WORTH IT$10,813
Lost 100lbs with lap band had breast lift and arm lift took off 6 in on both arms breast went From DD to lg D as you can see in my pics it was a much needed procedure. I have had lots of complements to how much younger I look. Pain on initial right after surgery was very painful but got better over time.

My after pics are the next day had surgery on July 30 in the early AM it was like a 7 hour procedure and the pics were taken the next morning after the doc took off dressings. I was back to work at 3 weeks out I have an open area under my right breast that is healing well but other than that doing fine.

Is it open because the incision reopened (this sounds dumb but I don't want to assume) and how was that treated? I ask because I had a TT incision reopen and had to pack it so I am always interested how others' are treated. Thank you.

turns out I was very sensitive to oils, so when I tried Bio oil, I had a incision open and start leaking 2 1/2 months after surgery while out of town (the day before I was to board a cruise ship for 14 days) so I ended up going to a urgent care and getting some antibiotics just in case and stopped the Bio Oil and by the time I got home it was all better and now they are completely healed...

A lap band is a band that is placed around the top of the stomach that is adjusted through a port that is attached to the abdominal wall that can be filled with saline and the saline can be removed to help you lose weight it's not permanent but can be if you chose to leave it in there!! Hope this helps!

Wow I just saw your pictures, bless your heart, it looks so painful, would love to see your continued pictures as you heal. I too had the same surgeries arm skin removal, anchor breast lift with implant and a full face and neck lift all done at the same time due to losing 100 lbs also. I too was in horrible pain for weeks, but had no way near the bruising that you had. I wore m compression garments for 8 weeks and I think that helped a lot. I still am not 100% happy with the arms as I feel there is a little bunching at the lower part of the scars on both arms, my PS said it was normal and that it would go away but I'm thinking it may need a little work, if I can figure out how to do so I will post some pictures...

Congratulations! I am so happy for you! Your before and after photos are amazing. Yes, you do look younger! Glad to hear the worst part of the pain is over. Praying that the wound heals soon as these can be stubborn. I can't believe you were back to work so soon. Looking forward to your updates! (Have you seen @jenniferhammond88? She just had her arms and breasts done too...but with implants. You're lucky you didn't need implants!)
