How much skin/fat was removed during your LBL/Tummy Tuck?
Im starting my postop plastic surgery journey. I am having a belt lipectomy and thigh lift/contouring in April. I am curious to know the amounts of fat and skin that you had removed. I have heard numbers from 5lbs all the way to 36lbs!
Also, what size were you pre plastics and then after (maybe 3 months later, after the swelling went down)
Thanks!!

I only lost 85lbs, and had 3lbs of skin and 1 liter of fat. I did have an LBL, BL, arms and inner upper thigh lift.
I was wearing size 9 jeans before surgery and haven't tried them on yet. I'm almost 5 weeks out.

I had RNY in 2005 and have lost about 140 pounds. I had an extended tummy tuck and BR/BL four weeks ago yesterday. I'm 5'9" and before plastics, I weighed 211 & wore a size 16. Most of my excess flab/skin was in my belly - my surgeon removed 8 pounds from my tummy and one pound from each of my breasts. I've been extremely swollen the last couple of days (started back to work this week, plus had a new grandbaby yesterday and have been helping out with his older siblings) but last week, I bought a few new clothes that are size 12.

I am 5 foot 8 and had a total weight loss of about 150 pounds. I had a tummy tuck and 7 pounds was removed. Before my tummy tuck I was wearing between a size 12 and 14. After 3 months and with swelling down I wear a size 10 very comfortably. I also had a dual brachioplasty. One half pound per arm was removed. I will be going in later this year to "complete the cut" around my back and trim my inner thighs.
