Omg!! 6 more days to go

I can't believe the time is almost here! I feel like I've been waiting for so long and it's in 6 days. I went to my pre op with Dr Durham-Smith last week and he was so pleased with my progress. I got down to under my goal weight and now he isn't even planning on doing lipo on my hips. Just playing the waiting game. Not nervous yet but I'm sure it will happen soon

Changing to a fleur de lis tummy tuck along with the arm lift
Wow.. Haven't been on here in awhile. I've done a lot of research and finally picked a dr. After speaking with him, we decided on the fleur de lis tummy tuck. It made sense and I am super excited. My surgery is scheduled for March 17th. I'm sure the time is going to creep by but I have lots to keep me busy. Other great news... I lost the rest of my weight and am now at a perfect weight for surgery

Congratulations on your weight loss and decision to have body contouring surgery! I see you are having a FDL Tummy Tuck, I know there are not too many photos so I just wanted to comment. I too lost a great deal of weight ( about 100 lbs), so I had a Lower Body Lift with a fleur-de-lis incision, and a second surgery arm and breast lift 3 months later. If you have extreme laxity in your abdomen, especially above the umbulicus, the fleur de lis is a very effective technique to remove the maximum amount of skin and accentuate a tiny waist!! Best of luck on your journey!!

Thank you so much for commenting. It is hard to find a lot of info. I have laxity above the umbulicus and the dr said a FDL is the best way to go. I worry about the scars but figure if I'm going to do it, better do it right

The scar really fades nicely, in fact I barely notice it all... It was really a no brainer between the scar and the loose skin!!!!!! I am just really happy you found a PS who utilizes this method.. I know you will be thrilled with your contours!
