My sx date with Dra Almonte is 03/08/17, and I'm super excited about it. I'm getting Full Lipo + BBL. But I have one lil concern; saggy skin after Lipo. Did anyone on here had experienced that after their procedure?....Please let me know. And if you did, how did you fix it?....(I'm NOT having a tt!)

Hello Fabulous! Do you have children? I've read MANY reviews on ppl who have saggy skin and after lipo it remains that way. I've also seen maybe one or two women who've only had lipo and were satisfied w their results. Also if u have stretch marks they will most likely remain. I am scheduled for Apr 4 and must get a tt bc I only plan on doing this once. I've had big babies and 3 sections and have a little extra skin hanging that won't be able to get fixed w lipo. Looking forward to following your journey! Wishing you the best!!! Keep us updated please :)

Hi MrsTee! Thank you for reading and taking the time to reply...I don't have any kids. I've lost a lot of weight (from 260 down to 178) and so far I've been pretty lucky. No loose skin, no stretch marks. But now I'm worried that after the lipo my skin will sag. And I'm not interest in getting a tummy tuck. I'd rather go back in the gym, work my butt off and tone up.
Again, thank you!

Oh I agree with you then. I wouldn't get a tuck at all at this time especially if you want to have kids in the future. You don't have stretch marks and u have great skin I think u will be just fine! I've def seen fab results on ppl who only had lipo. Just be sure to wear your garments and everything will be snatched and beautiful!! :) I look forward to your sexy results!

I've seen a few pictures of people who only had lipo as well, and they look great. But the thing is, they were smaller. So I know my results might be different. But I'm sure Dr Almonte will do a great job with me...I'm so excited, I can't wait! Oh, I'll definitely be sharing my sexy results so stay tuned :)...And thank you dear for the tip on the garment. I'll be wearing it 24/7 Lol

hi there, I had the sx with almonte too and i didnt want tt either, she suggested to me when she saw me in person but i insisted i didnt want the scar. i think it was like 500 bucks more if i added tt. It wasnt the money for me, but i didnt want the scar and also didnt have enough recovery time to stay so i had to come back. Ended up just like you said doing the lipo and bbl. Overall im pleased with the results, i might do round 2 but not sure...my skin is a bit loose on the tummy so im having second thoughts like maybe i should have done the tt and would have been so tight and skin hanging at all. sometimes its hard to tone the stomack skin no matter how much you work out. So, just wanted to give you my opinion. Think about it. If you dont want to return there again for round 2, might as well consider it...:) take care doll

Hi doll! Thanks for your input. I really don't wanna have a tummy tuck, and for the same reason, I don't want a scar on my stomach. And second reason, I don't have any kids. So doing it now before I pop some kids would be a waste of money. Did you use a lipo board/foam with your garment after your sx? Some doctors mentioned that it does help retracting the skin after Lipo...I'm only planing on doing this once, lol. So hopefully I get the results that I want so I won't have to go for a second round

I need to decide as well. Pls keep us updated on what you choose. I heard my home was good. Haven't really heard anything about the others. I thought the paperwork said they place us wherever there's room available. I hope they're all good quality.
