Only 3 weeks post op and looking great!
LOOK AT THE INCISION AND PLACEMENT OF INCISION!!!! AMAZING!!!! 3 weeks and 3 days after surgery and the incision looks amazing!! I am a little too active, so I am still experiencing swelling, and still padding my armpits to avoid friction. Friction does not feel fun! BUT WOW!!!! I can only take a selfie using one hand (still do not have full mobility), but I'll be posting more!
Insanely HAPPY!! Why did I wait?
Surgery done! I went for it! I had the most amazing surgical team. The entire process was seamless. The IV was started on the first stick! Dr. Vartany did some markings and then Dr. Shahani gave some "feel good" medicine to me through my IV. I can remember being rolled into the OR and being asked to scootch over. Then Dr. Shahani said, "take a nice deep breath of my special oxygen". Lights OUT!
Now I am waking up with nurse, Lynette, attending to my every need and ensuring my comfort. My pain level was a 3. No catheter was needed. Each of my arms were bandaged up with latex free ace bandages. There were pads carefully taped over my armpit area. I was comfortable.
After getting home, I was asked by my sister-in-law why I didn't have "one of those compression garments on?". Dr. Vartany is a genius. He did an "L" shaped incision to get the best contours and results. Armpits are notorious for complications and openings and/or infections. Leaving the "pits" open to breath and stay cool and dry avoided those issues!! I was getting the compression that I needed with the ace bandages, they were WAY easier to remove and put back on AND plenty of air circulating to avoid warm or moist areas that could potentially create a problem. PERFECT!
What has surprised me so far? I am 13 days post surgery now. The incision is so tight, clean and perfectly placed to barely be noticeable. From the back, you cannot see it. From the front, you cannot see it. And, when I show it, it is such a fine, thin line. Plastic Surgery Perfection! I got my #bodybyvartany and I am beyond thrilled so far. I'll post more pictures soon.

Dr. Vartany Did an AMAZING Job on my Arms!!!
I am ready for my #bodybyvartany
6 days post op!!
I have hated my arms for what seems like FOREVER. I have been so self-conscious! I have not worn a sleeveless or capped sleeve ANYTHING since I was in my 20's! After being pregnant with twins AND ending up in a wheelchair for many months (broken hips), all of my pregnancy weight and weight gain from inactivity really had me at maximum capacity. My skin was stretched to the point that I had stretch marks everywhere.
I have had other skin excision procedures to try and gain back a more youthful figure, but the arms had me scared. I wouldn't be able to hide the scar! It's so long! Well, it has taken YEARS for me to figure out that I would much rather have a line down my arm....THE SCAR....instead of this hanging, crepey, stretchmark covered slab that waves goodbye long after I am done.
Remember, I didn't want the wobbly chunk to show, so no cap sleeves or sleeveless. But, sometimes, I wouldn't be able to wear normal clothing because all of the skin would not fit into a regular sleeve. I was bound to clothes with stretch. Limited! OR, I always had to have a cover-up. Cute, sleeveless dress? Covering it with a light sweater or shawl! Sleeves too short? Covering! Super hot summer days? Didn't matter. At least a 3/4" sleeve.
