Hi William,
There is definite scarring. From what I've encountered first hand, seen on other people, and looked at in before and after pictures it seems like everyone has a different experience depending on a lot of different variables. Seven weeks ago I had a circumfrential abdominoplasty, and the scarring, which there definitely is...is so totally worth it. I now have a flat stomach...something that i've never experienced in my whole entire life! After bariatric surgery i just had an enormous amount of fat and skin left over. The scar is completely covered up in a pair of bikini underwear...which I would have never worn before the surgery!!!
Talk to you soo! Christy

Hi:
I had bariatric surgery in July of 2004. I weighed 284 lbs at a
height
of 5' 9" and have lost 100 pounds since then. I have a considerable
amount of droopy skin and am considering plastic surgery to remedy
that. However, I consulted with one plastic surgeon and was not
impressed with the post-operative scars. Can anyone share their
experience with scarring following abdominoplasty or lower body lift?
Thanks,
William
