I am 2-1/2 weeks post-op extended arm lift and am still pretty sore. Have been having nerve pain so my PS gave me a script for neurontin, which seems to helping some. My incision looks pretty good. Parts of look like it's been way longer than a couple weeks. They gave me Biocorneum to use when more of the surgical glue comes off. My Dr doesn't use drains or compression sleeves either. I was in ace wraps until my 2nd post-op appt the other day.
By the way, I meant to start this reply with, You look great!

Hi there and thank you. I used the biocornium also and it worked great. I was sore at the times when I was using my arms. Trying to shower and wash my hair made me sore. But trust me, it does get better. The scars will get way better too. I don’t recall having any nerve pain in my arms but as long as the script is helping then that’s great!!!! You’ll be loving your new arms come spring and summer. The scars in my pit area did widen but I’m ok with it. Keep me updated on your progress bethelbee. :)

Thanks for your reply! I know the scars will get better. I just started using the Biocorneum this morning. The nerve pain is like a burning pain; luckily it's getting better!! Just feel swollen and tight and I know that will lessen and go away. The weirdest feeling is the numbness i feel when I touch the incision area. That may last a while. Sleeping is a little more comfortable. Can't wait til I can sleep on my side again! I think I'm almost there.
Will keep you posted.
Will keep you posted.

That numbness in the incision area is a very weird feeling. I still have it at 21 months post op.

2nd treatment with embrace scar strips
mxcnizJune 14, 2016
I have started using the embrace scar strip therapy. This is my second session and all I can say is WOW!!! They have flattened and lightened up so much that by my 6th session they should be hardly noticable. I will say embrace is not cheap by no means, if you can somehow swing it, you will be glad you did. I'm the pictures you will see how after having them on, the glue on the edges collects everything. Lol. Its not dirt. Haha

Just a quick before and right now pic, side by side
mxcnizJune 3, 2016
Just looking thru some pictures and I wanted to do a side by side picture of my Boobs before and now being 3 weeks post op. Even though they need to drop and come in closer together, I'm in love. Glad me and my Dr went with the 600's. I would have regretted going smaller.

I had my arm/back lift on 6/1 and my arms and back feels like I was scrubbed with a cheese grater. I will be fine.

It's because of the lipo I'm sure. When do you get to take bandages off? Do you have drains and are you going to have to wear compression sleeves? My arms are still little swollen and the get the tight feeling at times but it's such a great trade off. I can't wait to see your arms. Hang in there it will get better quickly!! :)

Hope your doing well you look great.

Thank you goodlookin. I'm doing well, thank you. :)
I've started my scar therapy on my arms about 2-3 weeks ago and after using the embrace only twice, omg what a difference. My scars were actually starting to flatten out nicely before I started. I have the strips on right now but when they come off in the next few days I will take some pictures.
My boobs are starting to drop more, slowly, but I'm loving them. Just wish the nipples weren't so damn sensitive. Lol. At times it's slightly painful. Hope all is well with you.

I'm fine just in the waiting stage. Taking care of my Mom who just had surgery on ankle. Glad to hear about the scar therapy. I think when it's my turn I'll splurge for embrace . Sorry about the nipple pain. Had horrible nipple pain when I first nursed my son. A sensitive spot.
I'm going to be getting a bbl done in march in Miami then I'm going to have Dr Elllen do my tummy tuck in July.
Hope your recovery goes well the rest of the way for you! :)
