It has been a while and I gain weight
I am now having liposuction to my legs and hopefully this will put me back on track
Once this is done I will post a before and after pictures!
I am still going to Dr Rayfield, because I trust him and his work,
The reason I am posting this is to let anyone who is going to do this to make sure they keep in track with your weight.

Areas of my body will always hold more weight then the rest and no matter how I work out , walking spinning, it never goes away. That will always bothers me. But as I have been watching my diet through the years . But because it has been 7 yrs !
I have gain my weight in that area! I am upset with myself!
So I feel to go through all of what I did in the past surgery is a lot and to gain weight again and need those area taken care of again! I feel I should of done a Better job, on my self. This is why I am saying this because to be able to do this again is a gift and if and when I do it I will be damn if I will let myself gain again . Life is hard and i will always be that FAT girl in my head.
All I ever wanted was to have a great legs
I grew up with a pretty face I just wanted the body to go with it. That is not to say I want to be perfect. Perfection in my mind is different, then your definition of perfection! I thank you for saying I look great.

Pat, ever thing is good, I did lose 10 pounds and I think he took off 6 of them with lypo! But I have been walking daily 5miles so that has helped. I want to wait to do the before and after ii will be a month on the 26, all bruising is gone and soreness. But walking is helping a lot because I have incline with the bridge which comes to about 10 flights so it working. Also he did my flank area which is good I do not feel I have a tire anymore lol
So I wish you luck on your journey but if u are close to my Dr Rayfield in linwood I would make an apt. He has an associate dr Feldman and they are both good.

Thanks for sharing... I think I’ve just found my surgeon! So is the discoloration caused by the seam/stitching he put along that line? Your body is just stunning now by the way. You give me hope!

I hope you go to Dr Rayfield! You will be happy you did. As for the.skin, being overweight and losing that weight that part of my skin was dark skin because it was closer to the top and my legs were together being heavy, so when he did the legs he only cut off a little and that skin was hanging so it had noting to do with what he did it was my skin color because I was heavy!

I can asked him to fixed that but right now I just had more lypo on my legs having

Gain 25 pounds, so I will be back on track in losing weight. For me knowing I just had this done is more of a determination to keep going In losing weight. and since I turned 65 in June that was my gift to .

myself.

But please make a consult apt with Dr Rayfield everyone in his office is great and you

HI, Congrats on your procedure going well. I am thinking about having this done too. My concerns are the extra skin above my knees almost more than the sagging skin in my upper thighs. Did this procedure help take care of the wrinkly skin above the knees. Is there anything you wish was a little different or in a different area? THanks so much
User Avatar
September 16, 2015
Well working out my legs at the gym doing spin classes has helped
But you do know if you are a runner, you'll get that sagging skin! I think I have a picture showing my knees they don't have sagging skin! But that is something you should discuss with your doctor before the procedure. And the gym will help. There !The only thing I may have done differently is waited until I got down to the size that I wanted to be; .but i figures the gym will do the rest , I am happy ! . There is skin pigmentation that needs to be taken care of and that's something downline. But dr. Rayfield is great if you live near you should go see him ! I still want to lose 10 more pounds. But I work awfully hard at the gym to keep my legs from getting fatter, but that is my body type that is where I gained my weight that has no reflection at all on Dr Rayfield. So thank you very much it means a lot. Because people judge you for having plastic surgery! And you don't have to be rich to have it!
There is one thing i would of change is the hosp! I used
But that has no reflection on the doctor! Thank you for asking and I wish you luck! Again if you're in the area use my doctor.

Got a question... you said your legs were "dark." I notice the difference in the pics, but it looks like a tan. Or is that a tan? Or why does the skin on your legs appear darker about 6 inches below your groin? Did I misunderstand?
User Avatar
December 24, 2015
So embarrassed to say!! That was the skin the doctor pulled down from between my legs!! As you csn see my thigh were always together being fat!! The bottom of my legs were tan but i do not ware a bathing suite in the summer because of the top of my legs!!
This has no reflection on the doctors work. It was the pigment of my skin !! I guess my legs rubbing together all those years!!
I was heavy and this is why i need to get this taken care of next
For me so i can ware a bathing suite and fell comfortable when i am with a man! I spin everyday at the gym !! I need to get this taken care of to make me feel complete!!!

What can they do for you surgically? I was thinking a good quality bronzer might even things out.

No way.. The can do a V. Incisions
And closes it
I want to cut it out
I do not want to keep paying for the treatment!
My Dr will fixed this for me
User Avatar
December 24, 2015
Thank you for your input but I want to cut out!!! You do not see this And live with it? When I was with someone I felt so embarrassed, and he was great and did not say anything!! But I have no feeling in the in that area!!!
Oh well I said enough
User Avatar

You must be talking about an area I didn't really see.... I think I am just seeing the tan line from your wearing shorts instead of a bathing suit. I can't imagine anyone would cut out that much healthy tissue. It just looks like you wore shorts in the summer and were in the sun a lot so your legs were tan below your shorts bottoms. Because I don't see anything really odd.

About the "numbness" thing, give it some time. I had a tummy tuck in 1992, it was literally a couple of years before sensations were back to normal. I just mean that skin and nerves are finicky things, so don't rush yourself.
User Avatar
December 25, 2015
I never said it was numb!! And rush oh please i know what i am doing i had my legs done in 2012!! He would be cutting the dark tissue that is old skin!!
As for what i do with my body is my business!! You have no right to take apart what i need to get fixed!! Please that is so stupid saying you cannot see the problem!!
And you need to stop right now! Because this is none of your business!! I understand numbness,
I had a tummy tuck , evertyone is different!
Why are you so stuck on what i should or should not do!!
That is really my business!! Please i think this conversation is ending now!!

My doctor would not do any procedures unless it was needed!
My legs i have worked hard on them !! When you weight was 280 and getting down to 230 is hard! Then dieting i losy more weight ! I workout dieted and i got down to 148 that is when he did my legs ! I did this myself the surgery was after the hard work!! I understand what it intails
I have worked in healthcate for over 25 yr!! I believed in
Researching everything before i do it! And that is why i pick my doctor is because of trust in his work and knowing he will make you look so natural afterwords you would of never know i had surgery!! I share my experience because in am so happy that i am at a weight i have never been 134 and so happy that i can look and feel so much better !! Surgery was for getting the extra skin off that was needed!! Ie tummy tuck and legs
I am 60 years old i work out daily at a gym! My legs do look good in pants but the dark skin needs to get done!! For me!
I been 134 pounds for 2 yrs now so that is a far cry from 280

Sorry, I was just trying to sympathize with your lingering discomfort. I think it's amazing what you have done to turn things around for yourself. I do know how that feels, just on a smaller scale. I'm sure you will be able to fine tune things the way you would like them to be, you seem to be very determined and focused. Good for you. And Merry Christmas.
