I have always hated my arms. I have bad genetics and they always were bigger than my body making me look like I was much heavier than I am. I had liposuction done over 10 years ago and unfortunately that made my arms worse I made them sag.
I went to a Dr. Capella because he came highly recommended. I also had friends and relatives go to him. He has done an extensive amount of arm lifts and has even perfected his own stitching to help with scarring
I had my surgery on 9/21 so this is only my fourth day
I feel fantastic my arms are tight and sore but nothing compared to my abdominoplasty I had years ago. I did not even need to take pain meds I just took eight hour Tylenol
The whole experience from arriving at Hackensack hospital to the recovery room was very smooth and pleasant. The nurses at the surgical center were fantastic and took such good care of me
Dr. capella staff is also extremely responsive. Every time I email Kerry I get an email back within a half an hour.
I am posting some before and after pictures I will keep updating on my recovery to help others out there who are looking to have this done. Again this is only my fourth day so the incisions have not yet flattened. I really don’t have a lot of bruising either from the lipo
I have been taking Arnica Montana and bromelain
So far I am VERY HAPPY I had this done
I’m not worried about the scars as I can have scar revision 18 months out. I’m also going to work very hard to take good care of them. The trade off of the scars is well worth it for me to be able to wear tank tops and short sleeves and not be mortified by my arms

I still have lot of tightness and my arm pits are very sore. I do have what looks like small separation in my armpit but I go on Friday for the Dr to look at. I still m not driving I m afraid of pulling my incision. I have noticed a lot of large hard lumps under my skin but I have read that is normal. I will ask on Friday.
I still cannot get over how much better my arms look this was so worth it at this point
I do need to stay I am being very careful I still am not driving any farther than like a half of a mile. I’m not lifting my arms over my head. I’m being very conscious of everything that I do
