Breast Lift & Thigh Lift

I’m officially one year out from a lower body lift, arm lift, fleur de lis tummy tuck, breast lift & implants, chin lift, and thigh lift. ...and it’s 100% worth every pain, scar, and mental hurdle I faced along the way. When I weighed 250+ pounds 15 years ago, I never thought I would live to wear a bathing suit again in my life. Enter some diet willpower, a newfound love for running & weightlifting, and good old-fashioned plastic surgery, and...here I am in a size 4/6! I’m not quite as small as I was pre-surgery (I gained about 10 pounds during my sedentary recovery), but I don’t need to be as small to hide the extra skin. As a muscular 157 pound woman, I’ve finally learned to be happy with the body God gave me. I struggle everyday to maintain my weight: the desire for sugar has never waned for me, but I’ve learned that through moderation I can enjoy a treat everyday. Losing weight changed my life, and allowing the transformation to come full circle through the plastic surgeries is beyond my wildest dreams. I’m living proof that miracles happen, and there will never be a day that I will not be grateful for the opportunities I’ve been given to reclaim my body and my self worth.

I have severe body dysmorphia which will probably never change. I still see a 250 pound woman when I look in the mirror. But common sense tells me that I should be happy with my results, and I think I can finally accept my body!

Yes, that’s swimwear! First time in 15 years!
