75lb Weight Loss Gave Me Pouches Under my Arms That Made Sounds when I Lowered Arms, and Got Sores Where It Rubbed on my Bra.

After losing 75 pounds, I was left with sagging pouches of skin underneath my armpits, and flapping skin under my triceps, despite lifting weights and working out, nothing was getting rid of it. It wasn't bad enough to require a complete arm life that leaves a scar all the way down the arm, so Dr. Alfonso was able to modify it so it only left a scar in the crease of my arm pit, and was still able to remove a large chunk of skin, leaving me with a great shape to my arm now!

Congratulations on your weight loss and a successful procedure.  Beautiful work!  You must be pleased.  Because the scar is not as severe as a complete arm lift, was your recovery simpler?  Please keep us updated on your progress.

Your previous shape looks exactly like mine now, but I've been overwhelmed with how to deal with it. Thanks so much for sharing! Maybe I will visit Dr. Alfonso. How do you find the scars now? Still visible?
