kristieshannon 1,668 Posted May 25, 2021 I realized I had never taken an “after” swimsuit photo. I’m so happy with my flat tummy, boobs and arms. Unfortunately now I’m a bit fixated on my thighs and am starting to research thigh lifts. I really wanted to avoid it, but think it will be necessary. The more I lose, the worse they look. Overall I’m thrilled but feel like I’ll need to get that done as my final piece of the WLS journey. 2 2 Kris77, GreenTealael, Sosewsue61 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kris77 1,538 Posted May 26, 2021 You look SOOOO GOOD!! I feel the same way about my legs. Almost wish in hind sight I did the circumferential TT bc it would have lifted my butt and thighs at the same time. I don’t want the inner thigh scar. It’s tough but for now I’m doing nothing. Just going to enjoy my big perky boobs and nice tight flat tummy!! Keep us updated on WhT you decide. I’ll never say never! Who knows I may end up in the future doing it too!! As Greentealael said “once your down the PS rabbit hole” lol 1 GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I probably won’t be able to have any further surgery until 2022 or even 2023, so have plenty of time to research surgeons and also try to just accept my legs the way they are. We’ll see. 1 GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Once your weight settles things may shift and even out (a little bit) so don’t count anything out yet ❤️ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ms.sss 15,714 Posted May 26, 2021 ...Also, don't forget about some exercise to help things firm up a bit (and stay that way-ish). The weeks/months immediately after weight loss phase I thought I was pretty flappy/gaunt/saggy pretty much everywhere. The plastic surgery 6-7 months into maintenance helped alot of course, but I also think the regular exercise I was doing during that time was also a factor. Case in point: my inner thighs were much firmer-looking around 3-4 months into maintenance, but now, after several months of minimal exercise, I am alot flappier there again. Sigh. Although I am about 3-4 lbs less than what I was after plastics 1.5 years ago, so that may also be a factor?? *shrugs* 1 STLoser reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
