5 Months Post TT

[NewSetOfCurves 1,553]

I actually had a lower body lift (which includes TT), breast augmentation and a spiral thigh lift.

My highest weight was over 250, and after having 4 kids my skin's elasticity couldn't keep up. After my sleeve surgery, it took me over a year to hit 140 pounds. I was really big into cardio that first year, but slowly transitioned to heavy weight lifting 5-6 days a week. Even though I was like a size 6/8 by the time I reached goal, my skin hung horribly. My belly button looked like a melted face; my breasts looked like a feeding canine mother's hanging milk outlets; and the muscle mass in my upper thighs wasn't seen for its full potential because of the excess skin there. So, I had the previously mentioned plastics on June 9, 2015. The doctor removed about 2.5 pounds of skin, although the implants countered that "lost" weight. I'm now a size 4/6 or 27 waist. It was tough recovery, but COMPLETELY WORTH IT!!!

I don't have before pics because I refused to take them, but I'll post a pic of the great results of my tummy, 5 months out.

Looking great!! Beautiful tummy!

We have similar stats, and similar issues post weight loss (tummy, inner thighs). Although I can overlook my thighs, I do plan on having my tummy done sometime next year. Hoping my results turn out as great as yours!

I hope you have awesome results @@Babbs! My surgeon specialized in post-massive weight-loss plastic surgery. Dr. Peter Fisher's (from San Antonio) prices were really reasoable (I paid $21k for body lift, Tummy Tuck, augmentation, spiral lift, and leg Lipo, plus flaps in my hips and buttocks--very competitive with Mexico prices). Good luck to you!

That is definitely a great result! Congrats!

Looks fabulous, especially after only 5 months....amazing. You must be so happy! I can't wait to have mine done in Feb. I'm just having a TT; I had a breast reduction done 2.5 years ago and have been thrilled with those results. I have nice 'B' cups, didn't want implants. My TT is 4500 Euro (almost par with the dollar at this point). My hips are fine, my upper legs horrible but probably won't do anything about it. But Jan of 2017 I would like to have my upper arms done, then hopefully I will be done...but you never know...I'm 62 so will probably have to have a face lift! It's like remodeling a house...you're never really done!

Oh my gosh, I laughed so hard with this comment! It is so true! I told my husband that I will probably get a face lift when I update my implants in 10 years. Best of luck to you, @@Queen of Crop!

It's so true! You can completely remodel one room and it looks fabulous, but then you go, OH, well that other room looks worse now! Or one time, we had a little flood in our bathroom, the insurance said they would pay for a new floor; and I thought, well, as long as we're going to get a new floor, might as well replace that old vanity, but then the tub looked so outdated, so might as well get a new one, but then I thought, wouldn't it be great if we just knocked the wall out and put in a new window and extend the bathroom so it's much larger? So our 'free' floor cost us about $15,000! But I loved it when it was done...we used to call that 'feature creep!' But now we're remodeling US!!!!!

Great tummy! Your hard work really has paid off.

[AvaFern 3,516]

Woohoo, nice stomach! I completely agree with you..the TT is a fabulous surgery to have. I check out my new stomach probably everyday in the mirror and it's been over 14 months since my surgery.

[VSG for ALC 6]

Your stomach looks incredible. I can't even see any scars from your weight loss surgery. Did they manage to remove your surgical scars from the weight loss surgery as well or did I just miss them in the pic?

[NewSetOfCurves 1,553]

Thank you, @@VSG for ALC! My lower scar--which was the larger one--was removed with TT, and the others are so small and light that they are not even visible unless you are literally looking really up-close-and-personal!

@@AvaFern,

How long did you deal with swelling? I especially swell up after workouts and I have not targeted specific core exercises (even though they get hit up with other exercises) due to the swelling. My doctor told me to wait 3 months to target core, but I am waiting for month 6. Did you experience swelling up to your first year? Or did it end sooner than that?

[Queen of Crop 1,103]

Sorry to be so stupid...but what is ALC???

Great results and Great price! I will be paying $11,000 for augmentation/lift and arms next month.
