Cosmetic Surgery AFTER weight loss? Your thoughts?

If there is left over skin and sagging skin along with breasts..............then I see no reason why you shouldn't. What freaks me out is when lips, cheeks and eyes get done and everyone that has it done looks the same.

I will be getting it done when I attain and maintain my goal weight for a year.

i've lost 22lbs about all im gonna loose and i still got a flab stomach that was stretched out so bad with having kids...but i still dont feel the need to get a tummy tuck...the way i figure it is...its all gonna turn back to flab when im older anyways...why waste the money?? LOL

The last time I lost weight I had a problem with excess skin. I looked good in clothes, bu it was highly disappointing to put that much effort into losing weight and not being able to take my shirt off. At the time I had to many other financial obligations for surgery to be an option. I think this is one of the major contributions to my depression and eventual weight gain. Referring to an earlier post, I did not lose weight to be healthy, I lost weight to look and feel good. I am doing the work again, but this time surgery is at the top of my short list when I get down where I want to be.

Only if you have the means and you see value in the result.
If I had a glob of skin hanging off, you bet I would!
There'd be nothing to think about. To heck with all that "love your body" sniveling.
CUT IT OUT!
Good Luck

Well with the type of work I do I see a lot of naked women and honestly that made me change my mind about plastic surgery, meaning I will not do it!! I have seen the results after you reach certain age and trust me its not pretty, you look like a map with scars everywhere and once your older everything starts sagging and spreading everywhere, so this women start rethinking about getting same stuff done over again!!! I have learned that we need to appreciate our body for what it is..just think healthy and you will feel even prettier..

I think I've heard too many tales of plastic surgery gone wrong. I am too freaked out to even consider it.

If I had the money I would totally get a tummy tuck to cut off my stretch marks and loose skin!

I got a consult for a tummy tuck a year ago. Was planning to get it when I had maintained for a year. Well, I maintained, but then life got REALLY ****ty and I gained some back. So, losing what I gained (20 lbs to go) and then getting it! I hope to get it done within the year. I'm FOR SURE getting one before I'm 30.
This is how I look at it. I worked hard. SO HARD. And I still hated my stomach when I took my clothes off. I deserve to feel really good about myself, and if taking off extra skin is what it takes, that DOES NOT make me a shallow person.

Going under the knife July 23rd for a circumferential body lift.... after 3 years and losing 310 lbs. There is No Amount of exercise that is going to get rid of this excess skin... Scared to death but looking forward to the outcome....

Good luck with it all. I'm sure you will be pleased with outcome.

If you go to Mexico or a crappy doctor... you'll probably have problems.
If you get 4 tummy tucks or nose jobs... you're probably going to have scars or look like MJ
If you go to a reputable doctor with a great track record and get surgery once to adjust certain things and don't keep going back, you're likely going to have good results and be very happy with them.
I live in Florida and see plastic surgery results all the time, I've seen many many great end products. Usually the bad ones went to some unknown coupon discount doctor, mexico (you'd be surprised how many go there) or have had the operation 3023423 times before.
