Revision tentatively scheduled for February 13th
I had my revision consultation with Dr. Kortesis and have tentatively scheduled my arm lift revision for February 13th, provided I get clearance from my Endocrinologist.
After my last surgery I was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism, and I'm still in the process of getting my hormones under control. Once I'm cleared by my doctor I will have this done to take more off my arms and fix my scars.
I am extremely optimistic and I trust Dr. Kortesis 100%! I will update more as it comes!

Happy with breasts, but arms will be revised late 2016 or early 2017
So my arm lift scars are still fresh so they are red, but I spit so many sutures my scars came out pretty badly. That is not my surgeons fault, although he is going to revise my brachioplasty itself and fix them while I'm under.
My arms are much improved, but I still have a significant wing on both sides, so we will be revising probably Jan 17'.
Overall I'm pleased with my result, and my breasts are wonderful- I will be happy to see the remaining redundancy removed from my upper arms later down the road!

7 weeks postop
All my openings have closed or scabbed over with the exception of my left armpit, which they cauterized again today. I stopped wearing my arm sleeves on Wednesday of last week to see if the pressure was delaying my healing, and wouldn't you know it, my wounds literally closed overnight!
My left armpit improved so drastically over the last five days, I'm sure that the sleeves were delaying my healing somehow. Fortunately my swelling is not that bad, or at least I'm not noticing it as much, so it's not bothering me to go without the sleeves. I have started walking everyday again for at least 25-30 minutes, and I am incorporating lower body gym moves back in as well. I'm feeling up to some light impact cardio today believe it or not!
I refuse to get on the scale, I already know the number is just water weight :)
I'll definitely need some scar revision, but it's really not as bad as I thought it would be. I'll be interested to see what my left armpit looks like once closed. I'll finally get my endermologie treatment starting tomorrow!

I could not ask for a better doctor. From start to finish, Dr. Kortesis is caring and responsive. He really takes the time to listen to what you want, and ensures that you get exactly what you ask for. I really also appreciate that he is realistic with his patients in what they can expect, and the aftercare you receive at his practice is second to none. You truly feel like family at Hunstad/Kortesis. I'm so glad I chose them and will never go to another physician for any work I may need.
