So I'm 2 and half weeks post op (arm lift) I have noticed a hard lump under the incision ... good old Google says it could be a seroma. My question is will it go on its own or would I need to see my surgeon. Also is it actually a seroma? I'm not due to see her until late 3 months but I am seeing the nurse tomorrow for a wound check.
I lost over 100 lbs and as a result I was left with a lot of lose skin.I had a bracioplasty in March of 2017 and revision in February 2018. The revision did nothing maybe make the contours worse. The doctor grafted tissue from my left arm and put it to fill a crease in my right arm. This pushed tissue from both sides of crease making lumps on my arm more pronounced.He then attempted remove extra tissue from left arm to make them look more even. That arm is still significantly bigger. Help
Im a39 year old woman, I have had weight loss in the past through drastic diet (low protein) which I suspect caused this issue. I then carried on putting weight which has caused the fat lumpy ball to grow bigger and droop more. This is affecting my everyday life, my social life, my confidence and personal life. Please help me find a solution. I would like to know whether NHS in uk would help with with the surgery.
Hi, I had revision scar surgery and Lipo on 05/08/18 on my arms. My left arm has a hard lump, numbness and hurts. It's been 3 weeks now and my left arm is hard as rock. Please give me some insight. Is this normal?
Im concerned with the overall contour of my brachioplasty but more so with the LARGE lump. It's hot to touch but does not have much redness. I'm wondering if it's just localized swelling, considering gravity and the proximity to my elbow. Or if it is a seroma/hematoma that would need draining? How do I tell the difference? What are the thoughts of the overall contour? I feel like it's uneven and also much too large and droopy still. Thanks.
I had arm lift June 23. My results R fairly satisfying but I have 3 concerns & I'd like independent advice 1. I have raised little lump of skin. I can't imagine this smoothening out. ? 2. Other arm, 1 area is like a bulge, and under skin I feel fat ..it feels to me like an 'under correction My dr..said, maybe he ''didn't take enough skin/or enuf lipo. .. wants me to wait until Dec. no discussion yet, but would I be resposible for $$ ??? I hope not ! 3. can stitches be pulled too tight? thx
I had under arms lipo more than three months ago. I had these concerns at 4 weeks but was told to let them heal on their on. Now two more months have gone by nothing changed. What should I do, please advise!
I am 5 days post op and am very concerned about how the shape around the back of my right arm is turning out. I was wearing my compression garment on that side too low at first, but have now pulled the sleeve up. No change at all and am worried it will heal in this shape. Is this just normal swelling? The other incision is not this lumpy at all!
I had brachioplasty done on both arms 6 weeks ago, recently discovered a lump under the incision about the size of a quarter, ultrasound says it's likely hematoma...I will see my Dr in the next few days to discuss this. But I'd like to know how this is usually treated....will it require another surgery, is it an in-office procedure, will this go away on it's own, etc???
