I would love to see how the extended arm lift went for you with such a low cost! I have considered going to mexico myself because the prices cant be beat! I need an over all body lift after losing 8o lbs and wanted the extended arm lift down to past my bra line,lots of loose skin there and live in florida where everyone shows their arms cause it is so hot!

Hello jazabelle, Well im still trying to figure out if its worth it.. i have very thin skin and apparently became sensitive and allergic to certain tapes... as you can see on my update i have burns healing besides the incisions trying to heal since i got a allergic reaction due to the tape... they feel and look like burns... im hopping for better results... just a bit bummed this is happening at this moment... i also had my tummy tuck, lipo, bbl last yr with my same doctor... he is great i just believe im a very bad healer!

Its definitely not what i was hoping for... i just send an email to my surgen and hopping he will get back to me... i hate how they look... i know im still super swollen not to leave out how both my arms are spitting stitches like crazy! But im sort of regretting getting them done. I have strongly have come to the conclusion that I AM A VERY BAD HEALER!

Are you keeping them wrapped? I had my surgery on April 16th and have stayed in ace wraps and now a compression sleeve and I’m healing very well. I hope you get in touch with your surgeon

Oh my word. I hope you are feeling better. Did your PS email you back or did you at least try to call him? Make sure you wrap them up and don’t do anything. Rest your arms… put compression sled on. I hope your feeling better. It’ll be better. Post more pictures on your progress. Keep your spirits up.

Hi 1231kk, Thank you, Yes im keeping them wrapped and dry im doing much better now.. at one point i had my armpit area wide open it was awful... i very much regret getting this procedure done... :/

Thank you so much for ur positive thoughts <3 it means a lot.. these past 5 &1/2 weeks been hell. My PS did get back to me and i had to go drive down to Tijuana Mx. That same weekend to get them check out... they remove the remaining stitches ( stated spitting out stitches at 3weeks+) I very much regret getting this surgery done... Im keeping them wrapped and dry most of the time and started to use my compression garment again (my other one was too tight and made it very uncomfortable when i was swollen) so basically recovering super- slowly:/...

Well my PS did get back to me and i went down to Tijuana Mx. to see him that same week he checked them out and remove remaining stitches (Started spitting out stitches at 2weeks post op) he said unfortunately im that “rare case” that happens not so often to patients that get this procedure done. (SUCKS FOR ME BIG TIME) im really bummed and regret getting it done... he told me it will take 3-4 extra weeks to completely heal but have a even bigger scar than usual... im keeping them dray as much as i can and wrapped up in Ace bandages, & compressed with my surgical garment. I till have a big hole on both arms but look and feel better since my visit.... i will keep updating as i get progress.

I'm so sorry this is happening to you
June 21, 2018
I know im sorry too... i guess its just a well lesson learned... :(

Worse comes to worse you can always get your scar corrected. I would say to do it locally (in the US) if you can.
June 22, 2018
Yes i totally agree maybe in the fute when i get to build enough courage im still very sensitive and bummed about the whole thing :(
June 22, 2018
I hear you - it's a hard thing to go through.

Why is this happening? Are you a smoker by any chance?
