I am 3 months postop after brachioplasty with liposuction. At about 2 months post op my right hand and arm was significantly swollen. Had wrist to axillary ultrasound to rule out blood clots. Surgeon has recommended full arm sleeve and glove compression. But fingers and hand get more swollen with this on. Miserable!
There are bumps on both arms on the incision line. I had one removed by my Primary care physician a month ago. Now I have 5 more. I am 3 months post op. I have called my Board certified PS but no answer. The hospital said my PS was no longer associated with them. My question is will these bumps ( I think they are stitches) go away on their own or do I have to go through the pain of having them removed by my Primary Care physician?
I had brachioplasty a 12 weeks ago and my scars have gotten wider and redder as time goes on. I did have major arm lipo with the brachioplasty. Compressed them with tensors for 6 weeks and I keep out of the sun. I just feel the scar is very jagged and scary looking. I feel super self conscience about it. Should I get laser or other scar therapies or get the scar revised?
I had arm lift surgery 3 months ago. I understood there would be a scar and the scar is not the real issue here. I really hate that the scar is visible in the back of my arm. Could this be redone and scar turn in under the arm more? If so, how long should i wait before trying to have it corrected? (I had makeup over it that toned down the scar and the reddness.) I did not want to deal with hiding a scar with makeup or anything else, I hid my large arms long enough. Any other suggestions?
I had under arms lipo more than three months ago. I had these concerns at 4 weeks but was told to let them heal on their on. Now two more months have gone by nothing changed. What should I do, please advise!
I had my arm lift surgery on September 9th. My arms looks great but my scar is not flat and wide. Is there anything I could do at 11 weeks out to flatten my scar and shrink it ? Do I need a scar revision ? Plus if I do a scar revision will I get the same results ?
I've had a weight loss of almost 200 pounds, 9 months post TT and BA, 3 months post brachioplasty. I am pleased with the results, mostly. I still have what I call the quadriboob. Those two pockets of fat and skin between the breast and armpit. Surgeon says skin is crepe-like and he couldn't do anything. I trust him but I'm looking for a second opinion since the excess still bulges out of clothes. I'd love to wear a bikini top, now that I have the body, but this stops me. Help?
