Actually the arms were very easy. Most of the pain I had ws due to the TT. I'm healing pretty well and using silicone tape and a rx cream for the scars. A lot of people are surprised I would rather have scars instead of flabby arms but the scars seem to be getting better. It's going to take at least a yr. for them to fade. Anyway, good luck and let me know if you have any questions.
I'm a few days over 4 weeks post op & I've been feeling my upper abs are swollen also! I asked my Dr. About it and he said it is probably from the compression garment because it ends just below where the bulging starts. I also feel my lower abs aren't as flat as they were.
Thanks! I didn't get an option for the incision. My surgeon always uses the bicepital groove which seems to be the best. I'll post more pics ASAP. Good luck.
I had a TT & arm lift on Dec.7th 2012. I'm just over 3 weeks post op. I have 3 boys and it does bother me not to do as much as I did before but I know in a few weeks I'll feel even better. I keep feeling better each day..some days are better than others. My hips are still purplish and I have some swelling. Anyway, try to take it easy and get help when it's offered.
