My insurance has a total exclusion on plastic surgery, so that was a no go.

I had arm lift and breast lift with him last summer. Love him, love his staff, love his work. I was treated wonderfully at Sibley Mem Hospital.
Make sure you do what he says to min scarring - the cream, elevate. The arm lift scars can be tough because they are long and visible.
If you do not have one, I suggest getting a elec recliner. I looked and got a cheap one on Craigslist and then steamcleaned it. You want to put as least stress on your insiscions as possible. If you have any specific questions, please ask. I have posted my tips, let me know if you cannot find them.
Good Luck!
Here's an elec recliner for $100 (new they are close to $1000). THe back is designed popped off of mine so the back went in the back seat and the base fit in my trunk. I did not need a truck to move it, but you shoudl check.
