Hi Cindy,
so I am 6 day post op of upper arm lasern active fx obn face, neck, chest and hands. Facem looks very good and has healed quickly: today I look normal, swelling almost gone, brand new rosy skin and very smooth.

As far as my arms are concerned, still have some pain and swelling but I am wondering if you had the problem of not being able to raise an arm. My right arm is not able to raise a cup of coffee to my mouth and cannot raise my arm very high, I cant raise it at all. The left arm is fine. I was at my doctor on Fri, 2 days ago for the first look after the op and he said everything looked fine, no infection (without drains) and he said it would go away. I am hoping but a little worried if a nerve has been blocked or something.

Will let you all know how it develops. I am tryig not to use my arms too much. Talk to you later and look forward to hearing from you.

hi everybody!
today is 19.oct. 2nd day after surgery! i have pain in my arms especially right and can hardly move them to eat or do anything: slept well both nights. op went without complications.

Oct. 17 10:30 a.m. op upper arm lift and lasern of face neck chest and arms. end of surgery 14:00. full anaesthisia,. Overnight in the clinik.

=ct. 18 Day 1 after op
Lokk like an accident going somewhere to happen! face swelled, with red scabs and open wounds. hard to see as eyes are pulled down through swelling. looks terrible! Hard to keep face neck and chest covered with vaseline: you absolutely need help during this time: cant eat, or do anything where you have to move your arms. thank goodn ess my husband has been helping me. taking pain killer 5 times da day Ibroprofen, acliovir against herpes, arniuca 6 for healing and every hour or so thick vaseline.

Oct 19 Day 2
Still lots of pain but not on lased parts except when vaseline is applied on neck and chest. slept pretty good: arms still hard to move and lots of pain, especially in right arm. fac e still very swollen, scabby and looks awful. on 21 on griday go to doctors again:.Staying in bed the whole time.cannot do anything with arms. This morning was able to get spoon to my mouth but up until now needed to be fed. So let you all know tomorrow how it all develops: hard for me to type so please escuse mistakes. Hope pain goes away quickly. Bye for now!

Hi! sohere it is Oct. 2011 and I still havent done the Activ FX on my face, cheste, neck and hands yet BUT on the 17 Oct have finally decided to go through with it. Also I will do an arm life known as brachioplasty at the same time. Has anyone done both things together and is it advisble. Does anyone have experience with the arm lift? Will let you all know in one week how it all went. I am scared big time!!
