Well.....my brachioplasty is scheduled for November 14th at 7AM!! WOOHOO! Getting nervous. I wanted to share the journey with you all. I am posting up today preop pix! Dr. Urquehart in Anniston, AL is doing my surgery. Total cost for me: $3400! Not too bad considering his standard cost is $3600!!! Oh and did I mention that I get 3 free laser treatments to my scars!!! WOOHOO!!!!

This is what my arms look like now.....

This is what he said they should look like after surgery...we shall see!!!!

It looks amazing!!

Really amazing!

Well it looks as though my internal "dissolvable" stitches are not dissovling.....I got back to the PS thursday. The insicion is look GREAT but I have a stich that has worked its way to the surface....not too sure what he is going to do about that.

OMG, your arms look great! Thanks for sharing your pics with us. It gave me the kick I needed to start looking into surgeons near me.

Please keep us posted on the healing with pics!

Thanks!

I was worried about scarring, but yours are looking very good! I was banded by Dr. DeWitt in Birmingham, I wouldn't mind going to Anniston as I visit the Army Depot up there to buy rifles a good bit. Post more pics soon!

How did your visit go on Thursday? I hope you got good news. Your results look so good so far. I hope it continues. Keep us posted. Have a Merry Christmas!

Your arms look absolutley great! I have been looking into this procedure as well. My arms seem to make me look so muchbigger and are in needof a tune up!

Do you have any additional pictures of how they look now? How is the scarring healing? This is the only thing I am worried about

Look forward to seeing more of your amazing results. I really appreciate your post

OK Im warning you these pix are kinda yucky but here is POSTOP DAY 1:

Your arms look great!! I had mine done Oct 2009 My arms were MUCH MUCH bigger then yours. I am happy I had it done and would do it again but i had a few problems I had a bad numbness for almost a year and still dont have normal feelings by the incision areas. I also had drains in for 13 days. There was so much tissue that I had to have the drains. My cost also was 10,000 which killed me but my bat wings were so bad. The problem is now I dont have any money left to do the body lift and thigh lift I need so bad. But those I can hide lol I did post pictures on here somewhere of my arms. Best of luck keep posting picts!

Hey Kaninag, how is your recovery going?

It is going well! I do still have some numbness but as long as noone touches my scars Im fine lol. It is just right along the upper scar line but it has gotten better. I don't even notice it hardly except for when I rub lotion on it.

For some reason I have not been getting email updates from this site so I apologize that I have not posted on this thread in quite some time. When I get home this evening I will post up some recent pix. I love my arms I am so excited for the summer to get here lol. My scar line is still pretty red but Im pretty sure that will fade away over the next year or so. You can't even see my scar except from behind anyway lol.

I was super worried about the scar too but when it came down to it I was more self concious of the bat wings that I am with a scar!

I hope you all are doing well! More pix to come tonight!!!

Thank you so much for your postings and pictures. I am looking forward to seeing how your scars look now.

Thanks again for sharing.

Your progress is amazing. Would love to see more pictures! I am really contemplating this surgery as my arms are horrendous!

Ur arms look great! I'm scheduled May 3rd for brachioplasty & chest wall reduction. Not looking forward to the pain. Did u have to wear a compression garmet? My doc says I'll be in one for a month

What is. Chest wall reduction?

Thanks

Chest wall reduction is when they remove the arm pit & back fat, the 3 rd & 4 th boob I call it. It's a incision along ur back & side brra line.
