I have had an arm lift about 2 weeks ago and I'm currently using a compression garment which covers my arms only, however it's rubbing on my armpit scars so I have bought some compression bandages instead and this has stopped the rubbing is this OK? Or does it literally have to be the compression garment that I have to wear for this procedure

Answer: Arm lift arm reduction arm liposuction brachioplasty excess arm skin arm fat arm compression garment arm compression bandage Hi Lilhead,Thank you for your question about arm lift compression garments. Until the entire arm lift incision has healed, I would use compression bandages. This may take two to four weeks after you arm lift. Once the arm lift incision has healed, I have my patients wear an arm lift compression garment. If the garment rubs in the arm pit, place a pad to protect the incision. After an arm lift, I have my patients wear an arm compression garment for six to eight weeks. Arm garments help to flatten the arm lift scar, reduce swelling, and accelerate healing. Thank you for your question regarding arm lift compression garments and arm lift compression bandages. If you have any further questions regarding arm compression garments, please call my office.Sincerely, Dr. Katzen

Answer: Any form of compression works Hi, I just added a link that might be helpfulHi. Difficult to answer with certainty since the extent of your lift and scars are unknown. However, as long as you are controlling the swelling, any garment or wrap should be sufficient. You are correct in that irritation on the scar should be avoided. Check with your plastic surgeon as well. Good luck,

Answer: Compression garments for arms It is important that adequate compression be achieved to minimize recovery time and promote good scarring. The exact garment is less important. I would take both garments in to have your plastic surgeon evaluate - perhaps the first garment can be modified to avoid the armpit. Best of luck, Dr. Meghan Nadeau, Seattle, WA
