realize that every situation is different, but I am wondering if anyone has had surgery who has been a similar height and weight who has needed (or has not needed skin removal surgery a year or two after surgery)

I am 300 pounds and about 5'10! / I am also relatively young and I think I have that on my side in terms of skin elasticity and stuff.

thanks in advance!

No way to predict it, but when I was younger i lost 85 pounds and the excess skin wasn't bad.

I am late 40s, lost over 150 and definately benefited from plastics!

I think the area that may be of biggest concern is your tummy. I had a TT many years ago when I had lost weight, so I was younger but the droopy belly does not go away.

I am 5'9" and weighed 310. I am 31 and now 170ish. (plus or minus 4 pounds). I need quite a bit of plastics. I went from a full DD to a small (sad) C lol. Sagging tummy skin, and inner thighs. But then you see people who lost more and didn't even exercise and need minimal to none. Genetics maybe? LOL.

I am 5-10 and started at 315 and am now 188 and wear a 12 pant and L top. I have a stretched out saggy tummy but it looks flat wearing clothes and does not hang over. Would love TT but that ain't happening since no money. I also had 4 large babies so that caused a lot of stretching not just the weight. My inner thighs are sagging as well as under my chin a bit. My boobs are now 36 L as I long. But my biggest pet peeve are my arms. I carried a lot of weight there and my batwings are enormous. I can cover the tummy and thighs even in the summer and look fine. And my chin not all that bad. But my arena just hang out there with short sleeve weather. I have built muscle but skin just lost it's elasticity (I am 48). If I could get one area done it would be arms. I have to wear a size 14 suit jacket to 12 pants just because my arms so big and would be tight in the arm pit area we all my skin.

From your picture your arms look in pretty good shape. As I said the other areas can get saggy but it depends on how long you carried the weight an luck. At least other areas can be covered,
