12 weeks PO

WORTH IT$12,595
Well, I am just over 12 weeks post op. Things are getting back to normal. My scars are still pretty red but will fade over time. I’m still using the scar gel my PS gave me. I have my three month check up May 8th. I have a few questions for him.

I have noticed my left arm still has like a “band” over the top so it has like two bumps instead of being smooth across the top. Wondering if anything can be done with that. I also noticed that my right implant feels weird at the bottom. Maybe I just have thinner skin there? I dunno. Just might be how it is.

Otherwise things are great. I posted a couple before and after pictures. I am now confident in working out in my sports bra so that has been nice as it’s really getting hot here! Woop woop!

8 weeks PO

Well, hello all! I am now 8 weeks out from surgery. ALL my sores are now closed up! Yay!! I have been back in the gym for weeks now but only just released this last week to use my pecs and lift more weight. So getting back into he grove!
My scars now are very red but I am using scar gel that the doctor gave me so hopefully they will get better. My incisions on my “side boob” seem to be wider than they started. It is something that I will ask my PS about when I see him for my 3 month check up.
I attached updated pictures of my arms. Overall, things are going really good and I don’t regret doing this one bit!

Compared to 2 weeks ago the scars look much better. I'm definitely doing this in December and because of you I'm going to get the fat that hangs over my bra also. So glad you posted looks scary but not.
Ohm gosh! You are going to do great and hopefully love it!

6 1/2 weeks PO

Hey all. Well, I’m 6 1/2 weeks out from my brachioplasty and augmentation. Healing is still continuing. I am almost all healed up in the arms. I have one spot that opened up. It is starting to get better. I just wish they were all closed. So tiring to have open sores for so long but it’s getting close! The backs of my arms are still sore but it is slowly getting better too.

I have had several stitches spit. A few look like plastic but I think it’s just my body’s reaction to a foreign body.

Overall, not a ton to report. I am able to start adding some weight that I can lift so that is nice.

Added a copper pictures.
