Hi there. I’ve had a LBL and although I can’t say for sure, the lipo will likely not have much effect on the extra skin. It will only take the day under the skin. If you have skin hanging then that will need to come off. Best to have some consults. Good luck.

Thank you. I’m still getting no where with his office. They did send me my OR report which shows, from what I can see, they did not do any lipo on abdomen and flanks as was part of the procedure. They have yet to comment on that! Spoke with a couple law offices and all said it would be hard to fight. But one actually took some interest and asked to see photos. Spoke with them for 30 minutes on Thursday and they will be reviewing everything and getting back to me. Such a frustrating position to be in

I was at my goal. And was told my a plastic surgeon not to lose any more weight or my skin issues would just get worse!

Hi there, I had a lower body lift in August last year and although I am happy to not have the apron of skin anymore, the surgeon promised a much better job then performed. Anyone have experience dealing with either trying to get a revision or seeking legal advise, or even suing?? I have handfuls of skin left over and a deformed bum. I have went to other surgeons who all day I need a new TT or even a whole new LBL!! Surgeon Dr Kara, Whitby Ontario - do not go there!! - said he can redo the Fleur TT for another $6000!! I already paid him $17,500. I told them that is not acceptable and they will need to provide another option. They were going to get back to me today. I have a free consult with a personal injury lawyer on Thursday. Any tips or help in this area will be much appreciated.

I just started losing after a small gain from the holidays (10lbs, down 5 now). Back to basics. Cut out the treats, logging food again and a little more exercise (I don’t exercise very much). I’m 1.5 years out from RYN. Good luck.

Congrats! You look awesome and younger! Also, love your tattoo!

Haha, ya that doesn’t make sense!! RYN Oct 2016 and LBL was aug 2017

Thank you everyone!

Hello, just turned 40 on the weekend and wanted to share some pics. Feeling great and within 5lbs from goal!! Never felt better and so happy to have been blessed with this RYN and the plastics that I’ve had done. I’m currently in the process of doing research for the second round of plastics!!

I went down two pant sizes. They took off 15lbs of skin/tissue. But I’ve only ‘lost’ 5-10lbs on the scale. It was 10 but came up after Christmas. Everything fits the same still, but trying to get those 5 back off now. I was a 16-18 before surgery and now a 12-14.

I considered it as soon as a reached my goal weight and knew that is where I wanted to be, just minus the skin. Some websites have pricing listed, but remember surgeons will give a better rate combining surgeries. Best way to know is to have a consult - but speaking from experience, having the consult makes you want to do it!

Ya, they say it can take up to a year!

It was hard! But totally worth it. I’m 6 months out from that and the incision on my butt/back is still numb and tingly and I think still a little swollen! I will need a revision for some additional skin left at the top of my stomach but otherwise....totally worth it!

I’ll be 40 in 12 days!! Thank you everyone!! Life is awesome! I feel better then I did in my 20’s! For me the key has been to be realistic about goals and honest about what is possible. For me, this is a place I can still enjoy/love food and love myself!! No struggle and no deprivation. The surgery has helped in so many ways!!! Before I would have to work my ASS off to lose weight and maintaining was a fairy tale. Not anymore!!

Wow! Thank you for sharing and sorry to hear about the gas, but an easy trade!!
