Plastic Surgery After Weight Loss - some advice please



Recommended Posts

It's getting near the time to consider the next steps in my New Life. After 140 pounds lost and approaching the first major milestone of 250 lbs, the time to consider Plastic Surgery to clean up the sag-bag that is forming just over my beltline.

While getting back into the gym will help to restore my muscle tone and strength, the aesthetics are quite another matter. I am not debating what to do. I am, however, asking about what to anticipate in terms of recovery time and where the scars are going to be (my scars do NOT fade away, so I want to know where my badges of honor will reside).

Thanks in Advance

Are you going to wait until you are at goal for plastics?

The scar is usually just above the pubic area and recovery depends on the person etc etc. I have known people go back to work after a week and some not until 10 weeks or more.

Congrats on the weight loss so far!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
