As a 62 year old teacher I was very conscious of my flabby arms. Even under a sleeve you could still see them jiggle. I had lost a considerable amount of weight but there was still bulk in my arms so clothes didn't fit properly. I was referred to Dr Guy Watts who performed the procedure for me. I had my first consultation with Dr Watts in March, just a few weeks before I went to the UK and Europe for a month. At that first visit we set a date for the first Wednesday in July (first week of school holidays). I had the procedure performed at Wembley Day Surgery. I did get to stay overnight. The staff were very professional and extremely caring. One staff member was very upset that she couldn't get me a gluten free meal (I am a Coeliac) and could only give me a gluten free sandwich.
I did need my husband to help me dress and undress. I forgot how important arms were and it does help if you are able to rest and be pampered. For the first two weeks I needed help with washing my hair because I couldn’t raise my arms.
I am now four weeks post procedure. My scars are healing nicely. The scars are in a position that's hard to notice unless you really go looking. I am wearing a compression vest which I need to do for the first three months. I now feel strange without one. It only comes off for a shower.
My experience was so positive, there was little pain only some discomfort, tightness and a bit of swelling. I can now wear rings on my fingers so that is a good measure of my progress.
My arms do get heavy at the end of the day, but I am a teacher and I do have an hour's drive each way to school. It is to be expected. I do rest when I get home.
Would I do it again if I had to ? Yes
Would I recommend the procedure to someone else who needed it? Yes
Would I consider other procedures, having had the first one? Yes

Wow, amazing results, thank you for your post and your pics!
Does the compression vest cover your arms at all? How does it provide support?

The vest covers the arm down just past the elbow. It fits snugly and flattens the scar.

Thanks for posting, it's very helpful and your arms look great! It looks like your scars have been very well placed which is just what I'm hoping for. Hope all goes well for you from now on, Jan.

Great to hear. Great you are feeling positive and your healing looks good.I'm five years older but after finally loosing weight feel I can't go sleeveless because of wrinkly, drooping skin on arms. decision made. Op in Oct. Just hoping recovery doesn't take too long as I'm used to being active.
