Hi everyone! How are you? I got arm lift surgery and I believe fat was left over in my left arm. I can pinch it, jiggle it, you name it! I showed my surgeon but he said “it’s only so much he can do and the gym should fix it”. I was upset about that reply because it was a costly procedure to have mismatch results. I don’t think he wants to do it but am I going to need a revision?
Answer: Revision Unfortunately, you have not told us how long post-operatively you are. I always recommend waiting 6 months from the date of surgery before doing any revisions. You would benefit from a revision. At the time of revision, liposuction and scar revision can be performed.

Answer: Early To Tell Based on the apparent time frame of the above photos it seems a bit early to tell. However, in all body contouring procedures, including arms, the risk of revision is always there because of existing preoperative asymmetry, the length of the scars, and the poor elasticity of the tissues. The good things is that revisionary surgery is typically rather easy and your surgeon will likely work with you on the cost.

Answer: Arms First, you are very early in the healing process and do have swelling. You have two different arms and they may not swell to the same extent. Second, only so much skin can be removed safely since swelling does occur. We do not want to cut off circulation to the lower arm and hand. Give yourself time to heal. At 6 months, then discuss any concerns you have with your surgeon.

Answer: Do I need a revision? It's difficult to tell from the photos, but it appears your surgery may be recent. You will want to wait six months for the tissues to settle and the scar to mature before determining if a revision would be beneficial.

Answer: Hello Hello, thank you for asking, from the photos it seems that you have very little time since surgery, to be able to determine if you need a revision of the surgery, at least 3 months must pass, to see if there is still plenty of skin, if more liposuction is required, Currently, a lot of inflammation can be seen in that photo. thank you.
