Arms

Hello -

I have been on the bypass forums, but just discovered this plastic surgery forum (yeah!). I would like to hear from those who have had their arms done and see pictures if you are willing to post them. I am five months post op, but only 20 pounds from my goal. I have a consultation with a plastic surgeon today and am looking to get my arms and breasts done in late December (because I am off work for the holiday). I had my six month post op appointment with by bariatric surgeon yesterday and he said he did not see a problem as long as I was at my goal weight.

WOW, so many great tips here - thank you so much! Realself.com was amazing, I love the fact that you can compare what they looked like before and they list the size of the implant. This website actually made me change my size choice. I have noticed (mostly on television) that larger boobs do sometimes make people look bigger. I have just started buying small tops and would not want to go larger than a medium after surgery. I did buy a large snap in front sports bra this weekend, just for the cups and comfort after surgery. Knowing you are able to run with DDD's is so reassuring. I also love all the positive feedback about the arm because I am really looking forward to being able to wear sleeveless shirts and dresses next summer!!
