I wondered if that might you when I saw it yesterday! You look great!
I wanted to add that I will be 50 in May- so father time is working against me as well....

First- great job with your loss!
I have just recently thought about having abdominoplasty, I have not yet met with a surgeon. I feel my core is strong and will not need a lift, but what do I know? LOL. I am happy with my arms/shoulders and chest and am 3 years out from surgery.
If you go for a consult let us know how you make out. I am seriously contemplating this.

I had a 360-degree body lift (and breast lift). He removed 2.65lbs of skin. When I had my consult with him in July he told me I was 'on the fence' and could have just a tummy tuck or do a full LBL and be happy with either. I lost about another 12lbs after seeing him and that was really when my butt started to need work, so I'm glad that I went with the whole shebang.

Holy !!!!!!
I have been contemplating abdominoplasty. I dont feel I will need any lift.
Did you have skin removal and abdominal lift?

The skin will never go away so you have to decide if you can accept it or if you want to get it removed.
Mentally I had to get mine removed but many people love themselves as-is. I guess I was actually a combination of both. I fixed the parts that bothered me most and learned to love the rest of me as-is. I love my body now.

I think this is a question that only you and your plastic surgeon can answer. Chances are that all the hypertrophy won't fill out your skin completely. But a good plastic surgeon should be able to help you figure that out.
