2 months on and feeling good!
WORTH IT$4,800
My arms are looking pretty great! No more pain and the incision sites are healing well. I've had a few comments such as "You look like you've lost weight!", but nothing crazy. The results are subtle. I look like me, just a bit better ;-) I think they will continue to look better as the months go on...especially when I can get back to my usual yoga practice...I've been sidelined by a wrist injury the last few months (NOT related to this surgery!). Updated photos soon!

Blah!
I knew this day would come. The day when I'd look in the mirror and not love what I'm seeing. I know it's still very early in the healing process but I have banding and lumps on both arms not to mention swelling. I know it will get better and my doctor will make sure I'm happy with the final result, but at the moment, I'm not feeling great.....Any words of wisdom would be much appreciated!

no worries,it will subside it takes 3 months.
that's normal. What isn't is dents,symmetry off and
One arm thinner than the other.
stay positive,do massages,use a clarisonic brush for this or some hand held device,stretches and elevate.
I understand the waiting is the worst. Don't get down on yourself. This too shall pass.
sending positive energy&thoughts.
sweet Dreams.

So far, no dents or anything like that, though my right arm is still more swollen and healing slower than the left. The clarisonic brush is a great idea! I'll have to try that today. Thanks, Bella!!! How are you doing???

see it's not all bad. My right healed faster and no scars. My left took forever and still has tiny scars :/

Mama use the garment as much as possible if is loose take it so it could be sewed and tight that helps with the swelling and sculpting your arms look AMAZING huge difference

Thank you! I was actually thinning of ordering a smaller garment but my PS didn't think it was necessary. I have to say I am liking they way they look much better today! Slow and steady. :-)

My clothes fit!!!
So, I have this Marc Jacobs dress that I adore. It's about 6 years old and in great shape. The only problem is that the arm holes were always too small. A 5 lb weight gain would make it almost impossible for me to wear the dress and at my usual weight, it was VERY tight. I wore it last night and the arm holes are LOOSE! I'm thrilled!
Saw Dr. Strerry on Tuesday and he was very happy with how things are healing. Putting scar cream on the incision sites now. Still some soreness and numbness around the elbow and back of the arms. Getting better every day though...Next appointment is in November - 6 weeks post-op - Gonna try to not post pics until then. I think I'm getting a bit too obsessive ;-)
Hope everyone has the most wonderful weekend!!
