Brachioplasty....

Hi! I am having a Brachioplasty on April 2. I have been working out really hard at the gym for the past 8 months with a trainer. He has really been working my arms alot to get me ready for surgery. Has anyone on this forum had the Brachoplasty? Since I have sooo much skin hanging under my arms, I cannot tell if I am forming any muscles or not. On the other hand, what if I'm getting too muscular and end up looking like a man! Thanks for any help you can give me. Teresa

Even though I haven't had brachioplasty, I can guarantee you a few things.  You won't look like a man, I promise.  You don't have the testosterone levels for you to bulk up to that (unless you've been taking steroids on the side) :).  No woman can.  You are building muscle through your weight-lifting and once you get the surgery, you'll be able to see the progress that you've been waiting for.  I don't know your exact situation, but I'm excited for you.  Good luck!!!
