Arms size remains uneven - scars have stretched

in my opinion your dr. should have done lipo along with the arm lift. this would of definately made your arms smaller. the comment the doctor made to your husband was just RUDE! everybody's right or left side is bigger. unfortunately you will probably have to have a revision, but i dont think i would use the same PS. i like you, didnt know to ask certain questions, but now that i have been through it i am better informed. give it atleast a year though, and at that point what you have it what it will be. i wish happy healing for you!

I'm new to the sore and didn't realize you could ask Drs. How do I do that?

Oops site not sore :)

Thanks for your reply. I wish I'd found this site before my surgery!!! This is a site with honest and real life experiences. I definitely will use a different PS for the revision. I need to find others that have went through one. I'm concerned about the possibility of the scarring becoming worse. Or do the cut along the same lines.

Just sign in to your real self acct and under find doctor there is 'ask doctor'. Go to that ;)) BTW... I agree with the lady who posted your Dr was rude in making that comment to yor husband. Can't wait to see the replies you get from some of the doctors.

i think they cut along the same line. but if you have it redone then maybe the new PS can place the scar better. im thinking if you have lipo before then that will give you more loose skin to remove. so you would basically be starting over :( i had my arms done 1 yr ago and the only issue i have is a 'banding' when i bend my elbow. you can see the pics on my page and i will post pics of my arms now. now the thighs, uugh, thats a different story...all of my stitches let go so now i gotta do it all over again :/

I've had the bat wings my entire life. Huge weight losses a couple times and they also run in the family. I just want to be able to go sleeveless one time in my life!!! Besides bathing suits :) The hard part for me is knowing what a realistic expectation to have. Looking at others pics here has helped give me an idea of what I can have.

What happened during your consultation? All my PS did was look at my arms and said he could help. He may have asked if i had any questions, I can't recall. But that was it. And he is Board Certified. :( Will definitely seek a couple of opinions when I start the revision process.

Good Luck with your surgery!!!

When I met with my PS I basically did what you did and showed him my arms. He told me that I would need an arm lift and that the scar would run from my arm pit to elbow and he proceeded to fold my skin in order to see what my result would look like. He also showed me where my scar would be. While folding up my skin he told me that I still had some fat areas that would need to be extracted (liposuctioned) out in order to give a better result for closing the incision. If you look at my profile I have started one review on Dr Kerr and you can read my comment on him. I've met with a number of plastic surgeons and they're regular people...unfortunately you've got your [RS bleep], the arrogant, the clueless and then you find a jewel!! :) I've been lucky to find very caring plastic surgeons (took time weeding the bad ones out)! Good luck to you! Meet with as many Dr's as you need to eventually you'll find the right one!

Thank you!! I will start another review on my arm lift and follow up with before and after photos. Right now I've started one for my bbl. I will also be having liposuction on my thighs in order to prepare for a thigh lift in the future!
