Few months later
Here are my updated pictures after a few months. I am pretty happy with the results. The scars are minimal and not easily seen. I’m still glad I did it! I have had a lot more confidence going in tank tops and swim suits.
Airsculpt+ for Arms
Airsculpt + Experience on Arms
I read some posts before doing the surgery and it helped me feel better about the choice. I wanted to provide my experience for others who also might be worrying or anxious. I am currently two days post surgery.
They called in my medications the day before which I picked up and brought with me at their request. I got to the office and filled out the rest of the forms. The nurse brought me back to pre-op. She had me take a pregnancy test and change into the disposable black bra/underwear set you usually see in the photos and a robe. She took my vitals and weighed me. I had to take of the robe to be weighed which was to be expected. I sat and waited for about five minutes for the doctor to come in. She gave me a bag with extra pads, a t-shirt, and instructions for recovery.
When he came in he had me take the robe off and stand in front of the mirror to talk about expectations and what he thought we could accomplish. He had me stand in front of the wall for pictures. He took pictures of me facing him with my arms up, both sides with my arms up, and back with my arms out. Then he marked up my arms with a blue marker thing. He had me put the robe back on and told me they were prepping the room.
About three to five minutes later, they brought me to the room. The nurse did her checks, and then gave me a cup with antibiotics, Tylenol, and Valium. She then gave me a shot of Demerol. She asked about my experience with laughing gas and that it would be used while he numbed my arms. She put a blood pressure cuff on my ankle, and monitor on my toe.
He came in after a few minutes and started prepping. She gave me the laughing gas and told me to take 10 deep breaths. After about 5-6, I definitely felt it. The rest of this is as best as I can recall with the laughing gas lol he had my arm and said I would feel a little pinch. I honestly don't remember if I felt anything or not. If I did it wasn't anything more than a little pinch. I was very loopy during this time but I felt the saline at times running into my hair. He filled my arms with mix of saline, lidocaine, and epinephrine (I think is what she said) which numbed my arms completely. They were swole lol I felt like Popeye after a can of spinach.
They let it work it's magic for what felt like a few minutes but was about 10-15. He then came in and began the procedure. I was given the laughing gas for the entire thing so I remember going in and out of lucid thoughts. I felt no pain. The only way I can describe it was I felt movement under the skin. I was still able to move my arms as he needed me to and switching hands for the laughing gas.
The whole procedure from the start of pre-op to being done was about 45-50 minutes. Once I was done, she slowly sat me up and my arms started draining. Like where the holes were it was pouring out a bit. She helped me get the garment on with the pads to catch the draining. I put my clothes back on and walked to the recovery room where she checked my vitals. After a few minutes, I walked out and met my husband. We walked out together to the car and headed home.
Recovery is what they promised. It's been pretty easy. They gave me an antibiotic, a pain killer, and anti-nausea medication. I was told I could start the pain medication later that night and the antibiotic the next day. The pain was minimal. I slept like a rock. The next day I was a little sore but I didn't need anything more than over the counter pain reliever. I work from home and was fine working one day post-op.
Today I got to shower which was nice. I’m a little more sore today, the second day, but it’s still very tolerable.
Overall I am super happy I did it. It was not as scary or painful as I thought it would be. I cannot wait to see the results!!
