Things I Want.....

So im almost 4 months out from surgery and almost to my personal goal.

I see my body changing in ways I dont like. I really want a TT, breast lift , my arms done and Brazilian butt lift.

When do you start checking into this?

I am young and have not had children yet, would you wait?

    This is very true! I think I would wait until I have at least 2 children before I get any work done

From what I have read on here most people wait till about a year out before they get surgery so maybe should start to look into plastics in about another 6 months at least...you wnt to be at maintenance first from what I understand...good luck on whatever you chose

i personally plan on waiting until after kids! They change your body completely and I would hate to have had all that work done to have my body change on me again but thats just my personal opinion :) Good luck in whatever you choose and congrats on your weight loss

Our surgeon recommends 1 1/2 years.

I'm 10 months out now and plan to start visiting surgeons at the end of this year (between a year& a yr 1/2 out). I'm wanting breast lift w/ implants & TT first (possibly lower body lift). Then later arms and thighs done. I also don't have children (and don't plan on having any anytime soon- maybe 6-10 years from now). I figured I deserve to look like a "normal" person for the rest of my 20's for sure. lol

Sometime being young has its advantage. The elasticity and collagen in the skin is much better when you are younger. Give it a little time before you decide to have plastic surgery. A lot of your skin might just go back into place with time. A tummy tuck will pull your stomach skin tight and also repair your loose ab muscles. However, a baby needs room to grow, which might stretch your skin again, cause stretch marks and ruin all of that beautiful surgery you have paid so much money for.
