Progress pictures- Arm lift
It has not been so for me. So far, so good. I have my 2 week followup tomorrow and hope it goes as uneventfully as the whole procedure up to this point.

I have lost more than 150 pounds through exercise and diet even though it took years. But it left me with a a hell lot of messy loose excess skin around my body and this is what bothers me now. I have consulted a PS Dr.Joseph Togba (he is a PS in Oakland) for liposuction and excess skin removal. I need an arm lift along with BA. But my surgeon says to have a gap in between the surgeries to give time for scar healing.
Congratulations on your weight loss- hard work- well done! I've had two PS procedures- an anchor cut tt and the arm lift--spaced 6 months apart. My surgeon also recommends waiting --probably a good call. Good luck.

Oh wow, your arms look wonderful! Definitely tank tops this summer. Yay! I hope to have mine done some day but am a bit unsure about the scar vs. extra skin tradeoff. Maybe next year. I'd planned on doing a breast/reduction and brachioplasty this year but when I went in for my consult, we decided the umbilical hernia needed to be addressed first. So it's abdominoplasty for me this year. The more I think about it, the more excited I get.
So very happy for your and your great results! Sending positive vibes for a continued excellent recovery! Yay!
