I cannot be happier that all my loose skin is GONE!! I have gone back through to read my review and GUESS WHAT??? I had completely forgotten how bad I felt at first. That’s really the beauty of it all—that we FORGET. All I’m left with are the best arms I can have. Just trying to be my best self inside and out!! XO, Leigh

Thanks for your review. I am on post op day 4 from extended brachioplasty and have found it much more painful than I anticipated. Your review gives me optimism that it gets better

Hang in there!!! It WILL get better! It gets SO MUCH BETTER. Recovery is hard. Many times I believe we just see the end result and think oh okay....BUT, we've had MAJOR surgery. It takes TIME for us to heal. Give yourself permission to relax and rest. Just recover. Drink lots of water and eat lots of protein. Aim for 100g of protein per day for optimal healing!!!

Your arms look fantastic! All of that hard work paid off. You can tell you’ve been building muscle on your arms!

This is one of the BEST surgeries!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE my arms. The pictures for arm lifts just don’t do justice to real life. I’m 55 years old and don’t have saggy arm skin. Just amazing. If your on the fence AND have a good surgeon JUST DO IT!!! Make sure your surgeon can do arm lifts. They are a complicated surgery. My scars which are becoming almost invisible are SO WORTH IT!!!
