So Unhappy and Frustrated with Arm Lift Results

$7,500
It’s been a dream of mine for last 25+ yrs to have my batwings removed. I inherited them from grandmother! My family lent me money and I had brachio and lipo in May. Had 3 consults and really trusted this doc felt my suffering of wearing long shirts over half my life. He showed me what my arms are gonna look like and told me I would be wearing sleevless tops again by end of July. I did everything I was supposed to do. A month later there was no more swelling and my skin was just hanging again and almost looked worse under scars. His response
Was oh yeah but at least they are better than where you were at. That we can revisit in 6 months maybe so more lipo and maybe I can try to lift weights. I am so angry and havent slept. I cannot wear t-shirts and nevermind sleeveless tops. This would have been my first summer feeling good about myself and not sweating from long shirts. Very disappointed. Especially after he said any issues after is included in total price. Now he’s saying lipo will not cost as much. I feel like I was brushed off at last appt. I really trusted him. I can’t even sleep at night because of this. My arms are still so flabby and hanging. One pic before pic of both arms and a few of arms now. I feel as though he should be responsible to make it right and get results that were told I would get. My GP was even appalled when I showed her!

Yeah what the f? Your arm is still large. What the hell was he doing!? Sorry girl. He seems useless
Thanks and I know! It’s awful and I said the exact same thing What the F!! Now I just have huge arms with scars!
He needs to re-do them. This is not the results you paid for. It may be too soon to tell and you might still have some swelling though, it's only been a month. Maybe wait one more month and then let him know how unhappy you are. I'm sorry you're disappointed. I would be too.
I agree. Although its almost two months and they are just flabby and hanging. He just told me we could revisit in six months and I would have to pay for lipo and maybe try to lift weights. I have an appointment in cple weeks to discuss further because I am so frustrated.
I feel your pain and frustration, I'm 6 months post op arm lift and mine have stretched back out like before I got surgery. He could have removed way more skin. I'm in the same boat as you, I cry when I look at my rms because this was a dream of mine as well. My scar looks horrible too. So now I have to go back and have them re done and honestly I'm terrified. Good luck to you, I'll be following you to see how you're doing :-)
I am so sorry you are going through this as well! Are you going to the same doctor? Are they covering any costs? Or are you going to different doc - if you don’t mind me asking! It really does suck and yes he def could have taken more off for sure. I am just hoping there will be some kind of agreement or resolution when I see him on the 7th. Good luck to you and thank you
I'm going back to the same doctor and he said no cost, thank goodness. But I'm really scared about the second procedure. Keep us all posted on how your visit goes on the 7th. Best of luck to us both, we really deserve the best and to be happy!
