Re: [wholenewyou] Body Lift

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

I never expected to get a response so quickly! Thank you. It's funny that I would think that a bunch of droppy hanging skin is preferable to a scar! I am ...
