How many people have had their arms done the same time as implants???
I did mine at the same time.
I did my LBL first.. then I decided that the girls had to be lifted and enhanced. My arms were so-so, I could have lived with them if I hadn't been doing the BL/BA. My PS asked me at my consult for that surgery whether I thought I'd ever want my arms done, because it made most sense and gives a better result if done at the same time.
My BL/BA and brachioplasty was the easiest, recovery-wise, of my plastic surgeries. I was back to normal within a week.

Having arms and breasts done together is VERY common and often suggested as the 2nd or 3rd phase of plastics. Breast implant pain is typically very minimal with a tylenol or 2. Arm pain varies per individual though it's bothersome since you can't always reach where the itch is! Some have said it's their worst of their 3 big Post Bariatric surgeries and some say the TT is the killer of all killers.
It seems to me the thighplasty bothers people the most (as I cross my legs! ) but that may just be from the drains coming out of obscure places......
See you in a bit at the Back on Track group?!!!
