Hello everyone I am still pre op but I am wondering if anyone has had skin removed that went well. I have seen lots of photos and videos regarding extra skin removal and I'm nervous about what's to come post open or should I say post goal weight. Many of the pictures I've seen were terrible jagged scars but some of the shows I've seen are pretty minor. Does anyone have bad scars? Minor scars? Almost no scars? Has anyone lost weight and there's very little extra skin or does everyone get it? Are there things i can do now to prevent extra skin? I know I'm throwing a lot out there but any support is greatly appreciated. Again I'm still pre op I'm 26 5'4 and I'm at 260 my highest weight was 278

Hey ladies, I know this was an old thread, but I'm hoping some of you will still be around. I'm ready to have my brachioplasty, and my surgeon wants to do it January 7th. I have a vacation to mexico planned for march 1st and wanted it done before mexico, but now I'm getting nervous about if I will be pain free by then. It gives me 7 1/2 weeks between surgery, and the day I leave. If it were you, would you do it? One the one hand, I really want my thin arms to wear in tank tops and swim suits. In the other hand, I don't want to be miserable or painful and not be able to do all the fun things I want to do.
