I am a month out of my extended arm lift procedure and I noticed that I have developed a small under my right armpit. I would like to know if this is normal. Is there anything that I can do to help close the hole? Was it something that I did that made the hole? Can I still put deodorant on? I'm worried about catching an infection.

Answer: Armlift Arm lift surgeries can take a long time to heal especially in the armpit junction. I would ask your plastic surgeon what he recommends for healing. It can also be helpful for healing to make sure you are eating a diet high in protein. Keeping an open dialogue with your surgeon is very important to your healing and overall happiness.

Answer: Not unusual SO armlift scars are notorious for not healing perfectly all the time. This type of dehiscence is common and will heal given the right dressings and amount of time, probably 2-4 weeks. If your wounds become red or hot and painful then go back and see your surgeon but if they discharge a little fluid and are not infected then they should heal on their own. Hope that helpsAdam Goodwin
