I'm doing great thank you. I just came back from Aruba where I went sleeveless for the first time in as long as I can remember. I put a little makeup on the incisions and kept them out of the sun like the Dr said. I'm doing a bit of weight lifting to get some definition. There is no way I am going to let them get saggy again, lol!!! How about you?

I'm massaging the scars with Bio Oil....when I remember :-)
I still have some nerve discomfort in my left arm which I don't like much but I'm learning to live with it x

You look amazing. I went for consult last week. I am doing a Medial thigh lift and Tummy Tuck. I wanted my arms lifted but the doctor said we will see how I scar. Are you glad you did it? I hate my arms.

Hi thank you :-)
Yes I would do it all over again !
I had the Tummy tuck and arm lift together.
My tummy looks amazing and so do my arms , I am so pleased. :-)
When are you having your procedures?

I think our arms bother us more than our tummies etc as they are on show. People can see the bat wings :( I too have had a tummy tuck and breast reduction/lift and love the results. That was nine years ago. I have finally just had the nerve to have my arms done 2 weeks ago tomorrow. It will help my confidence no ends, as I was always aware of people looking at them flapping about. Well I thought they were lol. So pleased with them now and cannot for summer time to wear sleeveless tops.

Aw fab
I would love a breast lift! How was that in regards to discomfort and recovery etc?

No problems at all and I am soooooo glad I now have smaller pert breasts. Hated having big breasts as I am only 5ft tall and they made me look bigger than I was.

Lol well ...in my view if I had the skin around the breast tightened (and cut off) then that would take away what spills out of the bra under the arms ....is that right? ;-)

I do hope so :) I showed my daughter the before and after in my compression garment today and she was very impressed. Yes I plan on wearing my cg for as long as I can cope with it.

Please can you put a pic of what your arm scars look like now. You look fantastic and I am hoping to look half as good as you when I go on my holidays, which will be 4 months post arm lift surgery. Sadly I am not as slim as you though:)

Simplymarvelous I'm good thanks you ...still a bit of nerve discomfort but not too bad. My surgeon isn't saying anything much...I'll see him again a week Friday see what he says then...hoping that it will be better by then:-/

I'm coming along. A little more range of motion everyday. I have a weird sort of numbness in my lower right arm. I can't quite tell if it has improved. I'm changing my tapes on Tuesday and I'll have my daughter take some pics before she replaces them. That's really the only way for me to see how they look close up. I'll post them right away. Did you have those tapes and how are you armpits? Happy healing.

Hi Pauline- armpit issues and trying to get that under control. Not too bad really but Ive got to watch it and be vigilant keeping it that way. I am not going to over reach or put any stretch from that arm. Know you understand...... Keep up the healing!
