Hi all,

I have a total of 70 pounds to lose, and once I lose these last 35, I am wondering if my tummy "AKA--Butt in the Front" will be sagging. If so, I am not convinced that I have the energy or finances to go under the knife again. My mom suggested a new laser type procedure that she used on her thighs. (Of course, she is a size 8 and always has been...) So I was wondering if any of you have thought about something like this? Has anyone had a consultation/procedure?

Many thanks for your input,

Amy

I'm having this done on my arms. I've heard really good things and done a lot of research. If it's not too much loose skin it works great to tighten things up. I can let you know how it works on my bat wings in 3 months.

I've lost 135 lbs, so my "front butt" is a bit much for the lasers according to the consultant. She said it would help, but I wouldn't get the results I would want from it. She did not even recommend trying it. I would need surgery to get the best results... I greatly appreciated her honesty!

What is the name of this type of procedure? I'd like to learn more.

Trudyjo,I'd recommend googling cosmetic surgery in your area. I looked up "Cool Sculpting" Where they freeze fat cells in target areas to help reduce fat. The before/after pictures aren't dramatic--you have to maintaining a normal weight--but the changes are noticeable. There are also other means of tightening loose skin if I am actually able to eliminate the fat on my gut some day. (Yeah, right!)

Snochick, I'd love to see how it goes!

There are several types of these new treatments. I tried it and wasn't too impressed, but then I didn't do 8 treatments, either, which they recommend. Fairly pricey. I'm going for surgery when I can.
