Excess skin for "lightweights"?

I totally have a panus. It's noticeable and impacts the fit of my pants.

I have loose skin on my arms that shows up when my arms are just sitting there. They get wrinkled like a linen suit. My legs are kind of meh but if I had a lower body lift, they'd look great, I think, with no work on them.

I could probably use a boob lift but I'm 56 and most women my age have saggy boobs. I think, if I had some skin tightening for my arms (they'd do it by cutting a slit in the arm pits), it would also help the boobs enough to make me happy with them.

My mons could use some work too but again I think the lower body lift would take care of that.

I have lost a total of 95 so far, I am 55 and 5 foot 3.  As the poster above said, my girls are deflated, I do have a pannus, but actually I had it prior to losing weight., my butt and upper legs are a little droopy, but that can all be covered up with clothing. the girls can be stuffed into a bra.

what really bothers me  is my upper arms.  I probably won't have them done, but i am a little self conscious about them. though wearing the proper clothing does help. I do lift weights and I think they are better than they would be if I didn't. My lower legs are still chubby, but not flabby.

All in all my excess skin is not as bad as I imagined it would be and I can camoflage it pretty easily.

I am not planning on wearing a bikini to the beach anytime soon.

I was 61 when I had RNY and I have some excess skin.  Some tummy, legs, but arms are the worse.  I am not doing surgery because at 64, I'm just not and I look pretty darn good in clothes.  I have become less self consious as time has gone by about all of it.  I still don't wear tank tops out but do wear them to the gym.  I have great muscles these days but they don't take up all the skin.

I'm 60 so loose skin is common for someone my age even without WLS. I have pictures on my home page of my legs and someday's I wonder if they are worse or better.  I guess I am just getting used to them.  I look really tiny in clothes and a good bra takes care of my saggy boobs.  I'm perfectly happy with the new me.....now if someone wanted to pay for me to have surgery I might change my mind.

You on the other hand look a lot younger in your profile picture so you just never know.  I have younger friends who look fantastic.
