WORTH IT$2,500
Arm lift & Mastopexy no implants.
4 years ago I decided I was sick of being morbidly obese so I took control of my life. I lost around 80kg with diet & exercise. My journey took about 2 years to loose the weight. This October will be 2 years maintenance. I studied to become a personal trainer last year & got my qualifications in Feb of this year. Skin removal never crossed my mind until March of this year, one morning I woke up & thought I'm still hiding under clothes! (Sleeves) I wanted to wear a pretty dress and show off my guns that I work hard at & this is where my final step of my journey began. Next year I will get my tummy & thighs done & will feel proud as punch owning my battle scars!

I had 2 weeks off work & I work in an office :) first day back yesterday & was ok :) if I can give you any advice make sure you have some baggy clothes as your arms swell & wearing compression bandages you certainly don't want extra tightness! My arms were 36cm circumference & I got my husband to measure this morning & have gone back between 32/31cm still feeling like everything is tight only because I'm still bruised & swollen in some parts.

Hi, i just had mine 12 days ago. When I stretch out my arms my forearms really hurt. do you have the same thing?
June 24, 2017
My arms have been very slow at healing! I've still got massive bruising and swelling & it was a month on Friday since my op. My forearms don't really hurt. I find when I stretch mine it's under my arms like the skin is pulling so tight....

Dear 43 year old, what a lovely result! My arms are very similar to yours and I was planning on an arm lift and tummy tuck this year and not sure who to use however after seeing your review here I am going to book an appointment with Dr Kim Taylor today. Good luck and keep the photos coming. I can see you in some lovely sleeveless dresses next summer and hopefully me too! Cheers Moira.

Hello Moira, Dr Taylor is amazing!! She is very compassionate about her job & also very honest! I had a friend who revered me on & I didn't even get a second opinion I just felt comfortable with her. I wasn't in private health and decided to do my breasts & arms this year & belly and thigh lift next year when my fund kicks in & to be honest with you this was my first ever surgery being 4.5hours & had no idea what to expect. I am glad I made the decision to do upper body first & lower body together. I'm heeling nicely but I bruise easily & will be excited when I have no pain! I will keep posting photos :)

Hi 43, thanks for your reply. I have made an online request to have a consultation and I can't wait I am so excited. Your breasts look amazing - you must be thrilled! By the time you have the lower body work done you are gonna be one hot body! Cheers Moira.

Thank you Moira! Last week I wasn't going back! Haha but as the days go on I'm so happy I made the quick decision to go for it!!! Good luck Moira private message me how you get on :)

Dear 43, I made an appointment last week to see Dr Kim Taylor and I'm booked for 24th July - I am so excited I would have liked to see her sooner however she is in Africa for a month so I will wait patiently until then. Your early day results are amazing and yes I agree with you she is an artist in her work. The job she has done on your breasts is amazing. Hope you are going well and will put up some more photos when you are healed. By the way where did you have the surgery? Was the cost of the arm lift $3350 as stated on your review? I am assuming the cost of anesthetiser and hospital would have been extra. I hope you don't mind me asking I am just trying to work out my finances to be prepared to book the procedures. I am wanting a tummy tuck too and have been saving up for a while. Cheers Moira.
