Age 71, breast lift/reduction & brachioplasty at same time

Healing is coming along fine. I started putting scar gel on at 3 weeks per Dr D'Souza's recommendation. He didn't think the scar tapes are necessary. In the last few days I hardly notice any discomfort except for the occasional "ting" to my nipples or a few of my stitches along my arm. The doctor wanted to make sure that I understood that I will have scars for my arm lift but he made sure that they wouldn't be visible unless I lifted them in a certain way.

After years of stuffing my breasts into an upright position in my bra and hoping my nipples were both even I decided to get a lift/reduction when we moved to the San Diego area. Dr D'Souza was 1 of 3 surgeons that I was interested in and had made appointments for a consultation. His office was able to see me within a week after calling which was a big plus to me. I no sooner had filled out some papers when the doctor walked by the reception area and said he'd be with me in a minute. That was a first. He has a calming demeanor, is easy to talk to, and extremely personable. After explaining what I wanted he examined me and was able to eyeball what discrepancies in size and shape he saw. I then asked him if he could perform a brachioplasty at the same time and he said yes. Since I'm 71 I wanted do both in one fell swoop so I could enjoy them in my golden years. I was able to secure a surgery date within 2 weeks Now 2 weeks later I'm relishing not having to pick up my breasts from my waist.
