plastic surgery question?

after i have my thigh lift on the 26th and after a few months go by, say i lost another 10 lbs does the skin on your legs tighten with the weight loss? or will it get loose?

From what I have read from others even losing another 10-20 pounds after plastics, you would not see much of a difference in your results.  Don't quote me on it though.  It's always best to ask your surgeon.  In my experience, I was 199 when I had an lbl and arm lift.  They removed 10 pounds of skin.  I lost another 11 pds afterwards and results did not change.  My abdominal work will need to be done in 2 stages.  The lbl was the first and since all was not removed I will need to go back and have a fleur-de-lis cut done to fini**** off.  But even with that being said, my results didn't change any.  Wasn't worse, wasn't better.  Good luck!

I had only an tummy tuck. Dr. Capella cut off six pounds and I lost a other 14 lbs . Now my TT needs to be revised because I have excess skin owing to the weight loss. That is fine as I have other surgeries planned.

Dr Fisher here.

Good luck on your upcoming surgeries.

To all on the forum. It behooves you to try to reach your post bariatric goal weight prior to body contouring. This will reduce your complication rate and allow your surgeon to be more aggressive and do more procedures in one surgical setting. I routinely do 9 hr surgeries often being able to get your LBL with autoaugmentation of the buttocks, spiral thigh lift, brachioplasty and breast lift/augmentation at one time, thereby reducing your time off work and completing your journey sooner.If your weight is still higher then less can be done in one setting.

Good thing the revision is Nothing like an initial tummy tuck. I just had a revision on Tuesday of last week. Wow what a difference night and freaking day .

Great to here this! It is what Dr. Capella has told me but it is very reassuring to hear it from a patient. Thanks so much!
