By Request....thin in 13
WORTH IT$5,400
Sorry it has taken me so long to post....and the incisions don't look **that** good since i just had revisons done to each arm 23 days ago...but you can get an idea of where the scar falls on the posterior placement ...and keep in mind **many** arm lifts will stop several inches short of where mine did as mine go onto the forearms (200+ weight loss...laxity everywhere....GO FIGURE! i am convinced it is a superior placement of the scar for MWL especially and i know my scars will eventually fade pretty close to my skin tone.

Arm Revisions are doing well!
The surgery accomplished what i wanted in that the small amount of bagginess on the left and "evened" up the size on the right to match the left near the armpit area. I have hardly **noticed** I had surgery on my arms - thigh lift hogging all the attention...LOL. Actually i read peoples reports of the arm lifts, and to tell the truth, even with the long incision mine **could not** have gone more smoothly. Even now with the revisions, my arms are perfectly functional. I am using them to lift my own body weight a lot as to keep pressure off my thighs.

I noticed your mark up for your arms looked just like the mark up I had done for my little arm fix, but if you remember, my surgeon never got to do it since the LBL went so long. So now I am still planning on having it done, my question is did your fix handle the problem of puffiness at the bottom of the incision area? I am wondering if that will be enough....

yes...well i had "bagginess" from the lipo and not enough skin being taken - so ...it is still swolen but i **think** it is fixed. On your arms, i think what happened is that they did not go down far enough on your arms - if you noticed on mine, it goes a tad past the elbow - so on yours, it stops shorter and creates a bit of a "dog ear" on the arm (just like what happens when they dont carry the TT far enough)

Surgery Tomorrow including minor arm revisions.....
Here is the laundry list of what I am having done, and it includes minor revisions to my arms…lower left near elbow and upper right near armpit - see pics!
Even with the minor revisions I am getting tomorrow I am ***MORE*** than thrilled with my “J” brachio. I have been rockin’ maxi dresses and racer back tanks all summer…..WHAAAAAT??? That is such a freaking FIRST for me. It is amazing and makes me feel amazing. I am finding I am not shy about the scars - they get lighter all the time anyway - I am just THRILLED to have properly shaped arms.
On July 29th, (yes Tomorrow!) I am having several different procedures performed in one 10 hour operative setting:
• Thigh Lift (Long + Spiral + Calf Skin excision)
• BA/BL - Anchor Incision
• Bletheroplasty (Eye-Lift) - upper and lower lids
• Minor revisions to Arm lift (little sag on the left near the elbow, little more skin off of the right)
• May have one hip re-pulled a bit tighter - lateral thigh (this tissue naturally relaxes after LBL, especially with the compromised post massive weigh loss skin quality!)
Also posted a thigh lift review that should be published tomorrow …

Thanks Bella! I see you had arm lipo but not 100% happy? thinking of arm lift instead?
August 2, 2014
Never!!! Arm lift has so many complications,my doctor said i didn't need one and i am glad i didn't to an arm lift because that is what i originally wanted. I will wait the 6 months,but even then i will NOT do a revision. I have moved on to my abs.flanks and butt to be done. I am looking into December. Smart-lipo definitely tightened the underneath of arms,so there is no jiggle or wiggle like before. I no longer have to be self conscious of that. :)
Over all i am Happy!!! I just complain sometimes. But grateful for no complications etc.
Have a great weekend.

don't blame you! i don't think you have enough lose skin to justify an arm lift, but that is a bit of an individual choice.
