Reconstructive surgery - skin removal

Does anyone have any before and after pics of having skin removed? Can you do arms, thighs and tummy at the same time? What have you done for the saggy skin under your chin?

This is my year to have the skin removed ( later near Fall) but need input. What should I look for in a surgeon and what type of questions do I ask?

Almost down 130 lbs ! 20 lbs from my first goal of 190 !!!

Bought my first tanning package this week. Enjoying this smaller size :D

I am getting a tummy tuck, next year. (Boobs too!)

I was advised by my surgeon and plastic surgeon to wait a year at goal weight. I have 13 pounds to go. Also unless your arms are really bad I wouldn't advise. Every person/photo I have seen of a skin removal on the arms the scars have looked 10x as bad as the arm skin ever did.

Good on you!

I agree. Plastics isn't a magic wand. Even the finest of scaring for a tummy tuck can be extensive. It's a fine line between managing what skin v scars you can live with. I think getting your tummy and boobs done and not worrying about your arms and legs can be a good compromise. You don't want to look like you've been attacked by a shark! :D

Or a croc (well, I am an Aussie)

Thing is we'll probably never be picture perfect with our gear off. We have to have some war wounds for our past sins. Being happy in your skin is the main thing. I don't mind having a bit of lose skin under my arms to remind me what a great job I've done at losing weight ;)
