Dr. Ellsworth performed my brachioplasty about 2 yrs ago (my reward after 100 lb weight loss). I am so happy that I had this procedure done. Dr. Ellsworth has a great bedside manner and his staff was so helpful perioperatively. I was a very needy patient yet they were always available to answer my calls and/or e-mails. I would highly recommend Dr. Ellsworth. One teeny tiny observation - I am not super thrilled with the incision placement as my scars are partially visible with my arms resting but a small price to pay and not anything that would deter me from going through with this procedure again.
I am 65 years old with 2 DVT"S and a PE earlier. Dr. Ellsworth is a true artist. He removed 25 pounds of skin, and it has been a life changing experience. It feels so wonderful to not have the skin. I have 3 open spots but they are healing on there own time. I plan on having an arm lift and breast lift after I fully heal. He is a wonderful surgeon.
I am a 38 DDD I have had a large chest since 12 years old but they grew and grew each child I had them stretched out like rubber boobs. They are heavy and I do have back issues. Lots of sleep less nights and a pain to find shirts! Ready for this never had surgery but I swear I'm happy! Count down! Updated on 24 Apr 2015: laying here with butterflies.

I woke up to someone saying how do u feel o can give u pain meds and I was groggy! And didn't really feel to much pain. But I have a bruise on my shoulder the size of a dime and looks like a bruise in one pic the size of a base ball on my left breast! Only thing I feel now is burning sensation around the incisions I think they glued me I don't no if he stitched they didn't say and I was to drunk to ask lol.
Swelling after your Kybella treatment is normal and expected. The swelling can last for 1-2 weeks and varies depending on the patient. The swelling is a good sign and means that the treatment is working.
