Saw PS today and had ?'s answered
Hi there,
I had so many unanswered questions and I kept emailing them to the doc. He asked me to come in so we could chat. As you all know, I am having a brachioplasty revised on June 25. I wasn't sure what this actually meant or how much scar would be revised. I found out today it will start at the start of my scar (which is below my elbow) and go all the way to the start of my pit. He will pull off a ton more skin and revise the ugly scars. I am super excited about this....but I remember it being so hard to bend my arm at the elbow because of the scar.My brachioplasty was my hardest surgery---so it is scary for me!
I am also having what is called "flank excision". This one was really the one I had the most questions about. I am going to post pics on my profile. Look at the last two. That is all skin on my back. I wasn't sure if he would be taking it all off, or just the middle roll, or just the bottom roll or what. I felt like i better ask because I wanted it all off!
He will start in the middle of my current side scar (have pics of those too). It is pretty much next to my boob and he will cut a vertical line from there all the way down to my tummy tuck scar on each side of my body. So, I will have to long scars on the sides of my body. He said this will remove the bra roll, middle roll and most of the waist roll.
I am super excited but I KNOW it is going to be painful! I just can't wait. If you want to look at the new pics, feel free.

Kimberly -
Are you going to the OH convention next week in Costa Mesa? If so, I'd be happy to show you my flanks that were done on 10/31 so you can get an idea of how they will look 7 months out if that will help.
This was my easiest surgery, even combined with my arms, maybe because my arm scar only goes to my elbows??
Anyway, if you are going, PM me, and I'll get you my cell number and maybe we can meet up.

Hi Jennie,
I don't think I will make it because I am up to my eyeballs in softball tournaments for my daughter.....but I will see. If so, I will PM you. Do you have any pics you could email me? My email is [email protected].
Thank you!
