Guest guest Posted October 20, 2002 Report Share Posted October 20, 2002 Hi , I have to tell you - I have a theory - once your skin is shot - it is probably shot forever. I had a beautiful tummy tuck. However 18 mos later I do have some loose skin on my upper belly and just below my scar (kind of on the front of my hip bones. I am a size 12 or 14 - I can't compare to everyone else as I have a huge butt and can't afford to have it taken care of at this time. This leaves me with a size 10 tummy and a size 14 butt! Average it out to a 12. I am 39 and can't get caught up in all of this - I am now a Normie - you wouldn't recognize me from the back (you used to be able to pick me out in a crowd from the back!). I feel good and people say I look great. Good luck to you. Marjie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2002 Report Share Posted October 21, 2002 My best advice is to find a good plastic surgeon and go for a consult. As far as waiting, he could advise you better based on actually seeing you. It's not a bad idea to go meet a doc. Ask to see before and after pics of former patients. You will probably want to do this with several docs before you decide. I think the pictures really tell the tale as far as results and long term scarring. ===== judy in austin __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
