Bra Fitting - Extra Skin

[CTG]

Hi Again,

I just wanted to share my experience and frustration about my recent bra fitting and extra skin. I wanted to see if anyone else is out there that has this problem...

I needed to get some new bras and I was getting really pissed because I couldn't find anything that fit. I'm normally a 36DD and so I had the gal fit me and it turns out I'm a 32DD - which is great news but as I'm in the dressing room and i'm noticing the extra skin in the folds of my armpits (the bra pushes it up and out). I just wanted to scream!

I'm so mad at myself for getting so obese! It seems like even after losing all of this weight and I still have 13ibs to go i'm going to have spend thousands of dollars having skin removed all over my body.

Just so everyone knows - I use weights and I take all of the skin vitamins you can think of but it's just that being 5'1" and super obese will cause extra strecthed skin.

Has anyone done any research on these procedures? If so, can you send me some details? I need to start saving my money....

bummed out!

hey girl !!
i have done some thinking a while back on tummy tucks lipo and etc . i know that the results are awesome and i think that you will be happy . don't blame yourself on the extra skin issue though its how genetic are. i knwo that the surgery only last about 30 min they take off the extra skin and make it tight with the remaining most of the time they will do lipo to if needed. you can also finance and if you smoke they advise you to stop for at least two weeks .but i think in the end you will be happy with your results

Even if you've got 'wings' (what I call mine) now that the bra fits correctly, the bra fitting is probably best anyway. To keep gravity from having a bigger effect, ifyaknowwhatimean.

The only thing I've ever managed to reduce 'them' from is the bentover rows with weights or a row machine in a gym...and even then, whew. Low body fat is the real thing that makes them go away. Like already suggested, there is always surgery. I don't have much faith in skin creams and products - they are topical and there is only so much you can do from the outside in.

Thanks everyone for your replies!

I did have a Tummy Tuck last April and the results are great - i just was hoping that i was done with surgery!

Oh well --- the last step may be under the knife!
