of that & have 1/2 to go to reach my normal weight that I was stable at for years. What I'm concerned about is if it's ok to have these surgeries again even though I haven't had kids but plan to. Can I have touch ups done after I have children or is that stretching my skin too much? I don't want to have to wait because I want kids. Is there a number limit for these surgeries?
I had gastric bypass surgery 16 yrs ago, I then had a lower bodylift w/ breast reconstruction (lift, implants) 3 yrs later. Ive now had 2 kids & gained some of the original 175lbs lost (about 40) Im overall happy with my weight (wouldnt mind weighing 20lbs less but mostly bothered by skin and fat bulges). Wondering what surgeries I need. Do I need lower body again? Breasts revision? Arms & thighs? Perhaps upper-lift? Liposuction? Please advice. Thank you!
Hello, So I had a lower body lift and then four months later I had buttock implants And now considering to have a lower body lift revision Im happy with the implant so far. My question is, do my implants have to be removed during my lower body lift revision ? Im just not happy with my scar but happy with the implants Thank you.
After my lower body lift my saddlebags are far more noticeable and I was left with a significant hip dip on my left side and a moderate hip dip on my right side. I'm hoping to correct the hip dips that weren't there before and get a smoother silhouette. Lost 120 lbs naturally, completed lower body lift, about 6 months out of surgery. Previously had an hourglass shape and really want to get that back. Also had an arm and side of chest lift during LBL surgery.
