WORTH IT
As others say, after spending a year following this website I feel like I should share to possibly help someone else.
I've been hiding my arms for 30 years. In my case, they were ruined by the age of 12, this is what 30 year old stretch marks look like after weight loss. I struggle with clothes, tops have to be larger than needed or way too tight on the arms, the fabric must stretch and the sleeves must come to at least the elbow to hide the flapping crepey skin. The technician at my last mammogram actually said "OMG, what happened to your arms". Cosmetic surgery was never on my "to do" list but I've finally realized the only way I'm going to be comfortable with myself, and the only way to fix this is with surgery.

Hello, I just had mine 2 months ago, and I will tell you that I can hardly believe it when I look at my old pics. They were very similiar to yours, and now are normal. I went to Dr Gayoso in St. Pete. It was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I had a girlfriend stay eight nights, and I needed it. You will be so happy you did it!!! Karen in Largo

Karen - I live in Odessa (just north of Tampa...were you happy with your Dr? I'm seriously considering the surgery too. But as you say...terrified of the scars.

Don't worry about the scars. You can get them off with a Fraxel laser. I am 6 days post op and the pain is quite bearable. I was expecting the worst and it was NOT. Ill get them Fraxeled when its time.

Thank you for your courage and pics. How dare a technician say, "What happened to your arms?" Very rude and inappropriate! Sorry you suffered that....

The nausea is the worst part right now. I won't be removing gauze to see anything until Sunday.

I had a lot of pain but figured out today that my sleeves were way to small. Now I have none and am waiting on larger one's from fedex. I would recommend you buy multiple sizes and return what's not needed.
Thank you for your post and your pics! Will you continue to update after the procedure? It'll be great to see and read about your transformation!
What happened when you were 12 that changed your arms?
