I'm on day 3 after my mini arm lift which was done with twilight anesthesia. I was told that after 48 hours, I could briefly remove my compression garment for a sponge bath. When I tried to take it off, I felt a very sharp nerve pinching pain on one of my elbow areas that also was a tingly, so I kept the garment on. I'm wondering if that area is infected? My garment was also unable to be closed up all the way right after the surgery (swelling and breast size maybe).
