Im having an arm and thigh lift after major weight loss in September. My surgeon gave me an option to take the prevena wound vac for a price. Is it truly necessary to heal my wounds? Im a 33 year old female. I just had a mommy makeover in May if this information helps.
My arms are pretty muscular but i have a pad of fat all around the muscle. I know i will need a lift, no way around just lipo. I can't fit into most blouse sleeves. I also don't want to wait any longer, i am ready to do this immediately. Any suggestions?
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 had brachioplasty on both arms 5 weeks ago. It is healing nicely, per my doctor. However, it feels like some of the stitches along my suture line are trying to poke through the skin.
Can I use steristrip wound closure to help the wound close? Im afraid it will heal as is and the scar will be that much wider... it keeps seperating. Is there anything I can do t this point to close it up and prevent it from healing that way.
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
