Not as far as I’ve been able to find out. If you are relatively young, if the excess weight is a relatively “recent” development, if you’ve never had babies, these things will all help. Also, the skin will “tighten up” some on its own, over time. But anyone who loses significant amounts of weight will, inevitably (AFAIK) end up with skin issues.

I had botox injected in my balls a year or so ago (they were all wrinkled). I posted about it here. I’d linky-link, but I’m posting from my phone and haven’t figured out how to copy and paste. Maybe some enterprising doper would be kind enough to dig up my thread and post a link. Or not. Either way, my balls are smooth and shiny.

How can I make my pubes grow longer?

I like to think that I’ve got everything I had when I was 18, it’s just given in to gravity.
Yes, but it has to be a real corset! Bustiers don’t come down far enough on the tummy, leaving you with. . .well, whatever would be the “hanging down” equivalent of “muffin top”. :eek: My problem with corsets is I can’t find any freakin’ long-sleeved ones to cover the “bat wings”. 
Truly, though, there’s a plethora of lingerie that will hide a lot of flaws, and if you’re to that point with a guy, anyway, he shouldn’t care!

Nope. Neither of those. I’ll try to find it when I get to the office. Thanks, tho.

Here it is. It was actually two years ago. My how time does fly.
Winston, am beginning to see a pattern of anatomical fixation.

Well, it does help keep your watch from slipping.
In all seriousness, I’ve told myself that if i lose the forty pounds i want to lose by november (for my sister’s wedding), I will treat my self to mesotherapy (sp?) which is a different sort of liposuction, where they inject “something” to dissolve away the fat that is expelled in your wastes. All my life, even at my skinniest (wedding day), I have had a pooch belly that no matter of diet, exercise, bulimia, crunches or anything could alleviate. I need that sucker GONE in order to live my life to the fullest.
I need to lose 50-100 pounds (depending on whether I want to just be a bit healthier or in really good shape. Most of my weight is in my belly, ass and thighs. At my age I don’t know how stretchy my skin is, so I suspect I may end up with flappy skin. Fortunately, it’ll be in places not overly visible when I’m dressed, so no one will ever see it.
I wouldn’t mind taking the easy way out and going with liposuction, but realistically I know that if I do I’ll just out it all back on unless I change my eating habits. As a friend puts it, don’t think of it as “dieting” but as a lifestyle change.

Well, as for me, I’m not looking “traveled”, I’m looking like I’ve lost 140lbs. In other words, my body is now a size 16, but my skin is still a size 32. I will be having a tummy tuck done whenever my weight decides to stabilize (every time I think it has, I drop another five pounds out of nowhere). I’ll also petition my insurance company to pay to have my “bat wings” and thighs fixed; they probably won’t, but they might, you never know. Then, whatever plastics they won’t pay for (and I know they’re not gonna spring for a face lift and breast lift and augmentation), I’ll have done out of country where I can afford it!
In other words, no, I don’t need “a little work” done, I need a lot of work done!

You need to learn to play the “insurance game”. For the breasts - talk to your doctor about the shoulder, neck and back pain - even if you dont have any! It really sucks when your boobs end up saggy and nothing but extra skin after losing weight. And really sucks when you cant find a bra that truely fits - I have to get the molded cups otherwise I just dont look right.
for the thighs - complain about the rashes , especially when exercising. Explain how your skin pinches and how uncomfortable it is to do things (like riding a bicycle). Same thing with your “wings”. Make sure you emphasize how the extra skin is always getting pinched when you do x and y (especially when you are indicating exercising, this seems to get the insurance to take notice that you are changing your lifestyle and focusing on being healthy).
Unfortunately for me, I wasnt able to get mine done before losing my job (due to a work related injury). So, off to Mexico for mine, and hopefully soon.

I’m not sure if you’re talking to me or not, but I wouldn’t get the mesotherapy until AFTER I’d lost the weight i want to lose. This pooch belly has been there since I was eighteen, through massive weight fluctuations, it doesn’t reduce, just gets flabbier and more or less pronounced. It is really a psychological block for me, because even when I weigh a perfectly healthy weight, I have to buy pants two sizes bigger to fit this belly. Skirts, dresses, all have to be baggy, even when I have thin legs and hips and arms and all that. I’m pretty sure it’s all my pent up rage.

Bless your pea pickin’ heart. Could it be a semi humorous way of asking whether people on the board are considering plastic surgery? No nonononono, never that. :rolleyes:
[/QUOTE]
I had absolutely NO IDEA that’s what the OP was asking.
But no, I like the look of aging naturally. It’s much more dignified than looking plasticized.
[QUOTE=fatgail]
Oh come on. A little tuck here and there? You’d be a regular Jim Nabors!
If I had the money, there are many many horrible problems I’d try to rectify. Post childbirth knee shooters, tummy tuck, a little jowl work…but it’s all just a pipe dream.

Those tips about the thighs and arms might just work. I was going to petition my insurance company to pay for them, anyway, but you’ve given me ammunition!
As for the back/neck pain, I don’t think anyone stupid enough to buy that could get a job, even with an insurance company! I started out a little less than a C cup and am now less than a B cup. Plus I need (well, want) augmentation, which my insurance is not going to cover.
Well, yes, thanks. I am planning on a boobectomy sometime this year. I am sick and tired of carrying all that extra weight and I have marks on my shoulders that will never go away.

a boobECTOMY or a reduction? I mean, how about a nice b cup? Man I’d love to have these swingers tightened up.
Aiming for a b cup.
