You look great. I admit Mexico was a bad idea for me as I had to get it done over. But I’m happy now after CTT, BL no implants, AL, and thigh lift. I hope to post pics once I’m healed. Best Wishes to you.
You are inspirational. I am 58 and having a mommy makeover on February 21st. A little nervous about the pain post op, but know it’s gonna be worth it. I’ve wanted to do this for as long as I can remember and finally decided to do something for myself. I hope my results are as terrific as yours. I’m thinking to get rid of my bat wings next year if this goes well. Do you have any after pics of your arms? How was it compared to the TT for recovery? Thanks for all your posts, your experience is exactly what I’m hoping for.
Look great
You look awesome!
Love reading your journey you look great

All going well!

Drains / tubes out yesterday, along with the staples in my arms.

The BURNING pain from the lipoed areas seems to have subsided substantially - VERY nice!

Back into a girdle / compression garment now that those drains are gone - feels helpful and is not TOO tight.

Here's some pics - got fitted at VS and depending on the bra I'm a 32DD or
32DDD - WOW!!! Prior to surgery I was 36C - changes ---

And I wore a medium panty, now it's a small or X small - LOVE the changes - who wouldn't!!!!

Notable difference with the arm surgery and lipo vs the TT / LBL and BL / BA surgeries in March one week apart: my energy level is normal this time, which I hugely notice and appreciate. Surgery on June 27, cruising Oahu and test driving a Porsche the 29th until we left Jule 1st and on the go since returning to Kona - love feeling 'normal'!!!!

You look phenomenal! Congratulations! :)
Thank you for your kind comment!
You do look pretty damn good. Did you get fat transferred ? I just got back to the recovery house.
How are you doing???? YAY!!!! Can't wait to hear and see!

Didn't do the fat transfer - I'm ok with that.
There are pic posted of my tummy. My Tim looks great my butt looks big but the dr has assured me it will go down 30%. I stayed nigh at hospital. Back now at recovery house. So glad I am staying here.
Wow glad I found your review. I so keep thinking I am too old to be doing any PS but you changed my mind. Thanks for the positive vibes. I have 43 days to wait. So nervous
Fantastic! All the best to you!!!
You look wonderful. Was this done under general anethesia?
Thank you!

Absolutely!!! Each procedure was at least 6 hours and was three surgeries.

Arm lift and lipo done

Here's my 'afters' - I'd heard the pain was AWFUL - well, my high tolerance paid off once again - not near as bad as I expected.

Stopped Percocet before I left the recovery center the first day post op; now it's Tylenol only, as needed.

Have some lipo 'dents' that I'm hoping will resolve on their own -

Ended up with seromas on my back so even tho arm lift was the drainless procedure, I ended up with drains. Hope they come out today!

Your arms look wonderful, now I'm hoping you will get your drains out. What a difference!
Yes, so far so good - thank you!
They look really good. I see he uses staples. Some pics I just see stitches. I wonder what the theory is on that. Go rest up hope the drains come out soon.
Thanks - I like what I see so far.

Yes, I know what you mean - no clue what the difference is / why some do / some don't.
One week PO appointment tomorrow and am confident that the drains will come out.

I was NOT prepared for the burning sensation I'm experiencing in the areas where I had liposuction - even with my pain tolerance, this is BAD!!!


Hoping it passes quickly -
