Arms healed and looking awesome!

My arms have healed up and the scars are fading. The embrace silicone tape works wonders to keep the scars from widening. I used them for 3 months. Make sure to ask your surgeon when it is ok to start applying them or similar. The small hole that reopened healed up fine but took several weeks so just be aware it takes time. Still waiting for my armpit area to turn white (scars still pink) but this take a number of months. Can exercise fully with weights and machines now without issue so doing that at the gym. Extremely happy with my results. Even my tattoos came out straight! My favorite coat fits wonderfully now plus my arms fit my figure.

I'm 3 weeks post op and this happened to me. I'm dying because I can't do anything. It started less then a week ago. I've been wet packing per surgeons instructions. How long till I see it heal?

Arm pit hole still trying to close
avngalAugust 23, 2019
Waiting for this arm pit hole to heal is like watching paint dry. My wound seems a bit bigger probably due to every day movements. I cannot say for certain butI I think I see new tissue forming inside of the hole. I see my plastic surgeon for a regular follow up next week.

Seeing these photos scare me about having this done. Question: Have you been doing anything strenuous? When did you go back to work? What did the surgeon say caused this? Your last post on the 4th stated you were contacting him to have it assessed, now this post dated the 23rd.

Hello, yes I did have my arm pit hole assessed soon after it happened. Apparently this is a very common complication along the transverse incision area of the arm pit. I was told my would would heal by secondary intention, to keep it open in the air and wash it twice a day with just soap and water. If it turns cheery red and hot to call for antibiotics but this has thankfully NOT happened. I believe how this happened was from me pulling my SUV trunk lid down a few times before realizing this was a strain for the area. I see my surgeon this Tuesday for a recheck. He did not seem very concerned about my wound and neither am I. It is more of an annoyance because it takes much longer to heal a wound from the inside out and our arm pits are known for having a poor blood supply in the first place. I hope my response helps you.
