How to deal with loose skin "down there"? Ladies only maybe



Recommended Posts

Was just wondering if there is anyone out there that has saggy, loose, flabby skin on their genitals (pubis) after loosing all the weight. My weight loss is slow going and whatnot, but I am still down over 100lbs. from my highest and am now noticing this. I was ready and expecting the loose saggy skin everywhere else...so I have no idea why I didn;t for this area?!? lol Is there even any exercises to do for this area...it's not like it's muscle under it or anything? Just flab....and is there anyone else out there dealing with this? Am I alone here? LOL

Thanks, Val

Yup, just like dust, fat gets in everywhere.

I doubt that there is any exercise for a sad vulva, but there is reconstructive surgery. The procedure is one of the many miracles that plastic & reconstructive surgeons perform. I've known of a couple of women who went that route after they'd been at goal for a while and were very happy with the results. I don't recall whether either combined the procedure with another or if it's advisable to do so. One reported that her down there looked like the down there of a teenager. Not too shabby, huh?

Per the testimonies of many who've had tummy tucks -- this can get fixed as part of that procedure.

ok, never even thought about it as a part of the plastic surgery add ons :) I already have my surgeon picked out for when the time comes...Thanks everyone! Any clue as to what the procedure is called?

I think it's just a pubis lift.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
