It is common to have redness and swelling around the incision after an arm lift. If you feel the things have gotten progressively worse recently, I recommend contacting your surgeon. It is a good idea to be in touch with your surgeon with any questions or concerns. I wish you the best. Dr. Gabbay
Hello, its not uncommon to have some discomfort and hyperemia to your healing incisions 2 weeks after surgery. The photo is adequate to offer infection advice. I would see your PS for an evaluation in you have any concerns over infection or concerns. Good Luck.
The incision is healing nicely. On the foto the skin around the incision close to the armpit looks slightly reddened. This could be a superficial infection. But it is difficult to judge just based on a picture. Give the office of your plastic surgeon a call and ask for a post op appointment. You may need some additional treatment with antibiotics. I hope this helps.best wishes
Your incisions look intact, but the fact that they are red may be a sign of infection. It would be best for you to contact you plastic surgeon. It is normal to have some discomfort when you raise you arm. This will loosen up over time. Hope your recovery is otherwise uneventful.
It is very common that the scar looks pink/red in the first few months after surgery before it begins to fade. However, redness into the skin, like you have toward the armpit, should be evaluated by your plastic surgeon. Call the office for an appointment as they will best be able to evaluate in person.
