Brachioplasty...first PS for me!!!

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!!!!

How much time is needed for brachioplasty recovery? Is two weeks enough? I'm considering doing it this summer while I have 2-2.5weeks free. I just won't to know if that is enough. With my TT, I went back after about 2.5 weeks to a desk job. Please be totally honest.

I had VERY large arms so there was a lot of tissue removed. I had drains in for 12 days. Could not lift anything for 8 weeks I guess it all depends on how big your arms are.

Good luck!

My arms are large too, thanks. Thanks a lot that gives me a lot to consider.
