Time to Get Rid of These Arm Flaps! - Jacksonville, FL

WORTH IT$5,000
Over the last few years, I steadily lost about 130lbs. Now that my weight has been stable (I would like to lose 10 more) for about two years, it's time to start the journey of removing this excess skin.
I'm starting with my arms for a couple of reasons, mostly because they bother me more than other problem areas. I live in Florida, and I'm tired of always wearing long sleeves or sweaters over my maxi dresses when it is ninety degrees outside. I would like to wear a tank top and be able to show my toned arms which are hiding under this glob of skin and fat.
I had my pre-op appointment today, so much to do! Surgery is in two weeks!
I will be having a breast augmentation also, but will write a separate review for that procedure. For reference, I am 37 years old, 5'10", 190lbs. My right arm is 10.5 inches, and my left is 11 ( the nurse pulled the tape pretty tight).
I will post pictures when I can get some help taking them.

I am doing them together. Initially, I scheduled the arms, then I added boobs (I have a separate review for that).
Total for brachioplasty, silicone implants and periareolar lift is $9500.
Good luck!
Are you MWL, too?

MWL= Massive Weight Loss. Considered 100lb or more of weight lost. So yes, you are! ;)
Why are you having revision? I'm having my BA and arm lift together, so I don't know why you couldn't. Of course, depends on your surgeon.
How was your appointment?

Thanks,, I felt great at the beginning, but I truly believe that it has cause other skin to fall. I think one procedure leads to another I just turned 50 I work out religiously 5/6 days a week and my back has started to sag while I was in my recovery period for 6 weeks. My arms have always been big Just want to see the muscle that I have built up in them. The arms have never been done. Now I will be getting lipo of my hip/flank area bra line lift and brachioplasty and hope to be able to return to work in 13 days?? I work in surgery so as long as my wounds are healed I will be ok

I am going on 5 weeks out and I am not going to lie. It has been difficult. albiet worth it, Swelling at the elbows, adhesions that had to be massaged and nerve pain. Its all normal but can be scary when you don't know that. I usually heal fast but this has taken more time. I hope it doesnt happen to you, but if it does know its normal

I had an arm and back lift 3 1/2 months ago. Only wish I could have done it a year earlier, right after I reached my goal weight. My arms haven't looked this good since high school. So exciting! good luck with yours
