I had my appointment today to set up an appointment for my BL/BA and we talked about my concerns that I had concerning the loose skin.  He said I still have swelling and he also talked about how everybody's skin texture is different.  Being over weight for all those years and then losing so much weight takes a toll on the skin.  I understand alot more after talking to him and going over everything and I am content with it all.  He will be doing lipo on my stomach while he performs my BL/BA.  Going for silicone and 400 cc and he said that should take me to a D cup.

 Lipo will give you more loose skin unless he cuts it out after the Lipo or is he doing Laser lipo that tightens the skin as it melts n takes out the fat.
I know that Lipo will give u loose skin because my PS told me it would and it did but  then I had it tightened again
Good Luck

Susan is absolutely right.  Lipo will make things worse if it's the loose skin that is concerning you.  You could have swelling for up to 6 months from your TT.   Will it be 6 months by the time you do your BL/BA?  I would think he would prefer to wait on Lipo until the swelling subsides and you are able to see the true results.  I had Lipo on my thighs and the skin was really really loose after that.  It debulked them, but I had to have the extended thigh lift.
