I LOVE my new arms and breasts!!! I am a little over 2 weeks out from extended brachioplasty and mastopexy. I am loving my small arms and my perky chest. I went to try on bridesmaids dresses for a friend's wedding and for once I am not ashamed of my arms in a strapless dress. It feels so nice not to be embarrassed of the loose skin. And, I wasn't wearing a bra. Love that my breasts are so perky!!! Just had to share this photo. I can't wait to buy clothes next spring/summer without having to worry about covering my arms! :)

Only 2 weeks out? Your arms look fab, do you have preop pics? What do the scars look like?

Thank you!!! I posted a before and after a few days ago here:

The scars are really straight and have closed up nicely. They are pretty thin already and I am expecting them to hopefully get even thinner and lighter with time. I am very pleased with the placement. He made it where you really can't see them unless you are looking because they fall between my arm and my body.

Good for you!! You look fabulous!! And I think my arms were my favorite surgery. It makes such a big difference!! There is no way to look good with old lady arms.
