OK - Kinda Personal Question
Just about all my excess weight was in my stomach and butt. Then after my stomach got to a certain point, I started kinda like a little "second stomach" down below the first. So it is strategically placed below my waist and above my uhh...well you know.
My question is, can I plan on this thing getting smaller as time goes by?? Or is that gonna be where this "pannis" or "panus" ends up being?
Thanks

Sounds like what they call the mons area. This is taken care of during plastic surgery, but be sure to ask your PS if he does a mons lift along with the tummy tuck some do not.

K, I'm a girl, but my tummy started drooping quite a bit as I lost weight and I had a hard time trying to hide it in clothes... but now that I'm almost where I want to be, the hangover seems to have gotten a bit "flatter" if that could be a description. It's as if it lost some of the fat within it, so although it still hangs there, it's less pronounced and doesn't seem to stick out as far. It is wrinkled and full of stretch marks though! Part of that is definitely from having three babies! What a lovely mental image!
I hope this helps you!

As My surgeon put it
You go from an xxxlarge to xxxlong.
In bra size mostly
I think I am going to start a thread to see if anyone has seen improvement with any certain lotions or creams...
I am sure you look fabulous!!!
And I admire you asking...I am glad we can ask these personal things.

In maintenance... now I'm yo-yoing up and down 10 lbs or so. I'm trying to find out how to stay at a set weight, it's rough.

The great thing about a p.p, when you shift it out of the way, what it was hiding is much longer  Think of it like a turtle coming out of it's shell
