15 Wks Post-op Brachioplasty and my Arms Are Still Hanging. What Can I Do? (photo)

prettyprincess01
I had extensive brachioplasty 15 weeks ago. I have worn my compression garments continuosly. I have even started working out with a personal trainer which has helped a tiny bit. What else can I do? I'm only 25 lbs over weight which I'm working on losing but, I fear with weight loss it will worsen. Now I have a horrible scar and still have bat wings.
