Upcoming reverse tummy tuck and bra line back lift with lipo of flanks and fat transfer to buttocks

Things are great! My stomach and back look much better. It took quite a while to heal from this surgery (much longer than expected) and I'm still not back in underwrire bras yet but all and all I feel well. One issue I'm still having is the fat pocket in my armpit. I hope up address this soon.

Please see pics as they relate to the last post.

I was very uncomfortable with this unexplained extra skin.

Living in Hawaii and constantly being in a bathing suit has been emotional torture.

I was hesitant about the scars but felt I had to give it a shot.

Hopefully the results are worth it!

Now that you know what a reverse tummy tuck is (and have seen my pictures) it's easy to see how the roll of fat below my bra line and above my belly button could also extend around my back.

My bra line back skin made wearing anything without a jacket extremely embarrassing.

For many years I thought the roll on my upper abdomen and the rolls above and below my bra line were fat. When I spoke with my doctor he said they were not fat but rather skin and could not be lost with diet, exercise, or liposuction.

In order to remove the rolls, they would have to be excised. This would leave scars under my breasts (which wouldn't really be noticeable) and a scar straight across my back (which would prohibit me from wearing any backless clothing). I had to make a decision whether the scars were worth the trade-off of having a smooth belly and a smooth back. I decided to accept the scars and lose the skin rolls.

I will keep you updated on whether this was the right choice.
