What PS would you (or did you) have first?

No fat transfer! Evidently I had enough tissue, it was just all spread out amongst all that skin. Once he got it all in one spot and wrapped it up in nice tight skin - POW! I got the boobies of a 20-something!

That sounds amazing! What a wonderful result! Crossing my fingers that such a result will be possible for me without implants as well. I'd rather not get them, but something drastic definitely needs to be done to improve the current state of affairs. Sigh. I used to have such a nice bust, too!

I suggest to take a photo of your naked body (no head) and examine to see what bothers you the most. Do it first. You might decide to only have one PS - recoveries are longer and more difficult than WLS.

My recovery from WLS was smooth and swift, and I would never expect recovery from plastic surgery to be as easy, with the possible exception of a BL. In fact, I anticipate recovery from a LBL and from a thigh lift to be quite brutal. Thank you for the suggestion to take a photo first, that may help me to prioritize. Thanks!

I had an LBL done and it covers a lot of things...the tummy, mons, improves thighs.....I also got face lift- not from the top of face but it did lower face and chin. My face was really bothering me....I felt like a shar pei!!

I was going to do the breasts but saw so many of them done I wasn't really that happy with what I saw, didn't want to lose sensations and plus when I gained back some weight, my breasts looked better.

If I could do more now I would do thighs....not sure I would do breast even now and I don't really wear sleeveless so arms not an issues. And there are scars by the way.....and it is hard for the body. I would talk to your doctor but also think about what areas bother you the most.

I honestly felt like I looked liked melted wax....and was so happy to have the work done when I did it.
Best of luck to you on the journey!

PS- I also think that there is a point where you deal with being as healthy as you can be and work on self love and acceptance....are bodies are so important and the freedom from being healthy opens up so much in life....but there will still be hard times and problems and they will not be fixed by surgery or weight loss.

Overall my face is ok though at 65 I would like a little lift! But the awful jowls I had going on have become much less visible over the last 20 pounds or so, and my jawline in general has become less mushy. Though if I look down, especially, I can see there's still room for improvement. Still, a face lift is something I really would like to have. I will definitely have a BL, and have my lower body helped out. I know that there are many things which neither weight loss nor plastics will address, but those things are true for everyone and are simply part of life; some difficulties can be solved while others must be worked on or accepted. But things like excess skin from past obesity, especially when severe, are solveable, thank goodness!

Congratulations and how exciting! I lost over 200 pounds and looked like the incredible melting woman it was really bad! I went to 3 different plastic surgeons before finding the right one. Get several free consults if you can. I ended up having 3 major surgeries 3 months apart. Once you hit goal and you know you are starting plastics, up your protein and work out like crazy. The less body fat the more skin and you will get fabulous results.

Keep us posted

Thank you Kathy! That is great advice!
