Before & 4 days After Brachioplasty pics

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!

***edited to add:  I will be going to the doctor on Dec 1 and I will put more updated pics up then***

brooke your arms look a lot better, and I am sure as the swelling goes down, you will look a whole lot better! WTG sweetie! Hugs, gently!

Thanks Char!

Gentle hugs for sure!

Brooke

I can not wait until the swelling goes down to see the new and even more beautiful Brooke! 

WOW what a difference...you must be thrilled!!
Congrats and I wish you speedy healing.

Thanks Moosie,

Right now I am fully understanding "swell hell"!

Brooke

I think the difference is amazing! When the swelling goes down more you will be happier I am sure.

Hi Brooke, your arms look great,I know the swelling is a pain,
they say you really can't expect to see results for like3 months and it can take up to a year to see the final, so if they look good now jst think of 6 months from now
you are doing great
Susan

Thanks Susan!

I am looking forward to getting my compression garment tomorrow.  These ace bandages are a pain in the a$$ (or I guess I should say pain in the arms)!

Brooke

Your pre-op arms are very similar to mine and I hope my overall look is as good as yours this early in the game.  I'm having it done on Wed., gulp.  I LOVE the placement of the incision; I'm hoping for the same.  Good job!!!
