Excess skin postop

Hi sleevers,

I'm new to the site. Surgery on July 22. I'm 26, 5'2", 243# and I'm worried about how my skin will do with weight loss and my boobs. Will anybody in their 20's be willing to share their experience? Thanks

Hey ladies I'm also new here .. I'm a beauty advisor and we have had great reviews on the Nivea q10 firming lotion so I hope it works for you. I just went to my seminar . I don't know when my surgery date will be but after I have it I will defiantly be using Nivea q10 !! Hope it works for ya !! Good luck ;)

Thanks! That gives me hope! Walgreens had it on sale BOGO so I have plenty and will use it everyday!

One more question......what about hair loss? My hair is already baby thin and I can't really afford to lose any hair!!! I'm just few days out before surgery on Monday but I have started biotin. I tried to take fish oil too but it is giving my crazy reflux. I read that biotin doesn't stop hair loss but I don't know what else to do.

If your hair is going to fall out, it's going to fall out and really in my experience there is nothing that you can do about it. Taking at least 5000 mg of biotin will help with healthy new hair growth but won't prevent it from happening. Nothing will prevent it. It starts around the 3 month mark. Good luck on your surgery!

I'm hoping since we're young our skin will have enough elasticity and will return to "normal"... I've had 3 c-sections so I know where my problme area will be but I'm hoping my back fat, arms and legs will return to normal.

I am wondering the same thing. I turn 30 a week after my surgery( oct 22). I'm already planning for new boobs. I would love a tummy tuck. Two babies in 18 months will make any girl want those. Let hope everything bounces back somewhat :)
