Arm lift with lateral lift and BA - feel free to ask me anything

I’m happy with my scar placement although my skin is to tight in the armpit area and I’m having a hard time. It’s torn a little and trying to get it to heal but with some movement it tears it . The Dr said we might have to go back in and cut it into a V which not sure why this wasn’t done in the first place. My arms are tender been trying to massage them and started placing the scar tape on today.. I have started back to the gym and working my arms lightly. I notice I get tired quickly. I’m going back to work in a week so I need to get back in shape for I work a very physical job. Little worried! I think my Dr did a good job on my arms but my breasts are still not the same size and don’t understand why he didn’t fix that especially since I talked to him about it before surgery. I’ve noticed he lacks communication before and after surgery. Not the type to tell you what and why he did certain things in surgery. Good surgeon but communication he lacks. Anyway I’m finally sleeping in bed now and that’s a little hard. Staying positive I know there will be a day I will be so happy I’ve done all this. $$$$

More mobility now which is nice. Been trying to take walks around the block . My breasts are still somewhat uncomfortable I still have no bra or compression garments so I walk slowly. Still wrapping and unwrapping my arms as often as I can get help. Wearing oversized button up shirts and stretch pants . I need help with the shirts I can’t put my arms back enough to get them on. I’m trying to do as much for myself as possible. I’ve managed to put my recliner up with my foot which yes I’ve slept in this whole time haha the breasts are still tender I think I’ve irritated the tissue along the incisions doing my massages it’s very tender. I did NOT expect this uncomfortable with the breast. Think it’s because the way my Dr chose to do the lateral lift. I’m sure it will be worth it in the long run with nice results

Got the drains out a couple days ago. I now have to have someone wrap my arms up with ace bandages 3 times a day. Ya we switch it a couple times a day haha been doing this since I got the drains out glad to get rid of them pesky things. Still pretty tight! I have managed to shower on my own with sitting on a chair for a few tasks. I was really sore after this though a lot of stretching etc probably to much . I felt good though to have my hair washed etc . I wash the incisions quickly and make sure they are completely dry especially under the arm area. Little more mobility but the breast area is still tight and sore.
