Can I ask when you started looking for a good plastics doctor? I am still about 48lbs from my goal but I have no idea when I should start exploring doctors to have plastics. I know I want to do my arms, tummy, and boobs for sure but I am probably looking at a lower body lift as well.
I started looking as soon as I hit the year post mark. take your time and consult with different surgeons before making your decision. Good luck!

Congratulations! I also had brachioplasty, and have to agree, it's worth it! Can't wait to see your other pics.
It sure is. Thank you! Congrats to you too.
I think everyone is different with recovery from this - I had mine and also breast reduction on the same op - I had the Op on the Thursday and the next Monday I was out to lunch with friends. No pain at all, no bruising, nothing - So much so that I went shopping and bought potatoes then remembered what I had had done only a few days before and called son to come carry them home, lol
Don't get me wrong, I went out to eat and spent time outside but without using my arms or making sure no one bumped into me. I was in pain but not taking any pain meds.

About four weeks ago I had my brachioplasty and liposuction of the love handles with Dr. Yager in NY. I love my results and my scar. I'm at my goal weight of 170lbs since Feb 2015. My arms were the most important thing for me to do. However, it is a painful and slow recovery. I took off two weeks from work and that still was not enough. I recommend anyone who is getting it done to take more time off and to have a lot of help because you are going to need it.
Here is the picture I have with me so far... later on today I will post my scar pictures and before and after.
Update: 5/13/15
I uploaded pictures of my before, the scars and also a picture of now 4 weeks post op.
Hope this helps someone out there.

Hips... How are you losing? I've seen to hit a stall... Don't think I'm eating enough. What are u eating and what types of exercise are you doing????
At this point I am losing an approximate of 6-8lbs a month. I eat 3x a day and 2 Snacks. I eat mostly Protein first then I eat the rest. I work out 3x a week with a personal trainer. I weight myself every 2-3 months therefore I don't really know when I'm stalling. Hope that helps honey!
