Question:
Has anyone had to have their arms re-done because not enough was taken off?
I had Reconstructive Surgery on February 3, 2004. I had a TT, breast lift, and my arms done. After just 8 weeks, one arm seems to be starting to droop. It is 1/2" to 1" lower than my other arm. I don't know how to approach the doctor about this. It looked great until recently. Any advice will be helpful. Lap RNY 8-28-02 - 125 lbs — Linda K. (posted on April 2, 2004)

There really is no delicate way to approach. You just have to say
"Hey! What's up with this?" He's probably going to want you to
wait a while longer to see the 'final' results of the surgery. But, if the
two arms are different- he should be willing to fix it. Good luck to you.

IIIIII had a modified brachioplasty and my arms are much smaller but they
also droop and hang more then I would like (I'm a perfectionist!!) but my
doctor explained that with time and age, ALL of our body parts will sag and
drag due to gravity. He suggested lifting weights and it has helped.
