X-Post Before & 4 days After Brachioplasty pics

I don't post here often, but feel like family because I am always reading!

I had Brachioplasty on November 20.

I finally downloaded a few before/after pics of my brachioplasty.  I was a "severe" case.  I was the largest case my surgeon has done...LOVELY! 

I'm swollen, and much better than "before" but I had hoped to be smaller.  My "after" pictures look like a lot of other's "before" pictures!

I have a "fat tumor" (can't remember the medical name) on my left lower back.  That will be removed in about 3 months when I do some torso work!

I have a follow up appointment Tuesday.  I will add some more pics after that appointment.

Brooke, once the swelling goes down you'll be happier.  I had my arms done too, it takes some times but once they are not swelling the results look great.

Thanks Dana,

Right now I am definitely in "swell hell"!

Brooke

 You look much better than before Brooke.   I swell like none other too !!!!  Swell hell is a understatement sometimes.   Or at least it was for me.   I stayed swollen for about 8 months before the swelling started going down.    I know you are happy that your arms are so much smaller than before.    Thanks for sharing your photos with us.


Hugs and blessings !! Vivian

Thanks Vivian,

I go to the doc tomorrow to get my compression garment.  Right now I am in these ace bandages and they are driving me crazy!

Brooke

Ooooo!!  So happy for you!! You look fabulous!!  My brachioplasty is in 18 days.  I cannot wait!!

Thanks Laura!

Congratulations on your upcoming surgery.  Remember to take measurements.  I forgot to do that and I wish I had!
