Extended Arm Lift - Pasadena, CA
ORIGINAL POST
I'm 3 months post op and feel amazing. My surgeon...
WORTH IT$7,800
I'm 3 months post op and feel amazing. My surgeon pulled as tight as he could and did lipo on my back which really smoothed me out. I had the extra skin on my arms from loosing a lot of weight, this was by far the most painful surgery I have ever had, but totally worth it. My arms felt foreign for about 6-8 weeks, over the first few weeks I gained range of motion back ie, putting my hair up. I am now back to working out and exercising to look my best. The scars are thin and fading by the day.
The Scars extend from my elbow, down my armpit and under my breast, they look the worst under my arm.. but I'm using scar cream my Dr. gave me and its working nicely.
I still try to use armsleeves/compression as much as possible, I found the best thing was little girls tights and cutting them appropriately.
I still have numbness on the incision line and some swelling in my left hand because of all the lymph systems and nerves in our arms.
I am so happy with my surgery!!!

I'm having an extended bracioplasty with Liposuction along with a breast reduction on nov.3. Do you have any advice as far as going to the bathroom and cleaning yourself? I like to be self sufficient in that area. Any recovery tips would be appreciated. I wish I was as far along as you are. I'm getting nervous about the pain and down time but not about my ps work.
Would you post before & after pictures. Thankyou so much! ♡
I'm planning on this next...so around 3 month mark is wen i might start feeling somewhat normal! I just had a lower face/neck lift 3 weeks ago...so i don't know if im ready for more pain yet. Congratulations....
Congratulations on your weight loss! Did you have WLS, or did you do it through diet/exercise? I'm so glad you're enjoying your results. I need this surgery myself and I'm always so worried abut splitting the stitches.
