5 Months Post TT

I actually had a lower body lift (which includes TT), breast augmentation and a spiral thigh lift.

My highest weight was over 250, and after having 4 kids my skin's elasticity couldn't keep up. After my sleeve surgery, it took me over a year to hit 140 pounds. I was really big into cardio that first year, but slowly transitioned to heavy weight lifting 5-6 days a week. Even though I was like a size 6/8 by the time I reached goal, my skin hung horribly. My belly button looked like a melted face; my breasts looked like a feeding canine mother's hanging milk outlets; and the muscle mass in my upper thighs wasn't seen for its full potential because of the excess skin there. So, I had the previously mentioned plastics on June 9, 2015. The doctor removed about 2.5 pounds of skin, although the implants countered that "lost" weight. I'm now a size 4/6 or 27 waist. It was tough recovery, but COMPLETELY WORTH IT!!!

I don't have before pics because I refused to take them, but I'll post a pic of the great results of my tummy, 5 months out.

I will be paying $11,000 for augmentation/lift and arms next month.

How exciting for you! Do not freak out post-op with the boobs...they will appear like porn star boobs--a lot bigger than their final size! LOL!!!

The swelling I experienced was mostly gone within 3 months...I think my final result without any additional swelling was around 6 months.

Thanks Avafern....that's good information....any weight loss in the end?
