Hopefully when I save up for a tummy tuck next year, the surgeon can swap it out for a lower profile or move it somewhere else. Right now it's about 2 inches to the right of my belly button

How did your arm and breast lift surgeries go? I know I'm going to have to have my arms done, there is no doubt about that - as long as I hold them out to the side, they look like normal sized arms, but when I look at the profile...ugh, it looks like an upside down steep hill and I can't stand it. Do you have any before and after pics?
