WORTH IT
Wanted an arm lift for years but kept putting it off but when i came upon realself and all the other ladies reviews good and bad i decided to go for it. Only had it done today full arm lift and lipo didnt touch my arm pit. Told me i would have drains but thank god didnt dont have paim just stings abit. Lying in bed now with lots pillows. Taking vitimin c and arnica montana hope that helps. Had a look at the front of my arms and all that loose sagging is gone. Just hope the incisions my ps is one of thd best in ireland have really good faith in him. Dont if i can upload a before but will try.

Awesome Miss 22irish how exciting. So you have NO incision in the arm-pit? This means you'll have TONS of mobility. Keep us posted with your progress & healing.

I too have delayed ...of course mostly about all the rawness and infection, scarring ...but I agree that the scars healed so nicely. Ditto on how great your arms look!

Omg all my bagg skin is gone. Still swollen but my bingo wings r gone. A bit more painful but my range of movement is not that bad. Only problem is finding hard to sleep. Looking to seeing my incisions next.

Yes...Miss Irish, I agree with you. I'm having to sleep up-right as well, arms on each pillow. Probably another week for sure. All worth tho, hey? So...when you wake up in the wee hours of the night...just think of me, cause I'm right there in the same boat. Ohhh so happy that all your baggy skin is gone :))

Went to my ps today and got my plasters removed got the first look at my incisions. I thought they would be worse. Still very swollen and bruised but my ps was very happy with them. Still alot of healing to do

WOW...looks awesome Miss 22irish. I really like how tight & thin your incision is. Can't wait to see your arms in a few more weeks...when the swelling subsides. What a difference from before. No more baggy skin on those arms!

Thank god ur right the incision is just one thin line cant wait for them to heal like u and get into our stappy tops ye

Keep healing! Don't be shy with your progress! I'm Having mine done 2/3/16, so I follow as many arm lift gals as possible. Did you lose weight? Or was this age related laxity?

Gained and lost about 60lbs a good few years ago. Have maintained my weight at 124lbs for a good while but my ams never recovered i had lots of old stretch marks they had faded but the skin was never the same. It didnt matter how much i worked i think the more i toned the worse they until i just couldnt live with it anymore. Best of luck with ur op i will keep u posted every week so hopefully we can see my progress
I'm glad RealSelf was a part of your decision to "go for it."  How are you feeling?  I'm sure your provider went over recovery options but here's a Doctor Q&A that might be helpful.
I'm looking forward to your updates. Â Take care.
