The biggest thing is I am a horse trainer and I run around all day in sleeveless shirts because it is much cooler working with the horses. I also ride motorcycles and have to buy an XX Large in order for it to fit my arms. Motorcycle jackets have a very specific cut and they need to fit properly, it’s actually a pretty big deal for safety. I’ve lost quite a bit of weight and my body was getting to where I would like it to be however my arms were the same size, which means I looked like a linebacker. So I figured if they weren’t getting any smaller over the last year I needed to do something else so I came to see Dr.Seare\r

I had a brachioplasty and liposuction done. I had my procedure done 3 days after my initial consult. My consult was on a Friday and I had my procedure on the followowing Monday. I slept through most of the surgery, as it was pretty easy. There wasn’t a lot of pain. I only took pain medications for the first 3 days after surgery and only before a nap or before I needed to go to sleep\r

Before I came in for surgery I kept measuring my arms like every month, with about every 10 pounds of weight loss, and right before the surgery they were 16.4 inches around. I measured them again 3 months after the surgery and they were 11 inches. It’s a HUGE difference. The scar doesn’t show either. I’ve even been hot tubing in a bikini recently and nobody really noticed it. Now every piece of clothing I own is loose on me. I actually put on a size small shirt the other day in a clothing store and it fit. This is a huge huge deal for me because for years and years I’ve had to buy extra big clothes just to accommodate my arms. I get much more positive attention now so its been worth it and the recovery really wasn’t bad at all. The hardest part for me was not doing anything and taking it easy
