$5,000
Hi all,
I'm so excited (and terrified) for my tummy tuck (with waist liposuction) coming up in September! I just booked today and put down the $500 deposit with Dr. Ortega at Spectrum Aesthetics. Not in a million years did I think I would fly out of state to get this done, but it's significantly less money than what it would cost to have done in the Seattle area. I'm about 20-25lbs. from my goal weight (ideally 155-160) as of today, but I'm confident I can be there by surgery time since I've been trucking along with my weightloss so far. I lost 120lbs over the last 3 years and after being a size 16-22 (depending on the year) since middle school, this skin just hasn't bounced back. It's not a cute "mommy pouch" that some have. If only it were that! I honestly think the last time I had a flat (or near to) stomach was when I was around 6 years old. Sooo... It's time for me to shine in my prime! I don't want the last couple years of my 20's to pass by without me knowing what my body was supposed to look like all along! (Side note: I'm planning on having a thigh lift, BBL, and BA done down the road as the $$ comes).

Here's another before pic from the side. Any recommendations on the best garments to wear after surgery? And scar creams?

When is your surgery date? Mine is September 26th and I'll be flying from Oregon!! :D
Welcome to the community. Great job with the weight loss, keep up the good work with that and you will hit your goal. If you can get the last bit of weight off your results will be even better.
