Two and a half months ago, I had an arm lift. My right arm is still very tight-feeling and sore near the scar. Immediately after surgery, my doctor was honest and said that he had had trouble closing the arm and therefore went more modest on my left arm. I have been receiving professional massages on my arms for nearly a month at his direction. The banding has improved, but the tension still remains. Will the skin stretch to feel normal? Has it been pulled too tight?
