This is a picture I took before I had my Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
Plastic Surgery with Lateral Thigh Lift to remove excess sagging skin
from my midsection (150 lb. weight loss).
This photograph was taken two weeks after my tummy tuck with lateral
thigh lift operation and shows the swelling and uneven incision line
associated with the lateral thigh lift portion of my operation. The
healing was progressing nicely but there was still obvious swelling.
Background: I am a
54 year old man who is 5' - 7 1/2" tall and had attained a weight of
over 300 pounds. Over 2 years of dieting and daily exercise I reduced my
weight to 155lbs (lost
over 150 pound weight loss). This left me with a lot of excess skin
around my belly and midsection. Since I didn't want to live with this
for the rest of my life (See my
"Before" Pictures), I decided to look into a Tummy Tuck operation.
