I had my plastics done on 9/23/02 and the results were, like you, dramatic and instantaneous. I am so happy I did this.

Guest guest Posted December 25, 2002 Report Share Posted December 25, 2002 Deb, welcome home! Isn't it amazing what the abdominoplasty does? I didn't have the arms done, but I'm sure the same can be said for them. Take good care of yourself, and don't forget to keep up the pain meds! Happy Holidays! in NJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
