Needing brachio/AL badly
Get 'em done, girl. You'll be so happy afterwards. I have before/after pics of mine on my profile. I LOVE my news arms. They look better than they did when I was in my 20's (and I was thin then).

PS My upper arms were 12" around before surgery and are about 10" around now.

worse instead of better? thats not cool....
I have just before pics of my arms that I haven't yet added.... .
I only get to see my arms when the bandages are being changed by the dr so no during pics yet.... He is being extremly cautious due to my infection last time. Surgery was may 11th.. my belly button died and I was rejecting stitches for months. (coming back out) and the belly button didn't close up till end of Oct.
Extreme caution this time

Honey, if you think your arms are bad, I'd hate to know what you think of mine. I have so much hanging skin it is nasty. My mom cries if I change in front of her. I wish mine looked like yours. But I do understand your frustration. I am getting my arms done first.

Your arms don't look as bad as mine did. I had brachioplasty in Nov. 2009 and the improvement is amazing. I am hoping the scars improve some more but I couldn't be happier with the improvement to the contour and size of my arms. Don't worry, they are fixable and it is worth the effort to have the brachioplasty done.
