How it works

- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

6weeks later
It’s been just over 6 weeks since I had my arms done and I am so happy with the results! The scars are fading and the “dog ear” on the inside of my left elbow has flattened a lot. I started using scar cream after my 4 week visit and do massage on my scars to break down the scar tissue.
I do notice some pulling as I extend my reach, but that makes sense. I expect that will go away as the healing continues.
Dr. Schaffer said I don’t have to use the compression sleeves unless I notice some swelling. I was only taking it off to shower and it was always such an “aaahhhh” moment to get that off.
I’ll go back ito see Dr Schaffer in a month.

Pictures - week 4
I’ve got a Lot more flexibility in my arms and was told I could start the scar cream now. Most of the scars on my arms are fairly light anyway. I do have a small ‘dog ear’ but I am using massage and scar cream to break that scar tissue down and I’m already seeing improvement. Still faithfully wearing compression garments except when in the shower. I do love the feeling when I take it off for a few minutes!
Pictures - 2 and 3 weeks after
The steri- steps hung on to week 3. I would trim off the loose parts. I so pleased with the size of my arms. When I would look at myself in the mirror before surgery- they are the size I expected (prayed) they would be. The scar lines are perfectly placed too.
