This year, I decided I was ready to have an arm lift. I did a lot of research before selecting four Northern California surgeons to consult with. My first appointment was with Dr. Ashley Thorburn at Napa Solano Plastic Surgery. By the end of that consult, I knew Dr. Thorburn was the surgeon for me. She was kind, compassionate, and engaged. Most importantly, she had a tremendous amount of knowledge about my procedure. She was up to date on all the latest methods, and really knew how to sculpt a beautiful arm. She was also (among all my consults) the only surgeon that seemed genuinely excited to help me achieve my aesthetic goals.
My arm lift was exactly two weeks ago, and I’m not exaggerating when I say that the results have exceeded all my expectations. Dr. Thorburn is truly an artist—skillful and meticulous—with a keen eye for beauty and proportion. I arrived for my surgery with saggy upper arms that were totally out of balance for my frame, and left with slender, sculpted ballerina arms that get more amazing by the day.
Surgery can be a daunting proposition, but Dr. Thorburn and Napa Plastic Surgery made the experience utterly seamless. Their office in Vacaville is gorgeous. Every single member of staff I’ve encountered has been unfailingly competent and kind. Bethany and Heather are absolute stars. Even my anesthesiologist, Dr. Bonzani, was fantastic. He really took the time to learn about my pre-existing conditions, and to assuage my anesthesia fears. Every step of the way, I always felt I was in the best and safest hands.
I’m notoriously difficult to please. I honestly didn’t expect to be this happy with my post-surgery results. I was hoping for, at best, a “good” outcome. What I got instead was plastic surgery perfection. I’ll post before and after pics soon. In the meanwhile, I’ve already scheduled a mommy makeover with Dr. Thorburn for early next year. Can’t wait!
