love my arms!!!! - Toronto, ON

Dr Jugenburg,

It has been two months since my surgery at the Toronto Cosmetic Surgery Institute. It’s hard to find the words to show my appreciation to Dr Jugenburg and his incredible team. I am a 65 year old nurse practitioner; my age and career set me on a path to find the best plastic surgeon to help me with my problem. For the past 14 years I have covered my arms even when at home. I had bat wings, loose hanging skin under my arms, and unsightly cellulite and “crepe-y” skin over the bicep areas. So I had a triple cosmetic whammy. I have been researching and consulting with plastic surgeons to see who could help me with all three concerns. I never found anyone who felt they could manage all of my areas of concern, with any degree of acceptable satisfaction. Then I found Dr Jugenburg. I knew after my consult that I had finally found the right person and team for this surgery. This has been one of the easiest things I have ever done. I arrived on my surgical date. I was greeted by the staff who began preparing me for surgery. The constant reassurance and care was remarkable. The state of the art OR made me relax even more and I was ready to go. I knew as soon as I woke up in recovery that my arms were half the size they had been. I spent the night in the Royal York hotel and was reassessed the following week. Throughout my recovery the incredible team of professionals were a phone call away. Now 2 months later I almost have the arms I had in my 30s. My arms are smaller, firmer, the cellulite skin is gone and I can actually see some of my muscles again. I still have days where I can’t believe Im at this stage of recovery and have my arms back. I am so grateful. The first time I put on a sleeveless dress in 14 years, I cried! Thank you Dr Jugenburg, the nursing team, and entire staff. You have given me a gift no one else could. To prepare myself for surfer I did basically as I was told. I also lost weight and was at my ideal weight on my surgery date. I went on a diet - higher protein, higher fat - cutting out sugar and added salt. Post op I did as told. I wore my compression garments. I made sure I had 4 different types and changed them up to keep my arms comfortable and my skin from irritation. My closing words would be to comply to the pre and post op instruction and try not to deviate without checking with the nursing team and the clinic. Honestly do as you say, and set you sights on a great result. Thank you Dr Jugenburg and the entire staff of the Toronto Cosmetic Surgery Institute.
