Hello, OMG! i thought i was the only one, really didn't know who to talk to about this that would understand but i came across this site and read your story. I so feel you! i also got arm lift and tummy tuck at the same time and your so right! i felt so restricted had to get my mom to take some time off to help out since i do have little ones, after a couple weeks i felt overwhelmed i couldn't do much for myself having both procedures done at the same time. i had mines done in june, I'm coming across to my 6month, I'm happy with my tummy tuck but my arms have thick dark pink scars still and my skin still seems to be loose so I'm planning a revision in Dec, so i understand about the dark scars and its funny what u say because i catch people looking at my scars randomly while talking to me and yes people stare and its uncomfortable,i wish they would heal faster! i know that the tummy tuck scar will be fine i had a c-section delivery and had a long scar and it healed nice and got light as my skin so I'm hoping tummy tuck will heal as good too, but these arms are very dark and i got keloids which is thickening of scar so my doc wants to go back in remove scar and of course pull more skin, i did loose about 15lbs after surgery so maybe that loosened skin more but i really wasn't fully happy when it was done because even though it was swollen i still saw it somewhat loose and told my doc, he said to at least wait for 6 month recovery and go from there. so December it is... 6 months post op... and I've been using the silicone scar gel i don't see improvement, but i guess it doesn't matter now I'm getting the procedure done over so ill have to start all over with the healing process, i did discuss other methods with my doc and we are going to do injections which help break down scar tissue from inside out and should improve coloring. ill keep u posted. and i wish u well with your recovery. God Bless you...
