WORTH IT$13,800
I have lost over 100 pounds in the past year and have a lot of access skin specially in my arms. Another issue that came after loosing weight was the loss off volume in my breast. After much research I decided to get an arm lift as well as an extended breast lift and augmentation. I had surgery on March 5, 2015 and it went pretty smoothly. I am happy so far. There are some things I have to watch closely to see how they heal but only tI me will tell.

Everything is going good. My arms still feel swollen but the incisions look good.

You look great! Your surgeon didnt go all the way down to the elbow! That's great! What are your plans for scar treatment regiment. I'm hoping to get an arm lift sometime this year, but don't want my scars to go down to the elbow. My arms are similar to your with some loosel skin near the triceps....I.e slight "batwing" area that I would like to get rid of :)

What was the name of your doctor?

It looks like your incisions are more posterior. When someone is standing behind you, can they see your scars?

They would be able to see them. I kind of wanted them more hidden but I knew they where going to be visible either way. I I'm happy with my results so far and am looking forward to the final result as the scars get better and better. I have posted a pic of my current scars and how they look from behind. I wish u the best of luck.

Everything is going good. Arma are healing great! I am currently 3 weeks out and am using maderma for the scars. I still feel discomfort with my arms and I feel like it will never go away. Does anyone know how long it takes for this discomfort to go away?

I had an arm lift on Jan 30th of this year. I still feel the discomfort. Every day it is becoming easier to not think about the feeling or lack of the feeling. I had a tummy tuck one year ago and I know it takes a long time for that feeling to go away. It will get better but you may never get all the feeling back. It will become very normal to you. I would not concern myself over this. You look great!

Thank you for your words. It makes me feel so much better. How was the tummy tuck pain?

On 6/5, I had an breast explant & lift, and arm lift. Today is my 2 week mark. My breasts are doing great but I'm also having pain and swelling in my arms. It's likely caused because I'm on the computer most of the day, but ice bags 3-4 times a day help the most. Next week, my doctor is removing my steri-strips (at the 3 week mark), and beginning to use 'embrace' which is an advanced scar therapy strip (changes it every 5 days I think, but I'll know more after 6/25). Best of luck to you and let me know if you have any questions since I'm also in the Dallas area.
