Does anyone else have a large female area that sags and needs lifted prior to weight loss?

I sagged and still do a little. It's gotten better w/weight loss and I'm hoping it won't be an issue. But, when you're 300 lbs like I was there is extra skin everywhere! :ohmy:

Do you mean FUPA, labia, general groin...?

General area..almost as an extension of the stomach..

You mean a monstrous, melting mons...?

Yep!

I'm not too bad so far. My somach, hips, and upper/inner thighs are the worst. The loose skin on my upper thigs makes me look like I have bumpy baby thighs. And when I cross my legs (Indian style) I get folds of empty skin. I have needed about 5 pelvic exams in the last month (I'm knocked up) and it's so embarassing. One of the doctors had to literally hold all my loose skin to the side. I was like -- umm, I can hold that for you...

Now that I have had my TT I can see way down yonder. It looks like a camels foot. There is also vacany where the hair used to be. Kind of looks like I need an upsweep like the balding guys do. Poor little thing, used to be firm and tight-just like its mother.

Lmao!!!!!!!!!

Ha! This thread is hilarious ladies;)

Now I'm getting scared to have my tt - don't know whats down below waiting to see the sunshine!

Are you talking about your pubic mound? I have noticed mine is puffy looking and the hair on top is kind of sparse and more to the sides of the mound. I thought it was my fat that really stetched out my mound and when I loose weight the mound size will shrink and the sides of the mound will be more centered again. Does this make sence to anybody?

I think it's called a mons lift. A lot of women find they need them after large weight losses. I figure I got so much else that's sagging that that would be the last on my list of PS to-do's!

My Plastic surgeon did a lift of that area when she did the tummy tuck...thank goodness, it really needed it! The area is still somewhat puffy and swollen, but from what I've read it will get better with time...I told my friends I had a tummy tuck and a"kitty lift"! LOL! :regular_smile:

"kitty lift"! LOL! :Dancing_wub:

OMG, that gave me a chuckle.

A kitty lift.....:thumbup:

OK so seriously folks. How do they do a kitty lift. Do they just pull up while they pull the tummy skin down? ????

Man! Add that to my list of PS to get later:

Boobs, Tummy, Wings, Thighs, Butt - and now a Kitty Lift!

Hi Paula,

LOL! Glad you like the term,I didn't know how else to describe it! LOL! As to the procedure, yes, I do believe that's just what she did...pulled up the mons area and cut off the excess as she removed the rest of the panni above. My incision is very low, right across the pubic line and 3/4 around to my back. The mons area is also where she positioned the drains and because I had an anchor incision, I have a vertical incision that starts at my breast bone and joins right at that spot as well...I'll tell you, the kitty was "me-OW!-ing"for a couple weeks! LOL! But it will all be worth it! :Dancing_wub: meOW!
