I am doing saline packing on the small wound but is there anything else to speed the healing? Also why are the compression garments worn for 6 wks plus. Thanks in advance
Be patient. Our bodies want to heal and it will. It usually takes much longer than patients expect but for us it is normal. It sound like you are getting appropriate care and if that is your only concern, it sounds like you are doing well.
Some surgeons use compression garments while others do not. It is a preference for some but not all surgeons require it.
I had liposuction done 3 years ago. My upper arms were big but firm. Now they are softer and jiggly. I regret doing it. Especially since they are still big and when my arms are down they look soft and dimply like cellulite thighs but upper arms. And now the skin droops and almost looks fatter over my elbow. I'm not sure if a Brachioplasty is right because it's not just the skin that is loose, there is a lot of soft fat in there too. What would you recommend?
Brachioplasty after lipo usually gives a wonderful result. The one question I ask every patient is "are you willing to accept a scar?" The scars usually heal well over time but count on a year to see the final result. Speak to your plastic surgeon about brachioplasty and if you are not satisfied go on several consultations before making a final decision. I do circumferential lipo when I do the arms as I feel this helps the skin retract, but I reserve it for a select group of patients.
