I have never really thought seriously about getting surgery after my weight-loss for sagging skin until now. I hate what I see when I look in the mirror. Don't get me wrong, the skin is much better than the fat that used to be in it. And, I am actually impressed by how much it has shrunk up already. I was wondering how long I should give my body to completely adjust and firm up after I am done losing weight before I decide whether or not to have surgery.
Also, have any of y'all had a tummy tuck or breast lift? I have heard that the tuck can be pretty crazy recuperation wise, but that so many people are SO glad they had it. Also, I am planning on getting pregnant in a few years. Is that something I shouldn't even think about doing until after I give birth? It seems like it could be very counter productive to get it done, have a baby and be left with sagging skin again. Also, with a breast lift, are the scars really bad on most lifts? I had huge 40 DDD breasts that have now shrunk and deflated a ton. I am not sure what size they are now but they have definitely lost all of their pep now
. I looked through a few galleries and wasn't too happy about how the surgery can leave your nipples looking really weird and can leave huge scars.
I would greatly appreciate any input from people who have had these kinds of surgeries. What are the pros, what are the cons. Can a tummy tuck really take a few sizes off of you? What are the realistic costs involved with this? Also, would you do it again if you had the choice? And, is this something I should wait to pursue until after I give birth in a few years?
Thanks!
