Bf/after LBL - Quick Peak! Then removing.

With great reservation I am putting up one month before and after photos. I hope I made them decent enough. I am going to take them down really soon so if you PM me I will send them to you seperately.

I am really pleased with the results. I do not have butt pictures which is by far the greatest change for me but you can tell a little from the side view shot. As you can also tell by my belly button I am still pretty swollen. I am hoping to get more definition in my waist.

Here goes!

WOW !!! Forget about the swelling....you look great !!!

I want to thank you for posting these pictures, I've been trying to figure out what I might look like after a TT and your 'before' picture is a lot like the skin/tummy I'm dealing with. Funny actually, we've lost almost the identical amount of weight !!!

Congrats and thanks again !!!

THanks guys! Its nice to have the positive feedback since it is so scary posting these pictures. I have to admit that so far I am extremely pleased - I can't even believe that is me sometimes. I wish I had some pics comparing my butt though because most of the skin removed was from my behind. I am really lucky - my surgeon did an AMAZING job.

Wow, I'm floored, you look amazing. Your before tummy looks just like mine does now....makes me think again about saving that $20k I was quoted earlier this year for a LBL.

THanks so much for your kind words. It means so much coming from people who totally understand where I am at! I feel like my shape is really sqaure right now which takes adjusting to ... as you can see from the before picture I have always been curvy, even after losing weight. Now as you can see I am almost like a sqaure! I hope my waist will get smaller but even if it doesn't I am thrilled. I'll leave this up for a day or two more and then when I take them down - whoever wants to see me can PM.

I don't think you look square AT ALL! All your curves are just smoothed out now to look fluid and really lovely. Enjoy your new body!

Karen, You look wonderful!!! Look at that flat tummy!!!! Thanks for posting your pix. I need to get hubby to take some when he gets back from his biz trip tomorow.

Again you look great!!!

Hi KarenG, Wow!! Congratulations you look great. Thank you for being brave enough to put your photos on here. I have lost 25 kilos (55lbs) since January and have a very saggy stomach. I now think I might consider a TT when I have lost the rest of my weight. I hope you are feeling wonderful. You should.

Karen, you look great! Thanks for sharing.

She smiles where were you quoted 20k for a LBL I will be having mine for under 6500 in Mexico with a licensed plastic surgeon from the states (overhead is much lower down there). I wouild look into getting another quote. Good luck and KAREN YOU LOOK GREAT I hope I get the same results 3 mths and counting.
