Hi Jennifer I have been wondering how you have been doing. I havent seen any recent posts and hope you are doing well. I enjoy your videos alot. You give me a lot of reassurance. I am very nervous and scared of my upcoming arm lift, breast lift and implants on November 20th. I am hoping I will be able to return back to work in 11 days as a dental assistant without to much pain or problems. I am wishing you the best and hope to see more updates your journey. Take care.
Hi Jennifer! Congrats on all of your successful surgeries and your massive weight loss. Although I have only lost 61 pounds, I understand the frustration with the excess loose skin. I am contemplating Brachioplasty . But I have too say that it scares me. Having a tummy tuck and lipo...doesn't faze....this one does! Are there any postings ...besides your own that might help me be calmer about this surgery?
I had an arm lift with the same surgeon.
Hi Jennifer, you motivated me to stay on this site, and I so much enjoyed all your updates and traveling your journey with you. You are missed and I truly hope you are doing well and healing well. Please know that you are thought of.
Let me just say you are PHENOMENAL! Thank you so much for sharing. I want to have a baby in a few months so I am only doing my upper back (chestplasty) and my arms on the 13th. I am scared to death. In 2 years I am doing the lower body lift and boobs together. Thank you for this. I need to know what to expect!
Did u like this dr better than dr colwell? You look great!

Open armpit!

Don't mind the hair... I just noticed I had some which sucks because 1- scared to shave and 2- was told I'd never have to again

How big is that wound? It looks infected and nasty. Is "keep it dry" the only advice that he gave you.
A little bigger than a quarter, Nope not infected (or so I'm told) Yup via email and phone when it happened and as of 2 day ago when I sent him those picks. Keep it clean and dry.
I would probably freak if I had a wound the size of a quarter. How are you handling it?
At first it totally freaked me out and I was kinda scared and paranoid but now I'm kinda use to it. I mean it does not hurt (thank god) and for the past week it has not go bigger. I just try to clean it and keep it dry... It's annoying I wont lie but what can I do!?
You got a reply form him or from Scott two days ago?
Yup I called when it first happened and they said it would close keep it clean and dry etc. Then I called spoke to Scott and Kim they both said the same thing. He asked for pics just to be sure and emailed me right back saying the same thing- clean and dry!
Maybe I'll ask a q on here to be on the safe side... but I'm pretty confident its all fine
It is likely that all is well. At times when I have asked questions of the surgeons on this board they have given me well-intended answers that contradicted what Dr. C had told me. And Dr. C was right every time. But do as you see fit.
You should see the openings on my arms now that I am post op. The right arm looks awful. But I did not freak surprisingly! Check out. My pix http://www.realself.com/review/ramsey-nj-arm-lift-flankplasty-breast-lift-body-lift-medial-thigh-lift
Hi! Sry abt ur arm. I had an opening like that from my TT and it took a long time to close and heel. (At least a month) I was told the same, just keep it dry and clean. Hope it gets better soon! I added new pics of my arms. I'm not sure why it's still so red.
