I had corset trunkplasty in January of 2013. I'm about a month away from being healed. They took all the skin from under my chest down to my pubic line. I will still need some skin off of my back and thighs taken off but I'm pretty happy with the results. I know most get a tummy tuck but after losing 160lbs I needed a bit more help than that surgery called for! I have posted a few to show the difference!

Never heard of that approach! You are healing unbelievably well!!! Congrats!!!

You look fabulous! Congratulations.

Congrats and continued success with your surgery!

Wow wow wow!!! Looks fab!

Congrats! Looks great. I can't wait to do the same.

You are all so sweet!!! Thank you for the positive words!!!!

How is that similar to or different from a lower body lift with anchor incision? Do you have a horizontal incision as well as vertical or only vertical?

I will be getting both horizontal and vertical incisions in my surgery on August 1.

I am cut from under my armpit to the other directly under my breasts. I then have an incision from my right hip down to my left hip and then a line down the middle. They took 6lbs of skin. I'm going back for a lower body lift hopefully soon. This worked for my body. It may not be what another individual needs. It was also $15,000 and its fairly new.

That pic I just posted was a week after surgery. You can see the bruising and how swollen I am but you can see what the incisions look like. No vertical unless under my chest and on my hips! Sorry if its a bit gruesome for anyone.

Thanks! The bulge on your upper thigh, is that from the surgery? Also, how will a lower body lift differ from this?

No the bulge is actually my leg. The surgery Made them swell a bit but its bad. I lost a lot of weight (160lbs on a tony frame) and need to get my legs, lower back and hips lifted so the lower body lift will hopefully solve it.

OK, thanks for the clarification. Will you have all the remaining areas addressed in a single surgery? I am getting:

(1) extended tummy tuck with anchor incision, mons lift, arms, breast lift with implants, thigh lip - all on August 1

(2) back and buttocks lift, medial thigh lift - future surgery to be scheduled

I want to get it all over with as quickly as I can!

It should! My arms aren't bad and due to me being so young my breasts are actually nice. I wouldn't mind filling them in a bit more but it isn't needed. The lower body lift I am looking into should fix everything but who knows! Fingers crossed! Good luck with your surgery! I hope the recovery is quick and not painful!

How painful has the recovery been? I need a total body lift. I have lost 165 lbs and am much older then you so I sag everywhere! I am worried to get started.
