I had my surgery done May 7, 2016. The doctor did lipo and then cut the loose skin. I was always suffering with my arms because no blouse would ever fit. I am happy with the procedure and I am waiting to go back to normal.
I also had back liposuction. It has been a little over 3 weeks and I am still swollen. I do not really think it is that painful. I am just uncomfortable. I have been wearing a compression garment that covers arms, back, and butt which I do not need but easier to manage being one piece.

It has been 7 weeks since the surgery and the scars look a lot better. The pain is minimal most of the time. The only issue is that the compression garment i purchased causes me forearm pain in my right arm.. maybe it is the wrong size...
I keep using the scar away silicone strips all the time and massage the arms often with scar cream.

Do you think the silicone strips are worth it? What kind are you using? And what scar cream are you using.? You look great!!!

Thanks!! I am not really sure about the silicone strips but they do have good reviews so I'm using them. I bought scar away because they are self adhesive and I'm really allergic to surgical tape. These do not bother my skin. The cream I use is called Sodermix.

Your arms look great! I'm researching having mine done. How did you find Dr Rojas? Does he have a web site to view more of his work? Thanks!

He did my cousin's whole body lipo and it was really good. His webpage is under construction but you can email him and he can send you pictures. His email is aldemarrojas@hotmail.com. Also you can find him on www.cirugiaplastica.org.co.
