Tummy Tuck Photos - Graphic - not for weak stomach

[Ronnie]

Ok, folks, I wanted to share my skin removal surgeries, as many folks have been interested in results. I am posting the before after a 175 lb weight loss. The deflated balloon look. Then of course the after. I am still very swollen, but healing nicely. I had what is called the "anchor cut" in an extended tummy tuck. Extended goes a bit further to the back hip. I still have many more skin removal surgeries to go, but this was by far my worse area, so I started here. My surgeon was Dr. Marco Rodas Nava and he and his crew were fantastic at the LIMARP facility in TJ, Mexico. I am scheduled to go back in March for the arms and breasts. I knew I would have to have skin removal surgeries after the sleeve. I lost a football player, so I can't expect to "snap back". I am still on my journey of a total body transformation.

Oh my goodness. It looks good. I will need this done too but I am so scared of infection. My friend had this done and she had to go to a nursing home for a few weeks because she got an infections and needed more wound care than her family could give her. When did you have it done and how has the pain been

Sign me up, I will be doing this as well after my sleeve. You are looking wonderful and I applaud you for showing the pictures. They are very helpful for those of us starting this journey.

wow that is incredible, Way to go you! It is sad to think we lose all this weight to be rewarded with lose flabby skin. I am petrified of pain and feel like I dodged a bullet with the sleeve because the pain was minimal but I know plastic surgery is painful so praying when my time comes I will be able to overcome my fears and get a tummy tuck, breast lift and arm lift. I will most defiantly have to go to Mexico so thank you for painting a nice picture for me good luck on your healing!

You look great! It's great not having all that skin hanging around any more!

[vegasneon]

Wow! Thanks for sharing. How hard is the recovery, like getting up and down from sitting and laying?
How long did you stay in TJ?

Thank you for sharing. It looks painful and awful and beautiful and triumphant! More than that, it looks a lot more manageable. Cool.

Looking great so far. What a relief it will be not to have the apron I'm sure. Thrilled for you, congratulations.
