Arm lift Jan 2017- today Aug 26 2017

So here goes. My arms. The scars look pretty good. Sometimes they are redder and show more. They can't do anything about the wrinkles on lower arm. That's just me, no elasticity. The CTT I had really made an improvement on all the loose skin my first Dr. Left. The CTT was in March and I still have very noticeable scars so I cover them with larger panties. I love my breasts they are where they are supposed to be. My arms are sore all the time and very sensitive.

6 Month TT update and BL and arm lift with another Dr.

I waited awhile to do this update because I wanted to see if there were significant changes. There's not. I did email my Dr. Pics quite awhile ago. I was frustrated and whining, complaining of all the costs to have it redone. I know he doesn't charge surgical fees but still the 1500. Hospital and anesteologist. Another 1400 for recovery house. 10 days boarding dog. Airline flight both ways. I was thinking I was trying to save money and it will end up being more than if I would have stayed home in the first place. So that's my fault I made the decision to go to TJ. But, I thought I might get a little sympathy from him. I never received a phone call, text email. NOTHING. I see now he has to do many revisions.
So I have had a consultation with a Dr. Up here and ended up having a BL and arm lift here close to home. I had it done on Jan. 5th. Everything went well it's 4 days PO. I am also going to have him do my revision to the TT, just don't know how soon. My new Dr. Is Jeffrey Sweat from Sacramento.

So far my communications with their office and Paulina his Coordinator have been prompt and helpful. She gets back to me right away with answers to all of my questions. She is very professional. I had a video conference with Dr. R. and he was very nice, answered my questions insisted that we follow all the procedures to get the best result while being very concerned about my safety. He didn't make any promises but said he would do the best he could and he made me to understand I must have realistic expectations. I just left the recovery House after spending 9 days there. I had two final appt. after surgery. I was having a difficult time with some pain the first couple of days and we went over what it could be. He finally suspected a bad case of acid reflux got me some medicine and I was so much better. He is a good doctor he does complete follow through with you and all the instructions for when you go home. You will not be disappointed. He is a very good surgeon. I am very very happy with what he did with my body. I'll be 70 next month, don't wait. It's now six months post op. I didn't get the results I wanted. I have to have a revision on my tummy. It wasn't pulled tight enough, a lot of fat was left where when I sit my belly rolls over quite a bit. More so on right side. I had some fat put in butt suppose to be right in the middle but I ended up with saddle bags. Not sure what went wrong wish I had not have that done. I still swell everyday at 6 months. My belly is still numb. I have a hard lump above my belly button that is sore. I have a new dr. Dr. Jeffery Sweat who just did a BL and arm lift on me. So far looks great.
