Topic : How Plastic Surgery Has Changed My Life

I'd say it has changed my life for the better.  I'm much more confident than I ever was.  I am wearing tank tops for the first time since I was a child.  I wear them all the time now.  But then I had plastic surgery after a gastric bypass so it's a combination of weight loss and surgery to remove excess skin.  I'm having the time of my life.  It's not about dating but having the freedom to just be comfortable in my own skin (albeit altered by a doctor). 

   i would like to do the plastic surgery first take all the fat and then remove the skin hanging down. I  have lost over 50kg i got some skin hanging doen already but the problem is i don't have enought money to do it where can i can get some help.

I had a breast reduction years ago (in my twenties), and a tummy tuck more recently (in my thirties).    

Even with a slight complication with the tummy tuck, which required an additional week off work, I would do it again in an instant. I would support any family member or friend who wanted the same procedures for the same (or similar) reasons.    

For me, both procedures improved my self esteem, and made me more confident about myself and my appearance.    

I had a tummy tuck nearly two years ago.  I wouldn't say it changed my life.  It did what I expected and wanted...give me the flat stomach I had before children.   

I had the surgery because I have worked out for years, after having my children, and I just couldn't get rid of the c-section pouch... or flab.  Would I do it again?  Without question.  I really feel it is one of the best things I have ever done for myself, and undoubtedly, the most selfish.  However, if I only do one selfish thing in my lifetime, I think this isn't a bad thing.   

I don't believe in plastic surgery because a person thinks it will completely change their life.  I really feel anyone doing this should have already exhausted all other options, paying attention to the reasons behind the desire for the change.  It isn't a quick fix.  To maintain the results, you really do have to committ yourself to a lifestyle change.  Having said that, I would encourage anyone contemplating surgery to go for it, if it's for the right reasons.  I have no regrets! 

I'm so glad to hear of your postive result.  My tummy tuck takes place in about 3 weeks.  I also did the exercise thing and still am, lost 45 lbs and am very happy with those results.  I'm looking for more comfort in clothes, especially jeans.  Thanks 

Hi all,  

I just wanted to share my story.  

I always wanted a tummy tuck.  My tummy was disasterous (you'll see pics below). 

ANyway, when I finally got the coarage to researcha tummy tuck, I was quoted an average of $18,000 for the tummy tuc procedure i wanted.  

I was heartbroken.  Wanting this procedure very bad, I decided to look into going south of the border for cosmetic surgery.  

I gound a plastic surgeon in Mexico who agreed to do my procedure for $5000.  He even included full body lipo, and a little fat injections to my belhind.

See why Im so happy?  

Plastic surgery outside the US is not for everyone.  For me it was a safe, and cost-saving alternative to PS in the US.   

If anyone wants to look into this, I did most of my research on www.plasticsurgeryjourneys.com 

If you want to have PS, don't get discouraged because of money, where there is a will there is a way! 

Looking forward to my upcoming surgery......not expecting a miracle......just want my pants to fit around the waist without the "muffin roll".......!!!!
