I’m 8 weeks post op on my arm lift. I’m using Contractubex gel. Do I still use my garment? I still think my arms are big (Photo)

Hi, 
I think your arms look great for 8 weeks.
If your right hand is dominant than you may expect to see that your right arm is thicker-wider than your left, which is completely normal.
Excision of too much skin may result in very high pressure wound closure with the increased risks of 
Compartment syndrome and compression related vasculation and sensation problems.Deformation with constriction and disproportionally narrow armScar widening
Therefore I highly recommend conservative arm-lift (brachioplasty) and perform revisions as needed.
Best wishes,

Swelling after an armlift can last up to six months or even a year.  Induration and hardness are components of the normal healing process. Silicone sheets, Mederma, and Bicorneum are reasonable and popular options for treating scars. I recommend that the scar therapy begin after the scars have healed and there are no open areas, which usually takes 4 - 6 weeks.  Contractubex and Mederma have almost identical active components, except Contractubex contains heparin.  My patients use ace bandages and they seem to work fine; compression garments can a bit tight and uncomfortable at times.  Best to follow your PS's advise.
