Daily Post--7/27/08

We've got a plastic surgery theme going!! Now that you are losing or have lost the weight what part of your body do you dislike and which part do you like, and what will be the first part to get plastic surgey on if you can get it?

I'm happy with the way my face and chin turned out. Not much saggy skin or wrinkles. I also like my shoulders and collar bone. Notice that all the good stuff is at the top of my body. Everything seems to have gone south. My breasts are pointing to my toes, which they can't see because of all the skin flopping around at my abdomen, and my arms just want to take flight. So in order of importance, I would have: lower body lift and arms breast lift and nipple reduction (probably not augmentation although I definitely could use one) inner thigh lift (this is last on the list only because I understand that it's the most painful of all the procedures) But then where to stop - because I'd also like to take care of my hammer toes, get my teeth professionally whitened, have laser hair removal and removal of age spots on my face and hands. Oh the possibilities. . . .

I'm still early out... but I can already tell that I am gonna need my panni removed (which I knew) and if I had money, next up would be my inner thighs, batwings, and breasts. *sigh*

If the body I'm looking at today were the body I am to have when I am a year at goal weight, I would be looking at abdominoplasty and mastopexy. My arms could use some help too, but I've seen the scars people have from that, and I don't think the trade off is there for me.

I actually like my shoulders now. When I look in the mirror and see that I have actual shoulders and I don't look like a football player in padding I think they make me look more feminine now. I dislike my sagging under arms...I get rashes and wear 3/4 sleeves all the time cause I had the way they look. I am also not too thrilled with my thighs and stomach but at least those can be sucked in with my jeans - LOL..so the arms are the worst offender. I don't even think about plastics cause I know I can't afford it.

Batwings and possibly boobs - both are pretty saggy - at least I can wear a supportive bra, but clothing doesn't fit right - need to always get bigger sizes for arms/boobs and shirts are always too baggy around the middle - thankfully I had sewing classes and know how to alter somewhat - would like to go smaller in both areas... I would love to go sleeveless and not think that everyone is looking/commenting on my upper arms.

Bat wings and the girls......love my legs though!

I am happy with pretty much all of me, but I am having sort of a love affair with my legs! Considering wearing skirts when school starts back up for the first time in YEARS. Tummy is the only part I am considering getting rid of---I think my pants size might go from an 18 to a 14 or smaller if it was gone and I think I lean forward when I walk due to the panni!!! I think it's gotta go! Karen

I am totally embarrassed by my abdomen and my thighs. It's very flabby and hangs down. I will have it removed as soon as I hit my goal weight if I EVER get there!

My thighs will be the first and possibly the only part I get done, it all depends on the cost. I can live with everything else, but just can't deal with the backs of my thighs.
