I had an extended arm lift, breast lift w/implants under muscle, extended tummy tuck with muscle repair, and lipo. Dr Burns and his staff are true professionals from start to finish. Very friendly and attentive to my questions and needs. Surgery was June 4, 2019 and I am loving my results. Dr Burns is truly gifted and an artist. Staff is great and if I have questions, I simply email a picture and get prompt response. Great all around.

That's a lot of surgery at one time. You must be superwoman! Following your journey, please keep us updated with how you're doing and pics. Good luck!

How many hours did it take? This is exactly what I want done but most docs won't do the mommy makeover and an arm lift during the same session.

If you spend too long on the table you can end up with DVT. Not a good outcome.

Hello everyone. Thank you for your comments. The surgery took 6.5 hours and I had no issues what so ever. Dr Burns does testing before surgery to ensure you are healthy enough to endure the process. Also afterwards, you are up and walking and have the DVT garments on your legs to make sure you have good blood flow. I stayed overnight in the nurse assisted hotel that is attached to the surgery center. They made sure I was well taken care of the entire time, and even now and it has been over a month. Still love my results. I will post pics soon.

Week 3 pics

Hello, wanted to add some pics for you. These are from week 3. I wanted to show a before and after. As you can see, I am still in the healing process but it has been great. Advise if you are doing a tummy tuck, rent a lift recliner! I only used it for the first 2 weeks (Rent a Center) and slept in it. A shower chair was also a great idea for the first week. Every day after surgery got easier and easier. Pain was not bad and controlled with meds. I switched to just Tylenol after about 4 days. Love my results!! Was well worth doing it all at one time.

I need the extended arm lift too. Can you update on the scar as healing progresses? You look good!
July 26, 2019
Yes. I just took some new pics this morning and I will post them now. Thank you and good luck. I will say the arm lift was the easiest part of my procedures. Not bad at all.

I had an extended arm lift this past november 2018, Scars are visible but I'm VERY pale skin. I do have some areas that i can't feel yet. I was told 1-2 years for scar fading time.
September 12, 2019
Agreed. I have full motion and no pain from the procedure, however, there is loss of feeling/sensation which was expected. This should come back with time as the nerves heal. For my scars, I do the silicone strips and recently bought silicone gel which I put on in the daytime. I was also told that scars take up to a year to fade. Thanks!

Wanted to share updated pics. I am almost completely healed and am using my silicone bandages. I have a couple places on my tummy tuck that should be healed within a week or less. Scaring is looking good. Still very happy with my results.
