Arm Lift - armpits not healing well

December 4, 2015
Asked By:25jules in Ontario, ON

I am three weeks post op and the arm pit scar where it joins remains open a bit. The rest of my scars are healing well. I am use silicone tape and it is helping to flatten things out. I am wondering if there are any ideas to encourage closure.
