Josie K...Starting my Brachioplasty journey

hi,

I am just starting my journey to undergo brachioplasty (this word sounds like a nosejob ro me lol!). Yesterday I went to see my PS that did my TT and breastlift. I asked him to look at my thighs and arms. No go for thighs. He said they are fine as is...He also felt my arms would look ok if I worked out. But i hate my batwings and i LOVE the way he did my first surgery. The scars are barely noticeable for my TT/Breastlift. So of course i want to get it done today. But we have quite a few trips planned this summer plus my stepdaughter is getting married in September. So my plan is to do it after the wedding. The Dr said he did my breastlift in a way that he can do the arms and also take some of the back skin away. So it's like a "gift with purchase" ha! I'm liking what i see on this forum in terms of the scar healing. Sueham....i'm right behind you on this one.......I'll keep everyone posted when i take my next steps....Josieioplasty

I am very happy for you...I have no regrets. It has been 18 months and I am sometimes forgetting I have scars....Scars are nothing compared to batwings!!!!

I gotta admit that I'm quite jealous! Congrats and hope all goes smoothly. Thanks for sharing with us. This way I'll know what to expect when I hit the lottery :)

Got rid of my bat wings and they were HUGE! Thrilled that I did it but wish they had come out a little better, but yes would do it again for sure!
