Panni then tummy tuck?

[chantalen 2]

Has anyone gotten a panni and then got a Tummy Tuck afterwards?? I ask because I'm 5 months out and have already lost over 100lbs and I have alot of hanging skin, it's causing rashes and getting in the way. I want a tummy tuck when I'm done loosing all the weight but I've been wondering if a panni would be something I should look into at this point to kinda hold over until I loose the rest... This excess skin is really annoying and I feel like its kinda holding me back in a way... Any advice/tips would be great thanks

I've been doing a lot of research into plastics these days - generally you want to be at goal and have been thee for at least 3 months for skin surgery. I would suggest Shapewear in the meantime - I've noticed that the skin continues to really change and shape up in many areas as you continue to lose. You look young from your avatar photo - that is an even bigger bonus, you have much better chances of some of that skin snapping back after time. Generally, if you have 60+ lbs to lose - you can expect that skin surgery will improve your contours. if you are looking at hundreds of lbs (my real deal goal puts me at close to 200 down - lets talk about flappy skin galore lol) - the best option is LBL - lower body lift or belt lipectomy - cut all the way around and pull your lower half up like a pair of pantyhose - sounds like the worst healing pain imaginable but I will gladly endure it to get rid of the scary flabby skin between belly button and top of my knees. Someday - I am working on getting the last of the weight off and increasing muscle mass under the fat.

Real Self is a great site to learn about plastics and see snapshots - sorry about the underline - I cannot edit my posts unless I write them in a word processing program and then paste - ugh.http://www.realself.com/
