Worth It
Spent: $7,500 in mexico

I had saggy skin before my surgery and was so excited about having my tummy tuck and lipo of the waist i also had lipo of my legs and breast implants.

With all the procedures i had done the one that i am not happy with was my tummy tuck and my lipo of the waist. with my tummy tuck they did remove alot of skin but i still have a gut when i sit down and with the lipo of the waist they removed 5 liters of fat but i still have love handles as some people would call them not as much as before but there still some loose skin there.

i was a size 32 33 or a 11 depending on the material of the clothes now i am a 28 29 some times even a 27. My butt lookes bigger and rounder hafter having the lipo so the procedures have pros and cons for me and my leggs look great they look a little bummy on the inner side of my knee but it has gone away some.

had a tummy tuck done in june 2009 and my first couple of weeks i was so flat now my skin looks saggy. i am 24 yrs old with 3 kids i have maintined my weight excersised and i am not understanding what went wrong. i had lipo at the same time the doctor had me have some massages done after the surgery to even out the fat could that have affected me or is it my skin that is just to saggy or could it have been the doctor? so many questions dont no what to think.

i have the similar problem... i had my tummy, my breasts lifted, lipo my flanks, inner & outer thighs... apparently, my tummy didn't get lipo so there's a visible layer of fat underneath my tummy. My flanks didn't disappear - apparently my fat is to stubborn and it's going to take a more aggressive lipo machine. My inner thighs sagged along with my tummy... when i sit down - i can see rolls developing - I actually weighed less before the surgery than after it. I still wear the same size clothes 28-27 (4-6) as before. i somewhat happy with my results and disappointed in the others like my butt lift is horrible - i think he butcher it. I got a quote from him to fix all the things here and there and the quote was about $14,000 more. I originally paid to have all my procedures done the 1st time for about $24,000. My surgery date was June 26, 2009. My scars look horrible too - especially under my breasts & my butt (plus painful on my rear).

over all i'm happy with my results the only thing i dont understand is when i sit i have a gut but when i stand it's flat and on my thighs it was the inner and around my knees i like the out come cause they look thinner but on the inside area it looks like dents on some areas. i love my boobs and the lipo part even though i still have the love handles but where i had fat removed rom my lower back above the butt it made it look rounder and bigger so i'm glad i didnt have any work done to that area after all.
