Tummy Tuck as a result of liposuction

[kkruz77]

Has anyone had or know of anyone going as far as having a tummy tuck or thigh lift as a result of liposuction causing noticably changed, thin and stretchy skin?

I'm looking for advice and help. I'm more insecure about my body then I ever have been. I dont have kids and I am in my ealry 30's. I want to have kids eventually, not anytime soon and going this route will leave a noticable scar.

I'm weighing the pros/cons and welcome any advice/support

I'm not sure I understand your question-are you talking about someone getting a tummy tuck/thigh lift due to loose skin caused by liposuction?

I haven't any experience with liposuction but I do have loose skin so I'm doing a lot of research about body lifts these days. The best information sources I've found are the bulletin boards at Make Me Heal and Realself.com. I'd suggest Googling either one of them if that's what you're looking for.

Sorry if I wasnt clear - I tend to jump a lot. Yes, thats exactly what I'm saying.
I have alot of loose skin from liposuction. The last resort is to get a skin lift by means of a tummy tuck and thigh lift. My concern is that because I am still in my child bearing years and havent had kids yet (or will for a while) that this may be a bad idea for now.

Thank you for the site suggestion as well:-)

Have your kids, then your surgery. I can't think of any ethical PS that would endorse otherwise-at best it would undo your results and at worst might actually irreparably damage the skin. Btw, Real.self and MMH also have functions that allow you to post questions to PS online.
