I am 7 weeks out of Bracioplasty.. My arms are still tight, tender & fluid retention in inner elbows & also developing keloids. Ive been reading on scar or arm massage. Can you send a video or explain the correct way to do massage without aggrevating the condition. Also is it too early to start massage therapy?
I had a brachioplasty 5 weeks ago. I know there is still swelling. The underneath of my arms still shake when I move them. If enough skin was removed, wouldn't this area be tighter even though I am still healing. I had a tummy tuck and I could see the dog ears early in the healing process and this never went away. Will the shaking of the arms subside? I do see improvement with the arms but feel more should have been removed.
For the past few days the brachioplasty scar on my left arm is feeling very tight, especially when I'm sleeping, is this normal? A little background - I had brachioplasty in December followed two weeks later by emergency surgery to reopen my left arm to treat acute compartment syndrome which caused nerve damage (brachioplexus injury) - that's healing but the crushing pain has recently returned as well. Scars are hypertrophic scars and I've had steroid injections, last one was two months ago.
Hi can good lipo do the trick or is having a scar my only option? Also I was born with these indentations; however ironically the skin around that area is fairly tight. Also I was heavier in the past and lost weight; however my arms (well the indents/rolls have seemed to become more defined not in a good way :/ Ive searched this site endlessly and have not come across anyone with arms like mine. Thanks for your time in advance!
Had an extended brachioplasty done a week ago. Last day antibiotics a couple days ago and since then lots of swelling tightness and tingling in upper arm to point compression feels like cuts off wrist circulation. I am icing and elevating arms. Any other ideas or concerns re this

I am on day 10 after brachioplasty with liposuction and I am still experiencing a burning sensation in both arms. With walking longer in duration than 10 minutes, my arms begin to feel tight and I have tingling Sensations in the forearm and wrist, with tightness and burning in the upper arm.
Severe pain and swelling in right forearm, called superficial phlebitis by surgeon, NOT resolving since May 11. 2017. Milder case on left arm.I am terrified this will be permanent in my right arm and I will have this pain and disfigurement of a swollen forearm when goal was arm reduction. Plus my forearms were always slender! My upper arm incision on right feels very tight, forearm always hurts, worse with any activity. Surgeon recommend no compression, still has not. I am afraid of permanence !
