I am having an anchor cut TT on June 5 with Dr Shastri here in Buffalo. I'm terrified that I am not going to be happy with my results. I feel like I have a lot of fat behind the skin still.  I have been at the same weight for a while now and I'm within 10# of a normal BMI so I don't know realistically how much more weight I could lose. Did everyone just have a lot of skin removed? I had 3 consults and everyone said how great it would look afterwards, but I feel like there is too much fat there still.

 I also had fat pockets behind the skin (above & below belly button) that I couldn't seem to get rid of. I'd lose weight from everywhere else but this wouldn't budge. I was about 15 lbs from goal.  When I finally went in for my consult with my plastic surgeon, he told me that I may never be able to get rid of it without surgery. Some people have fat trapped in pockets behind the skin.  So, while I was still a little skeptical, I had an anchor cut  LBL 6 weeks ago and I still cannot believe the results! He told me that he actually removed 15 lbs of skin with fat  and 3 liters of fat that he lipoed from my back. I was amazed. I now have a small waist with no fat which I can never remember ever having even when I was 125 lbs as a teenager. I always carried in my waist. I look like a different person. I am so pleased with my results. Go ahead and have your surgery. Your surgeon will make you look good. Mine did! Good Luck!

A lot of that fat is removed with the skin and a good surgeon can do some amazing sculpting with lipo. Make sure you ask him if he plans to do lipo as well.

When I had my LBL the surgeon removed 17 or 18lbs of skin and fat (I think there are pics on my profile if you aren't squeemish).  It is amazing what they can do.  I am sure you will be happy with your results.  Good luck!
