Armpits are irritated after brachioplasty

December 19, 2017
Asked By:july0304 in Asbury Park, NJ

Hello! I am 2 week’s post op from a brachioplasty and lower body lift. Everything seems to be healing well, except for my arm pits. Both are very irritated, and I think my right one is starting to open a bit. To me, the compression vest I am wearing is too tight. I’ve asked several times if I should get a larger size, but I am told no. I need to take a break from the CG. Is this a bad idea? And any other suggestions on how to heal the armpit area quickly?
