About 2 years ago I lost 85 pounds. I had considerable lose skin that other methods of tightening couldn’t help. So a year ago I had a tummy tuck and breast lift done. The results are amazing. I have zero regrets about the surgery. The only thing I need to get fixed is my dog ears on the tummy tuck. I will address those after my arms and augmentation at which time I think I will also do Body Tite to my neck/face fix my turkey gobbler. Haha! Anyway, I am scheduled for my arms with lipo and augmentation for January 24th. He I’ll also address my “side boob” ???? which I SO annoying when it comes to bras! I have hated my arms since high school and haven’t worn anything sleeveless since probably my freshman year! I can’t wait to get into a tank top at the gym! It’s coming fast and I am getting everything in order.
I have to travel by plane from El Paso, TX to Ft Worth as I wouldn’t trust anyone but my PS that did my previous surgery. I actually saw him and of my previous surgery done in Iowa as I lived in SD at that time but he moved back to Ft Worth and then we moved to El Paso but I would follow him no matter where he went. Dr Matthew Steele is an absolute perfectionist. I wouldn’t trust anyone else!
So, here I am gearing up for my next surgery and I am SO excited! I attached my before photos! I will keep reporting as it gets closer and throughout the process!

I've lost over 130 pounds and I cannot find anyone willing to do my thigh lift or arm sagging lift.

An arm lift, more formally known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure that is meant to balance the upper arm with the forearm. ... The drooping, sagging appearance of the upper arm can be caused by excess skin, excess fat, or a combination of excess skin and fat.

Today I have been thinking a lot about how I have always hated my arms. I think fat always went there first. I don’t think I have worn anything sleeveless in public probably since middle school. I want to wear a tank top to the gym, or a sleeveless dress on a date.

I am now less than two weeks out and I think I have everything I need. I am so excited and a little nervous.

I am hoping my new arm will give me a new found confidence!

Well, it’s the day before surgery and my bags are packed. We fly out from El Paso tonight to head to Dallas/Ft Worth!

So many feelings today. Nervous and excited. And to top it off got my period yesterday! Ugh! But I got all my meds filled. I think I’m ready. I haven’t been sleeping well the last couple nights but tonight I should sleep well as one of the meds he has me taking tonight should make me drowsy.

Tomorrow at 11 am! I will probably post before going in!
