First of all, Congratulations on your weight loss, have you had
bariatric surgery?
Iwas advised by Dr. Revis to be within 20 pounds of my ideal weight
before proceeding with my nips and tucks. That's exactly what I did,
you'd be suprised how much excess skin can be removed and lifted! You
certainly don't want to do it too soon and have to have everything
lifted and tucked again, then your looking at double the money and
chances of infection, more down time etc...It's worth waiting for! Just
keep doing what you doing, get your weight down as close as 20 lbs from
your ideal weight, and then go for it! You deserve it!
Keep us posted! Barb
