WORTH IT$8,000
After gastric bypass, I hated my upper arms - this was what motivated me to seek out plastics. After having a couple others (lipo on my nec, because I could afford it immediately), panniculectomy (insurance approved), I finally got back to my arch-nemesis' - batwings. Saved up, made a plan, took the plunge. Money super well spent. I would recommend this to anyone who has ever hidden their arms under a light sweater on a hot day. Its only been two months, and I can't hardly wait for summer so I can wear sleeveless shirts. LOVE my arms. Scars are pretty well hidden, and I expect will fade a bit with time. Very pleased with the outcome! Easy recovery, not much pain.

Thanks very much for posting, I need the same procedure so it's extremely helpful and great to see that you're healing so nicely. Must be lovely not having to cover up all the time, hope you enjoy every minute of it, you deserve it!

Thank you! Hasn't gotten warm enough yet to uncover, but I love my outcome! Good luck with yours, so much easier (pain wise) than I ever dreamed!!

These pics look brutal-but I promise the pain was minimal. I'm a big wimp, and this was a walk in the park!

I am scheduled for 6/1 and very nervous.

I was too. It's not even close to what I expected. I hope you find it to be the same. I am so glad I did it.

My surgery went well. I had a partial meltdown looking at the scars. I am better now and I can't believe it's been 2 weeks already. The swelling is going down. I was happy to finally try on a top and not see the bat wings. How are you coming along?

Your arms look great. How's your range of motion? I am scheduled for June 1st and looking for insight from people who have already been through it. Thanks

Range of motion...100%. You'll be fine- no worries. I still have a little numbness-but a nonissue IMO
