I just had a brachioplasty last week. So far, so good. It's been a super easy recovery.

I had limited range of motion for about 3-4 days. Now I have pain, but it's not bad.

It's been really easy and I'm so glad I got it done!

I LOVE the results, hated the recovery (but everybody is different).  I "could" care for myself as I have to, but I had everything I could conceive of ready for me, so everything was waist level etc.

I had my brachioplasty last Friday. It was an outpatient procedure and super easy. I was uncomfortable the first few days, but otherwise everything has been great. I can't wait to show off my new thin arms!

I had my arms done almost two years ago.  I didn't spend any time in the hospital - went home right from recovery.  I needed some help the first 24 hours because my arms including my elbows were wrapped in ace bandages.  Bandages were removed 24 hours after surgery and after that I was able to take care of myself.

Loving this new life, just trying to figure it all out and take it all in day by day!!!
