I had this done after losing about 150 pounds. The recovery was easy, compared to the other plastic surgery I had done at the same time, and I'm pleased with the results. The scar is tucked away in my armpit, thus no obstacle to wearing sleeveless tops. There's also less underarm odor and much less shaving to do (must have lost some sweat and hair glands; happy on both counts). As young as you are, getting rid of that saggy skin could be an important boost to your self esteem, and you've certainly earned it. Go for it, and good luck.
