Was scrolling through the Tummy tuck subreddit sorted by the top posts and saw literally the most perfect outcomes someone could possibly have and then I saw someone who lost like 50% of their abdomen’s skin. (I’m glad she’s better now though!)
Ik most people don’t have major complications but it feels like such a high risk high reward game 🙃.
I was wondering if December would be the best time to get surgery done? I’m going to be getting a belt lipectomy/tt360.
I’m trying to take two things into consideration:
Time off work: I work a job with a terrible work life balance, taking time off work is a nightmare in itself. The holidays later would help a lot. It’s also just a desk job so would probably be fine 4 weeks post-op.
Possible post-op complications: Doctors offices and stuff would be closed around the holidays, I’m not exactly sure how responsive surgeons would be around the holidays of something happens.
Very Important:
FMC is asking for more and she doesn’t really meant the ‘please’ as stop
MMC has to stop or check in to ask if she wants to stop, none of the ‘I can’t stop’ BS
I’m fine with both HR/CR, no mafia, dark romances, age gaps or RH please!
Edit: sorry for the millions of abbreviations yall
LF = looking for
FMC/MMC = Female/Male Main Character
BS = Bullshit
HR = Historical Romance
CR = Contemporary Romance
RH = Reverse Harem
I’ve lost 85 lbs, I was 180 at my highest. I’m 5’0.
My main concern rn is my thighs. I still have to get my boobs, stomach, and maybe arms done someday. My thighs are actually causing me so much pain rn, they were my biggest insecurity with how they splayed when I was fat and now they splay when I’m sitting down and don’t really match my frame. I also have a lot of loose skin on my inner thighs.
My biggest concern is obviously the scars. My parents are like the scars all the way down to the side of your knees is not a good trade off for the loose skin, but I think it genuinely might be. I have pretty bad Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation because of old acne and mosquito bites so Ik I scar bad in general.
My other thing is that there was such a huge difference in results wherever I looked them up (Instagram/TikTok). The ones of people around my age were ok for the most part, but there were some truly horrendous results in there too 😬. Is it just the surgery in general? Like I assume the incisions don’t heal as well because of the area they’re in.
Also, Ik I’m on the lower end of the BMI scale, but would a surgeon be willing to do liposuction to my thighs? It’s still where I carry most of my fat or at least I think so, it’s difficult to tell which part is skin and which is fat.
I don’t want to blame my parents and ofc, it’s my fault mainly but good god, why was I obese at 6 years old? I randomly saw an old picture of myself today and was literally seething with anger. Usually it’s directed towards myself, but at 6?? I had zero control of anything at the time.
I’m 19 5’0 now, was 180 lbs at my highest and I’m 95 lbs now, but my body is ruined. I’ll never have a semblance of a normal body ever. Grandma Tits, Small bat wings, literally dangling thighs, layer of just ruined skin on my stomach. Ik I made out better than a lot of people do being 19 and everything and look ok in clothes and stuff. I’ll still never look normal for my age without like at least 4 surgeries that idk when I’ll be able to save up for. Maybe in another life, I’d stand a chance.
I’m still looking for surgeons, but i’m still so terrified about the pain.
I’m 19 95 lbs, was 180 lbs, never had kids. For people who only got loose skin removed, no lipo, no muscle repair and just had skin removed, how was the recovery like?
I’m assuming the no muscle repair part takes a bit of the pain away from the equation but that still terrifies me lol.
I’m kind of debating getting one done in the first place because the skin above my belly button is so smooth you can’t even tell that I halved my body weight. But my lower belly has terrible stretch marks and loose skin. I also dance and my belly skin moves a lot when I’m dancing, like in a weird way and you do not want to see me do a plank. I’m not 100% sure I even want to get the surgery in the first place because I’ve seen people still end up with some mild loose skin when they’re not standing like exactly upright and I’m not sure if the surgery is worth that + the scars and pain + $$$$
I’ve been looking at a lot of surgeons in Mumbai, I’m assuming other cities would have similar results, but holy shit?? The results are so fucking bad, I’m not exactly sure what’s causing that. There’s obviously surgeons who have bad results overall, but some have wonderful breast and nose results and still have the worst Tummy tuck results.
Is it because it’s not a very common surgery? Like I assume more people are getting their boobs and noses done than their bellies but omfg I do not want to go to a different country without any family to get surgery done, that sounds terrifying.
Does anyone here have any experience getting a Tummy Tuck done in India, specifically Mumbai?(Maybe even Delhi or other cities, I don’t mind travelling a bit). Or just general recommendations for surgeons?
I’ve heard absolutely the best things about his practice and he’s relatively popular among movie and tv actors in Mumbai.
I absolutely love all of his breast lift/reduction results, but I’m not happy with all of his TT results. I think it might be because the results were on patients with higher BMIs, so there was still fat left but some of them look off. I really liked the examples of women around my BMI on there, but it was the other examples that are making me nervous before my consultation.
