WORTH IT$4,500
After loosing 20 lbs after second pregnancy and especially lipo on my back area, my back looks very bulgy & uneven caused by loose skin. I had a full TT done in 2011 with lipo and now I am ready to have this procedure done to make my body look proportioned. I hate it that I still have to worry about which types of shirts to wear after having a TT done because of my back ! I do aerobics but there has been no affect on the back area.

Has anyone gone through this procedure ?
FarzNovember 25, 2013
Well I have been looking online but seems there are not too many people I can find that went through this procedure. Anyone out there that would like to share their experience and results ?? I am really interested to know about how you did afterwards i.e. being able to walk normally, extending your arms to lift things, back to work, etc. and how you feel about the scar. My doctor says two weeks off work is good. I work in an office. I also do filing so not sure I will be able at that point. Question is if two weeks WILL REALLY BE enough time ?! So all these things are running through my mind even though I trust my doctor, but sometimes it helps to talk to people that actually went through it too ! My preop is December 13th. . . yikes. . . Friday LOL !!

Hey there congrats on your surgery!!! I am afraid I might have the same problem because I lost a lot of weight. What exactly are you getting done?? I will be following you.

I am getting just the skin removed. Its also called a bra lift or back lift I guess. Its hard to explain but the doc said he's not going to make an incision all the way across the mid back but just on the sides where the excess skin is. I was also thinking about asking the doc to extend my tummy tuck scar just a little because I do have a excess skin there too (luv handles). I'll ask him when I see him on Dec 13th.

Do the incisions go up the sides of your torso or do they go across your back where the bra strap would be? I have some excess flesh on my back and I hope my surgeon can get rid of it.

My incision looks like (looking at how he placed the tape/gauze) is exactly where the skin hangs so going towards the side too. I was a bit surprised on the day of the procedure when he was marking me that he was doing it this way, because when we talked about it preop, I understood it was going to be across where the bra band sits. But to me, it doesnt matter so much. I dont wear a bikini that often !
