Thanks a lot for your answer.

Yes, the skin doesn't look pretty. However, I hold the opinion that my eyes have to look at lots of bodies I don't deem pretty as well. So if one doesn't like to look - look away (includes myself, lol).

Nah, seriously... I'm obviously a really big chicken when it comes plastics. I didn't hesitate when my first WLS was due. It was all crystal clear. It was a necessity and when I looked at my other surgeries the moment I deemed them as an absolute necessity I didn't hesitate as well. Though it admittedly took a while before I deemed them "a necessity".

I guess I'm just scaredy cat.

i didn't have that fear.

I just had plastics 11 days ago. I'm already impressed!. I had lower body lift -abdominoplasty ( I didn't need muscle tightening) panniculectomy, mons plasty (yes, they even lift the pubic area!) butt lift with fat transfer to butt, and brachioplasty. The arms are more uncomfortable than the lower body but the pain has been very well controlled after the first 2 days. I wish I could of gotten my drains out at my first post op appointment but did not. I have 4 in the lower body, none in the arms. I wasn't afraid to have plastics because to me it was just kind of continuing the process of my lifestyle change. My next stage will be Breast lift and back and my third stage will be inner thigh lift with fat transfer to breasts. I didn't use insurance. All they would of paid for was the panniculectomy and I didn't want to jump through all their hoops to get approved. I just wanted it done "now." I was originally scheduled for May 5 but got delayed because of covid.