Another thing is that he’s famous and experienced, but his Breast Lift prices start at ₹75k (\~$750), that’s about what I paid for a root canal and crown in the same neighborhood where he practices. Other surgeons in the same area quoted me something that would be around $2-3k.
Here’s his website: https://www.drmilandoshi.com/
I can only find Haemorrhoid creams everywhere, the active ingredient is still 5% lidocaine but idk if i want to apply something that says Anorectal cream to my stomach 😞
I think it’d be super helpful to make a list for newbies because phew I’m glad I didn’t order all that stuff from Amazon lol.
I think a shared Google Doc with price ranges and reviews from people from this subreddit would help a lot of people trying to start.
I plan on getting a Breast Lift and while I won’t go get surgery to get my nipples corrected specifically, I figured might as well if someone’s gonna cut my boob open anyway.
Can something be done to make my nipples a little more ‘present’ when they’re not erect? And this is the most important question: would it affect healing or increase my risk of necrosis/other complications?
I’ve talked to my surgeon and we’ve decided on a mini because I don’t have any loose skin in my upper abdomen. I’m 19, 5’0, used to be 180, and currently am 90 lbs (have to gain 10 lbs before my surgery).
A lot of posts here are from people who got a TT post pregnancy so I just wanted to ask if someone who got a mini/full TT with no muscle repair and had paper thin skin (basically very little fat) could share their experiences with how their incisions, scars and post-op stuff looked like.
Most of my surgeon’s examples were of women who had what I’d consider just regular mom bellies pre op with some wrinkling and stretch marks, but the skin was still firm. Or they had lost over 200+ pounds, but they still had some fat. None of these exactly line up with me, so seeing if someone could share their experiences!
Weird but I just noticed that I can pinch like half an inch on the top of my boobs which is definitely a lot more than I can on the rest of my body (more like half a cm on other areas).
I’ve been trying to lose weight for a while now and I’ve lost about 20 over the last year. I’m 160 and 5’0 and I look like I weigh a lot more than 160, ik people are gonna say stuff like weight looks different on different people at different heights, but I’m only comparing myself to other short people. (I even looked at pictures of people with the 5’0 flair). I don’t even know where to start working on that tbh. Any advice would be appreciated. Because looking back, I haven’t ever felt comfortable with the way I looked ever. I was always the bigger girl in the room, even when I was 110 at the same height I’m at rn.
I’ve been trying to lose weight and I have lost some (25 lbs), but I still cannot tell the difference. I was too nervous to ask people around me if they can tell a difference so I told chatGPT what my height is and asked if it could tell what my weight was….I’m 5’0 and 155. Chatgpt said 280.
Idek why I’m trying atp.
Ok Ik it sounds bad, but please hear me out. I’m a college student in the US, but I’m from India and I desperately need a reduction 😭.
I’m a 36H and I’m tired of not being able to run/jump, whatever. I’m going back home in December and I was wondering if I would have enough time + would it be safe to travel back to the US around a month later.
My biggest reason of wanting to get it done back home is that I absolutely cannot imagine going through such a major surgery without my parents around. I also do not have family in the US and I can’t imagine doing post-OP stuff alone.
Also, does anyone have recommendations for surgeons in Mumbai?
They’re pretty low set and already kinda saggy, but I like how they look rn. I’m 160, my goal weight is 110 🙃
Ik I’m gonna miss them. Praying that I have dense breasts.
I started at 181 (Ik my flair says 180 but I just rounded down when setting that). Today, I weighed in at 160 and I still don’t see a difference. I’m pretty short too, so 20 lbs was more than 10% of my body weight. I’m just feeling super discouraged because it’s a looooong road ahead (need to lose about 50 more) and I don’t even feel like I’ve started yet. 🙃
It was pretty slow too so Ik I might have lost and gained that water weight back, has anyone else dealt with this and how did you keep pushing forward?
I started losing weight in such a healthy way, I started out at 5’0 >!180 lbs!< this January and knew I had to make a change. I reached >!160 lbs!< right before May eating >!1200!< cals a day and I was doing so well until someone said something that I don’t wanna share and I’ve been eating >!200!< cals a day since 🙃. I feel fine, take multivitamins and stuff and I’ve lost >!15!< lbs more but omg I just feel terrible? Like I finally thought I was taking care of my health and stuff, cooking at home, exercising and now I’m literally eating >!200!< cals a day and walking 30k steps?? Sorry, I’m just ranting.
I’m 19f, 5’0, SW: 180 lbs, CW: 160 lbs.
GW: 115 lbs
I haven’t seen any difference in my boobs yet, but I can see a difference in my waist and thighs. I’m just super scared of them becoming saggy :(
They’re pretty low set already so I’m just terrified I’d end up with Grandma boobs
