Ive been taking Wegovy for a litle more than a year and I've lost more than 60 pounds. It's great, and I'm so happy it worked for me. However, I now have loose skin hanging everywhere (neck, upper arms, stomach, inner thighs, butt, boobs, all of it). I have 20-30 more pounds I'd like to lose, so l'm not ready to schedule yet. But, I'd love to get feedback. I'm most self conscious about the gobble on my neck, the hanging skin on my stomach, and my deflated, drooping breasts. What surgeries would be looking at? How should they be prioritized? What kind of cost am I looking at? How do you choose a practice/ surgeon? Are there cosmetic procedures other than surgery that would be helpful? I have so many questions.... Any advice would be very much appreciated!
I had a belt lipectomy and arm lift done about 6 weeks ago. Now I have what would appear to be these white plastic U shaped things trying to work itself out of my skin. My incisions are healed. These white U shaped pieces are just under the skins surface. I can see them and feel them, if I touch them. What are these white pieces called? Do they dissolve or do I need to have them removed?

42 y/o with history of yo yo dieting and major weight loss, most weight lost about 80lbs. Current weight about 155lbs. I carry a little fat/tissue above my belly button and Im hoping the vertical incision from a FDL can be avoided if I have a Lower Body Lift? Lastly, the last picture is an example of the buttocks shape I would like to get. Is it possible for my buttocks to be contoured like shown it the last picture?
I want my thighs as slim, firm & smooth as possible. Can LBL and thigh lift be combined? Would separate give better results? And why or not? To get best results can thigh lift be vertical, spiral and medial (all together) Will liposuction enhance all the procedures? Would it be included? Q2: I see some LBL scars that are not very symmetrical, is this due to surgeon or patient excess skin? If it's due to the amount of excess skin, looking at my body; should I expect a symmetrical scar line?

Hello. I am 35, 52, 135 pounds. I am very concerned about my skin letely. It feels extremely thin, dry and loose. NI have never been heavier than my current weight and i excercise about two times a week. I am considering bodytite but am afraid that i will loose more dermal fat. My feet and hands are pure bone and cant imagine loosing any more. Is this collagen or elastin loss? Is there a procedure that could tighten skin deep down to the fascia without loosing fat?
Hello, I have loose skin on my upper body and have had a consultation with an experienced, reputable surgeon at a JCI accredited hospital in Bangkok, Thailand. The surgeon has given me various options, one of which is to have a 360 belt tummy tuck, lower back liposuction, male breast reduction, nipple graft, and backlift. These would all be completed in one procedure. I am in my mid forties, have eczema which is controlled with 12.5mg of methotrexate each week, and asthma which is controlled with ventolin. The surgeon's before and after photos were excellent and I trusted that he had my best interests at heart. He estimated that the surgery would take 7 hours to complete. I would like to get a few more opinions on whether all of these procedures are safe to be combined in one operation? P.S. I am an ex smoker who has used a vape since 2020. I stopped using the vape two days ago, to allow myself 4 weeks of not smoking before this potential procedure. Thanks everyone.
Hello, I lost a lot of weight. I am 50 and a little under 100 pounds. I need my butt lifted, my breasts lifted, and my entire abdomen done- I may or may not need a fleur de lis. I do not need inner thighs done, as Ive had that done. I am conflicted if its best to do a lower body lift with a fleur de lis (if needed) which will address abdomen plus butt with my breast lift? Or, get an extended TT and breast lift and then come back for a butt lift later on. I do not want breast implants and I do not have enough body fat for a BBL so I just need it lifted. Best to combine everyone and do a full body lift or break it up?
F32 down 212lbs since October 2021, 157lbs 5'7. I workout doing combat sports and conditioning 12-13 hours a week, no chronic medical conditions. I've been on a weight loss and fitness journey for a while now, and have always thought my goal weight would be 150, but that was arbitrary. I recently got a follow up DEXA scan, and found that my torso is at 21% body fat, with my overall body fat of 26%, which was lower than I thought (my legs, however, are at 32% ). With my body fat lower than I expected, I realize that each additional pound I lose isnt going to contribute meaningfully to an improved appearance. In other words, I keep waiting to look fit but now it seems thats not likely. However, I assume Ill require a lot of procedures, and know that these types of surgeries are often shorter on those with lower body fat. Is there a world where an additional 8lbs lost might result in being able to bundle one more procedure into a surgery? And if so is that a good reason to delay seeking out a consult until Ive lost more weight? Or am I not lean enough for that to make a difference? Ive found the surgeons Im interested in have (understandably) significant fees for a consult, and I dont want to waste a round of consults only for that additional weight to change the game plan/potential possibilities. Thank you for your time!
