Pre Op for Arm Lift Surgery -St. Petersburg , Florida

Thanks:)

Thanks:)

For decades I was a hair stylist and had my own businesses and therefore I may have more experience with doing hair for others and myself, which might make it easier. I sat down in my shower on a corner bench we have and bended forwards with my body and holding my head downwards to shampoo my hair and that way you eliminate reaching up high like and sitting down. It only took longer and you can get shampoo in your eyes but it worked and the next time I washed my hair it already was days later and after the stitches were out it was so much easier. I did the same while blow drying my hair. I took a chair and was sitting down making myself smaller so my arms didn't have to go as high as normal....it took me way longer but I looked nice when I had to go out the door. It was exhausting but I didn't care since if you look better it will make you feel better as well. I was scared as well since my husband was not a big fan of the suregery since he was afraid for complications but at the same time he was the one who stated not to wear clothes that showed my arms since I look so much better without seeing my arms..lol I know he was right but sometimes it is not what you want to hear even though it is the truth. I never had a huge issue with it regarding clothes until the fashion started to become the way that sleeves of blouses and blazers are tighter than before and also when you wear a sweater the wings will show since the fabrics are thinner. It was uncomfortable and it became a daily thing of looking at other women who have nice slim arms and also looking at other women who don't seem to care and are sleeveless with huge wings. The first PS was so fast in telling me about the short Tscar and never explained more. When I went to another PS who ended up doing the surgery he explained what the short Tscar would do and what the result was and about other options. When he showed in a mirror by pulling the wings/flappies back and seeing slimmer arms, I was sold and especially the clear explanation what to expect without making it look like lalaland made me trust him and this morning when I looked at my scars I can see spots where they are almost invisible and according to my PS the little bit of redness will also go away. The scar is hard to feel since it is so smooth. I really think my PS in combination with the way my skin has been healing is more than I ever expected of the outcome. So yes...I'm happy and hope others get a similar result. I do have to say I have been very good with using the biocorneum and although I have no way of really knowing if without that the results would be the same I feel it added to the result and stopped using it and now only use it when I go to the pool.

I'm so impressed I'm considering going to Dr Gayoso even though it would mean going out of town. My husband would probably not like that idea tho. Lol

I don't get paid for my review so I'm completely honest and I have told Dr. Gayoso that I don't mind if people want to talk to me since I benefitted from blogs and looking for a long time online and being very thorough about having it done. He made me feel that I could trust him and he was for month on the radio and I listened every week to his very clear explanations of many different surgeries since he seems to be involved in many breast surgeries related to cancer and other surgeries where I felt that he is not promissing whatever just to get money. His staff is also great and very nice. The other PS is very nice but aside from one person I don't like his staff and the hours of waiting after the surgery while before the surgery they don't let you wait but thereafter it is more about the ones they havent committed. Since this surgery can be life changing in a good and bad way I would not risk anything by using anyone who isn't giving you the feeling that satisfy you and I don't mean just being a good seller. I don't even believe in pictures a surgeon shows since you need to verify if he did the surgery or if it is from a magazine and not his own work.

Thanks and I hope yours will go as well as mine. I enjoy my new arms daily and I should have done it years ago since it makes a huge difference. Good luck and I'm looking forward seeing your results.

I don't use anything anymore for a long time but I have used Biocorneum and even though I don't know how it would have looked if I hadn't used it, I believe it helped. My arms look amazing and I forget most of the time that I had surgery since I don't feel anything different and it is really performed the best way possible. Living in Florida where the weather allows me to wars short sleeves I do feel comfortable walking around without sleeves and the scars are such a small lines that is not very noticable.
