00:00Out and proud!
00:02Many can't hide their happiness because of their weight loss.
00:09But some, even if they're thin,
00:11they still have something to hide.
00:14It's like an apron.
00:15Maybe after 8 months of working out with my coach,
00:19it really went down.
00:21Like the boobs area and then the tummy area,
00:24the stomach area,
00:25it really had a flap.
00:27Instant goodbye to excess skin.
00:30You know what that means?
00:34Face scar that never declines.
00:36That's the advantage of makeup content creator Nate Javier
00:40or better known as Ms. Nate.
00:43Hello, it's me, Ms. Nate, your TikTok Makeup Artist.
00:47But aside from her flashy makeup look,
00:49her weight loss became noticeable this year.
00:53I think it's time, before I turn 30,
00:55I want to be healthy.
00:57And then number two is for aesthetic purposes.
01:00I feel that when it comes to social media,
01:05sometimes you look healthier
01:09in terms of both face and body.
01:13Hi guys, welcome to my first ever YouTube video.
01:16From 96 kilos to 86 kilos, achieved!
01:21Even though weight loss is not a big deal,
01:23it's a big boost to Nate's confidence.
01:27The shirt size is what my coach and I rely on.
01:31Because at the same time,
01:32we're building muscles from 3XL to size medium.
01:43First, Nate's face shrunk.
01:46And because this is his focus on social media,
01:49his weight loss became more noticeable.
01:53Today, we have another lipstick reco.
01:55With my current diet, which is low carb,
01:58I still feel full.
01:59I still eat a lot.
02:01But I eat the right kinds of food,
02:03which is mainly protein.
02:05Our carbs and sugars are low,
02:07but the protein, until I'm full,
02:10until I'm happy,
02:11that's the diet I do.
02:16Nate's weight loss secret,
02:17he also shared it online.
02:20And lastly, he eats Blade,
02:22because he deserves it.
02:23That's it for today's vlog.
02:25Thanks for watching.
02:26Bye!
02:28But what his viewers don't know,
02:30he's hiding something.
02:34After 8 months of working out with my coach.
02:39What is it that Nate is hiding?
02:45According to bariatric surgeon,
02:47Dr. Michelle Bernadette Lim Lu,
02:49skin elasticity depends on the patient's age.
02:54For patients in their mid-20s or late-20s,
02:57and their weight loss is high,
03:00their skin elasticity is not the same as before.
03:05We also need to consider
03:07how much weight they lost.
03:12Aside from the makeup look,
03:13it's also a secret reveal.
03:16He's hiding his loose skin around his chest.
03:22After 8 months of working out with my coach,
03:26the boobs area, tummy area,
03:30and stomach area got flatter.
03:35He can hide his pants,
03:37but he's still there.
03:40He's ruining the silhouette of his clothes.
03:42Usually, there's no other cause of skin sagging.
03:45If not, it's just because their skin is too big.
03:50If there's no fat under the skin,
03:56there's no structure that can hold it.
03:58It can happen to women as well.
04:01As I said,
04:03we also need to consider
04:05how much weight they lost
04:07and the age of their weight loss.
04:12As a solution,
04:13Nathe joined the Tommy Talk Procedure
04:16or Abdominoplasty.
04:19It's a cosmetic or reconstructive surgery
04:21that removes loose skin
04:23after massive weight loss.
04:26I really want to get liposuction.
04:28And then, my doctor said,
04:30you don't need liposuction
04:32because it's not really the fat anymore,
04:35but it's more of the skin that's hanging.
04:37She said, you're not fat anymore.
04:39You just need to get rid of the excess skin.
04:41That was the final push for me.
04:45The Tommy Talk Procedure
04:46basically reduces excess skin
04:51so that the body has a better contour
04:54and a better fit of skin.
04:58We can compare it to clothes.
05:02If it's an oversized clothing,
05:05and we're worried about the next size
05:08that we can wear,
05:09we can have it tailored
05:12so that the fit is better
05:14and the skin falls better on the body.
05:17Nathe also had gynecomastia,
05:21which is a reduction of breast tissues
05:23in men's breasts.
05:26A lot of men suffer from it,
05:27where their glands get bigger in their boobs.
05:29So basically, it's like man boobs.
05:31So, my gynecomastia was just mild,
05:34but then, when I lost weight,
05:36it was emphasized more
05:38because it got worse.
05:41Nathe spent more than 15 hours in surgery.
05:45The first week after the surgery,
05:48it was really hard to stand up.
05:52I couldn't lie down or walk straight.
05:55It was painful to go to the bathroom.
05:59Sometimes, blood would come out.
06:02There was even a bag attached to me
06:05where fluids would come out,
06:08like excess blood and whatever fluid
06:11that's coming from the wounds inside of my stomach.
06:16In abdominalplasty,
06:18the muscle tissues are also fixed.
06:21If there are no other complications,
06:23the surgery is straightforward.
06:26What's monitored here is the wound
06:29that doesn't have an infection.
06:31I feel a little bit better
06:32because I can stand up straight.
06:35It's like you have a corset inside of your stomach.
06:39It's really painful.
06:41Even if it's just a scratch,
06:43it's really painful.
06:48It's like the inside of your stomach is cramping.
06:52Because the blood still comes out
06:54from the wound or drain,
06:56the surgeon did a follow-up check-up
06:58with the doctor who performed the surgery.
07:01So that they can investigate
07:03if it's really a fracture
07:05or it's just a scratch from the surgery.
07:08Three days after the surgery,
07:10this is what Nate has been waiting for.
07:13Those three days were the scariest.
07:17Because I felt like I had a lot of bruises,
07:20I couldn't move,
07:21and there was blood on the bandage.
07:24That's when I was relieved.
07:26The surgery was really good.
07:28It was clean.
07:30I felt like I had been frankensteined.
07:33When he opened the wound,
07:35I saw that it was really clean.
07:37Usually, after one week,
07:39the wound will heal.
07:41But the important thing is the healing process inside.
07:45When will the wound heal?
07:47When will the wound heal?
07:49The healing process inside
07:50is when will the wound heal,
07:52when will the tummy tuck
07:57under the skin,
07:58under the skin's surface.
08:00So that would range between around 6 to 8 weeks.
08:04It took three months for Nate to heal his wounds.
08:08Until now, there are still swellings,
08:10there are still parts that are wet if you touch it.
08:13So I'm just waiting for it to heal.
08:16Given clearance to start light walking
08:20and brisk walk first month,
08:23and then the second month,
08:25I tried light exercises.
08:27And then the third month,
08:29I was back to full.
08:30I was able to stretch
08:32and I was comfortable working out.
08:36To this day,
08:37he enjoys a flat tummy
08:39that doesn't worry him too much.
08:42I'm very, very happy
08:44because there's no more apron of skin on my tummy.
08:49In terms of the recovery,
08:53there's nothing I can't do
08:56that I couldn't do before the surgery.
08:59It's okay to work out,
09:01even the intense workouts.
09:05To those who joined this procedure,
09:07the expert reminded us
09:09that this is not a weight loss solution.
09:11Nate received P300,000 for this procedure.
09:16Tummy tuck is just one way
09:19to reduce the excess skin.
09:22So it doesn't affect the patient
09:26in terms of making them thinner.
09:31Many people don't know that it's not a weight loss procedure.
09:35It's more of a skin tightening and contouring procedure.
09:39Excess skin removal.
09:40I recommend that you go to a doctor
09:43who is trustworthy and has experience.
09:47Tummy tuck for Chan is a must!
09:50It's important to have an expert guide
09:52before joining any surgery
09:54to ensure your health.
