I wanted to have more slender arms. All my life I have had big arms regardless of my weight...so, I wanted a more slender look, and wanted to get rid of flabby skin, from weight loss.

I am not happy with the incision location. It was my understanding that the incision would be going from the armpit area, and downward to my elbow. The scar is not where I thought it would be and it is clearly visible when my arms are to my side. Again, not at all what was discussed in the doctor's office. Now I have irreparable, permenant scars on the back of my arms and will not be able to wear all the clothes i was looking forward to wearing...I have a lot of swelling everywhere. The swelling will go down eventually in one or two weeks. I like the more slender appearance, but the scar is totally not where I thought it would be...

Great review?

Still disappointed. I have bumps all along my sutures, and a very large endentation on one of the arms. The scares are extremely asymetrical. I think someone else other than the doctor I chose performed the surgery or someone else might have been there 'to train'. Can a doctor do this without consent?
