Plastic surgery before and after’s - Realself.com



Recommended Posts

I am looking into plastics. I noticed how results are so different for each person. Another unknown outcome after weight loss. Trying to decide on procedures and looking into out of pocket cost.

also, make sure you're looking at lower body lifts on people who've had massive weight loss. Results may be different than those where it's just a simple Tummy Tuck (like someone who's just a bit stretched out from having children). Although even among massive weight loss patients, plastic surgery results can vary...

Oh yes, I am more than a little stretched from giving birth. *smile* I'm a shar pei puppy

I’m glad people have shared their photos. It’s giving me a better idea of what to expect. Once I go in for a consult, I will have a better idea of what needs to be done.

Thank you for the links, @Healthy_life2! It was really interesting to scroll through the pictures to find someone who looks like I do right now and see where plastics could take me!

I have my consult on Friday!!

Going to move forward with Tummy Tuck and arm lift and "side boob". Also having him scope out my inner thighs to see what can be done there.

Judging by the current state of my arms, plastics will probably come into play for me. I’ll be watching your thread closely. Best of luck and excellent job on the weight loss!

Good luck!!! It's another wild journey - I'm going in for round 2 in less than 2 months!

I decided to split my body lift up, so I'll see if I'm glad I did afterwards. If you have any questions about the process or anything I'm here! :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
