Did people notice?

I'm wondering how noticeable my tummy tuck and breast lift will be to my friends and coworkers.  I'm a teacher and am having surgery over the summer.  I'm sure I'll be able to tell a big difference under my clothes, but don't know how big a difference it will make when I am dressed.  Should I expect to change clothes sizes and bra sizes afterwards?  I haven't told anyone that I am getting this done.  I'll probably not keep it a secret, but just don't feel the need to broadcast my plans right now.

I am also a teacher and had mine done over summer break. I look exactly the same in clothes pre/post lower body lift/breast lift. No one noticed. My clothes fit a bit better without the skin and shapewear, but I did not go down in size. If you are truly only having skin removed, no one should notice.

Thanks.  Are you still glad you did it?  I have a feeling mine won't be that noticeable when I'm dressed either.  I think I'll feel better about myself though.

Definitely. My stomach looks as good now as when I was in my 20's. Not having to wrestle with shapewear anymore was definitely worth it. Also my self-esteem when being intimate with my bf has returned, which definitely made it worth it (he never wanted me to have plastics because he loved me as-is and was worried about me having surgery- he later admitted for my mental state he realizes it was the right call for me).

I'm doing it because I want to look at myself in the mirror without being shocked.

If you want people to notice(which is not  bad thing) - look into facial, but even then, people might not notice that much.

My experience is a little different than Laura's. While I had a Lower Body Lift front and back, and he only removed skin...all of 4 1/2lbs, (No Lipo) it has made a huge difference in how I look. Everyone does a doubletake. The surgeon said I might not change sizes, but just look better in my clothes. I went from a 12 to an 8-10. Some 8 pants, some 10. Even one pair of 6's. I am 2 1/2 months out and still going down little by little. Yet when I take my measurements it doesn't really seem different.

I just had my breasts done(2 weeks tomorrow), and while they look nice and are probably still swollen, no one is like OMG what did you do to your breasts!?or anything. People are just like, Oh, you look great.

Edited to add: I lost 210lbs with surgery and am down 250+ since my heaviest weight. You may not have as much skin. I am also with you, not that I don't tell people things, but never felt the need to broadcast.

Wow, that's great!  Congratulations on your weight loss and new body!  Thanks for the input.   I'm getting nervous and excited.

I lost over 200 lbs as well and am also looking into plastics, so this is super helpful. Honestly, I didn't want to have to explain to my mostly male, early to mid 20's co-workers that I had this done, so I guess they'll have to assume I was just working out a lot during my days off or assume what they will lol. I just don't want to be talked about as far as them assuming I had plastics but I guess I can't change that. I have a lot of excess skin so I am anticipating that surgery will make a noticeable difference. From what I'm reading, the more excess skin you have the more of a difference you will see. Does that seem to be the case?

The likely won't notice unless you currently wear very tight clothing to work. I lost close to 200 lbs and also work mostly with males. I also dress pretty professional - mostly wrap dresses, and black pants with dressy tops. No one noticed at all, and I also got small implants put in to fill my deflated cups out more.

My surgeon removed roughly 10 lbs of skin and tissue from my body.

I'm still swollen and healing, since my surgery was like 3 weeks ago, but it's definitely not noticeable. I still wear the same clothes, for now. I think the only thing that may become noticeable is if your clothing choices change, down the line, due to newfound confidence. But, that can always be attributed to a style/taste change. :)

It was of you are looking good. Post breast liift wore the same size bra. Pant fit better. Lost 4 1/2 lbs sking from tt pants fit better. Didn't really go down in size. Still had.extra loose skin inner thigh?s stil needed the same size pants and a bet
