Does saggyskin"fill-up" with fat?

I am three years post-op and thinking about plastics...my concern is did I wait to long?  My lowest weight was 152 and I am now at 158. But IFEEL SO MUCH FATTER!  mY SKIN IS NO LONGER SAGGY AND HANGING - I can't believe I miss that look - but is now much firmer (yes, I exercise and aditionally lift weights twice a week) and thicker.  I didn't take any measurements prior to one month ago. I finally took my measurements because I am concerned that it is all in my head - that my skin isn't really  "filling up with fat".  UGH!
No, I am not crazy - just a bit concerned that I may be on the path to regain and I have missed my plastic surgery window of opportunity!

What do you think?

Hey there,
I think it is common to regain a little bit of weight.  We weigh about the same and I can tell you that 5 - 6 pounds does make a difference.  I know I feel  the same way just gaining anything.    I had vein surgery in March and Plastics in April so I haven't worked out on a regular basis, (hopefully next week back to the gym).  But anyway no you haven't missed your window!!  You need to have your weight stable so you don't mess up your surgery by gaining or loosing.  I would say get some consults and see what a PS says!!  Good Luck

Thank you for the encouragement.  I agree that just a couple of pounds really matters now - it is like carrying around a small child even though it is just a few pounds! My brain still thinks that gaining 20 pounds is when I need to get serious - not 4 or 5.  Thanks!

I don't think you've missed your window either.  I don't think saggy skin "fills up with fat".  It might actually be shrinking to fit what you have left.  The skin takes a while to shrink up, the fat comes off much faster.  So that might be what you are experiencing.  Also, a little regain will make a difference now that we are smaller people overall.  Now, if you truly feel you are on the "path to regain", now is the time to but the kabosh on it!  Stop it now before it turns into more.  But a 6 lb regain is not going to make you no longer eligble for plastics.  I say go get some consults!!

I hadn't thought of my skin shrinking!  I think that is soooooooo very likely!  Last year my legs looked like a sharpea dogs skin, stretched out yet without cellulite - this year the stretched out skin is almost smooth but now you can see bits of cellulite.  Makes so much sense!

Yep....I noticed it after having my first kid.  The fat and of course baby were no longer there...but it took the skin many many more months before it shrunk back into something decent!  The skin is just slower than the fat loss!!

I don't think it is ever too late for plastics. Heck women in their 70's and up get it done.
With at TT they can zip it right off with no problems I would think.
If your truly concerned go for a consult, most plastic surgeons offer free consults.
Go for it!

I wish they offered a "FREE trial surgery"! 

LOL that would be awesome! I want a trial boob job!
