Considering Liposuction

[NMJG 1,266]

Chi, I think you are doing well after seeing your pix. We all have some body part that doesn't shrink as fast as we would like. For me, it's my jelly belly. When I was young, I was pear shaped and had thunder thighs. Later in life I became an apple. Patience and go easy on yourself. Time enough down the road for Lipo or plastics.

Hi. As mentioned, I recently had my TT. Here's a link to my thread.

If you scroll down to post number 41 you can see the before and after photo. In the before photo I looked very fat still. In the after, I have visible abs. It was just the excess skin but it totally looked like fat. My point is even if you have Lipo now, with the excess skin left behind you may still not see a drastic improvement. I know that's not very encouraging and I don't mean to be discouraging, but I want you to see my pics so you can see the difference.

I also highly recommend that instead of asking here, go visit a plastic surgeon because he can give you a real accurate assessment....much better than any of us can.

I would hold off on the Lipo. I was actually thinking the same thing, naturally I have big thighs and arms. So I know they are going to be my potential challenges no matter how much I lose. I spoke to a cosmetic consultant, she told me I had to at least be 190 or less. Which makes sense getting lipo isn't a " permanent weight loss" the weight has a strong possibility of coming back if workout regiments and healthy eating habits aren't practiced. Your best bet is to lose as much weight as possible than get the lipo.
