Skin removal surgery

[victoriaciminelli111 43]

Has anyone had plastic surgery to remove excess skin?

[victoriaciminelli111 43]

What was it like? Do you have scars? Pain?

[kristieshannon 1,623]

Yes, I did in January. I had a Tummy Tuck, breast lift & augmentation and an arm lift. There was some pain post op, but only the first few days were rough. Yes, I have scars. They’ll fade over time and I’d take them any day over the loose flappy skin.

I'm so looking forward to this skin removal surgery. May I ask you how much weight you lost? I'm down 238 pounds

I have my first tummy-tuck consult on Monday. 😀

[kristieshannon 1,623]

I’m down 134, from 286 to 152.

Tummy Tuck, Breast Lift and Arm Lift for me in Dec 2019.

Yep, I have scars, and yep, I was hurting.

Still one of the best things I've done, though 😎

YAY!!!

yes - I have scars. And yes - it was painful. Manageable, but painful. Definitely more painful than RNY, at least for me. But it was worth it and I'd do it again.

I'm hoping to have this surgery for sure. I need it. The drs look at me all the time and say "wow I can tell you've lost alot of weight. There's so much skin"

I can't take narcotics so for me it's about finding. A pain Man plan for post op.

We're they separate surgeries or all at once?

[victoriaciminelli111 43]

I ask because my surgeon wants to do five separate surgeries two on my stomach one on my legs one on my arms and one of my breasts
