It is never too late to choose to do something that will make you happy! This remarkable 79-year-old woman had been thinking about surgery for years before finally deciding the timing was right. At just 6 weeks post-op, she is absolutely thrilled with her results — and her energy and excitement say it all.

Her recovery has been smooth, her pain minimal, and she’s already looking forward to getting back to what she loves most — playing the piano. She even made me promise to update our website with a brachioplasty page featuring her photos — a promise I was happy to keep. She wanted to make sure everyone knows that she's 79, it was easier than she thought it would be, she was well prepared, and she is so happy she did it!!

Stories like hers are such an important reminder: age alone is never the deciding factor. Thoughtful planning, good health, and individualized care matter far more. It requires a more thorough pre-operative evaluation and clearance from other physicians to make sure we all agree that surgery will be safe...but, it can be done!
