plastic surgery article

freebird · 04-27-2006, 06:29 AM

I want to thank craig for the article on this site about plastic surgery with pics. i knew i wanted the plastics before i read that and saw the pictures but now i know i will

I was wondering however about the legs. does the skin on the legs end up sagging also.? and if it does is it also able to be dealt with through plastic surgery? the lower part of my leg is pretty much muscle from carrying this weight around but the upper part, my thighs are big and flabby will that extra skin hang down when i lose the flab?
thanks

hi freebird. Wheres the pleastic surgery article? With my plastic surgery just 18 days away I'd love to read more about it. I for one with my weight loss havent suffered too bad with the legs, my arms and tummy are the most affected.

That was a good article. Thanks for sharing Craig. It freaks me out a bit I have to admit. My surgery was 3 weeks and 32 pounds ago and I am already noticing my skin texture seems different and a little dry too. Other than excercise of course anyone have any skin remedies that have worked well for them. You know an ounce of preventionis worth a pound of cure or something like that......

Well pre the op I had a spa membership. I payed for the slimming massage. I noiced my skin became firmer and different specially with the yucky guwi seaweed wrapping massage. Unfortunately, I stopped bcoz of the op and yes I have the same observation about my skin. can't wait until I get the green light from my surgeon to resume the message.
Try it it may help

Hmmmm....this sounds great, Chuppy!! I wonder if we can get these "seaweed massages" here in the states....

Or... do you think I have to come to Kuwait??

Hmmmm....that may be cheaper than plastic surgery...lol.

femme, i think that you probably can find the seaweed wrap/massages there. There are some places here in Canada that do it. I have never tried but it does sound neat. apparently it is great for the skin butthe one thing that i heard about them however is that yes they help you lose a few lbs. but it's just water weight and as soon as you drink you gain it back. don't know if that's true or not though
