amazon 579 Posted January 5, 2015 So when does the "front butt" go away? I've got 30 lbs to go to get to my goal and I swear half of that is my front butt... It really makes fitting clothes/undies difficult. A thong? Forget about it. Just curious if there are others battling the same problem, or those who had this problem did it eventually go w/o plastics? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jacileggs 402 Posted January 5, 2015 I'm assuming your talking about the fat pad in the pubic area. I am 5 lbs from goal and still have quite a large one. I'm thinking maybe liposuction? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi @@jacileggs - I was referring to having a fat lower belly. From the naval down to my bikini line. I think the area you mentioned = mons. That area on me has improved a bit. Hoping for more improvement of course With Lipo, wouldn't you end up with loose skin? Just wondering.... I know I've read of people getting a Tummy Tuck and mons lift at the same time. I've always carried a good portion of my weight around my hips. Now my butt and thighs are disappearing, but the low belly in front is taking it's sweet time.

amazon 579 Posted January 5, 2015 @@amazon Maybe need plastics if it's bad and not going away with exercise. That's what I was thinking. I suppose I'll pursue that after I've reached goal. I have no idea if my insurance covers a pannulectomy. It would help if it did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hdd55146 29 Posted January 5, 2015 Front butt! lol Cracks me up. I knew exactly what you were talking about when I saw it. I'm only at the beginning of the process (surgery was 12/29) and I'm already doing research on the mommy makeover surgery. I mean, I hoping I can reduce my front butt with healthy eating and exercise alone but I'm being realistic too. I've had it for so long! I know it's going to put up a fight when I want it to leave lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My husband has all ready said that if I want plastics later on, he'll find a way. (what a good guy) I didn't go in to this journey worrying about loose skin. I would much rather be healthy and deflated, than obese and diabetic, etc. But when I try on different things, my FB taunts me. Perhaps my new nemesis will help me stay on my program diligently. A daily reminder of sorts. You're a week out from surgery - how are you feeling? I hope everything went with out a hitch! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hdd55146 29 Posted January 5, 2015 @amazon I am feeling pretty good! Thanks for asking. I've been blessed not to have any complications (thus far) or any major difficulties adjusting to this new lifestyle. I hear ya about just wanting to get healthy. That's what it's all about. I can't wait to not huff and puff up stairs anymore. lol Seeing your stats gives me something to look forward to. I can't wait to be in onederland again. It's been way too long! I'm excited to be so close....even if my front butt gets to stay around for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BitterSweet* 835 Posted January 7, 2015 I posted this on another thread ad well, but the mons gets lifted when a Tummy Tuck is done. The surgeon will cut directly above the pubic hair line, and when the tummy incision is approximated, the mons gets lifted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faith41 118 Posted January 8, 2015 I also have a fb I had a c-section 23 years ago and was cut from my navel straight down to my bikini line not to mention I have a apron when I was at goal weight it was still there and when I gained weight all 25 pounds went right to my fb plastics is the only option to remove it.
