Mini Arm Lift

UPDATED FROM pinkredlisa
22 days post

3 weeks post op

$5
I have full range of motion but I also have a neroma which has been drained 3 times. My doctor says they are fairly uncommon in arm lifts but it happened to me. Other than that they feel good and the scars are getting less prominent. I seem to have full range of motion in both arms

Your arms look amazing!! How much do they charge?
I believe it was $3200 I also had a tummy tuck and liposuction. They are very quick to answer emails
$3200 for everything?
Hang in there , one thing I have learned is on Real Self is that eventually people get through the ups and downs and forks in the roads to their recovery
I'm st 6 weeks and still get reminders from my body that I'm still healing
Thank you for your encouragement! Are you lifting weights yet? What do you do that reminds you you are still healing so I can avoid that. I asked about doing planks instead of crunches and that type of at work and they told me another month which will mean 8 weeks post-surgery
I would be careful with your arm left because any tension that's put on the incision will cause the scars to spread open or widen I have some areas that did that and I take full responsibility for it because after my surgery my daughter had a baby and I kept picking up the baby and holding the baby and rocking the baby and I went back to work at two weeks with a car that had a tight steering wheel so every time I would have to turn and park I could feel myself pulling on my scars assign is if it hurts it's probably too much I also found myself rolling onto my side and sleeping on my sides which would cause the tissue in my arms to spread out pulling to putting tension on my arm incisions so my advice is try not to sleep on your arms tucked under your sides and you can always work out later do you want to try to get the best results on the look of your scars first which to me is a minimal of like two months
I believe the outside scar looks like it's healed before you really see that the deeper is tissues have had time to really heal and close with some good tough scar tissue.
My belly button has been having a little bit of drainage coming out of it no odor for six weeks but has gotten less and less every few days and my surgeon told me that that's normal though some people it heals in two weeks everybody is different everybody is unique
Again, you are the most helpful person on here. Thank you for your good advise!
I caught myself standing up straight on day 2 after tummy tuck and doc said if it didn't hurt, that was probably ok. Glad to know some leaking at 6 weeks is normal. I was supposed to have my belly button sewn up Monday then Tuesday then today and still leaking too much for them to do it. I am very discouraged although it could be much worse... I could have an infection or necrosis or opening in big incision.
I have been sleeping on my side but I think my arm is out instead of under me. I'll try to pay attention.
How does your body look? Your new butt? I am bigger than before I started but hopeful it is just swelling.
Thank you again for your informative advise!
No, tummy tuck with Lipo and muscle repair $5,500 including everything. Some doctors charge extra for anesthesia and the operating room and with the garments and the medications. Dr. Rosenstock charges one price that includes everything
Are you still happy with the results of your mini arm lift and tummy tuck? I can’t see any pictures other than the before and very soon after. Thank you
Hello Jacqui, How was the final results of the arm tuck? I am been trying to find someone who would do the mini arm tuck

Gotta learn to proof read before posting...I can't edit.
What happened after operation ?
ORIGINAL POST

I kept reading the arm pit only incision arm lift...

I kept reading the arm pit only incision arm lift wasn't effective but I was unwilling to have a scar all the way down to my elbow. I lift weights and had good muscles, but old crepey skin. My doc had another solution - a scar that comes down the arm just a few inches. We will see if this works, I haven't seen one like it on realself.
I also had a tummy tuck, so so.e of the photos show that, too

Please keep me posted ... I have the same issues mostly just creepy arms and don't want that long scar. I am in Miami, Florida Where is your Dr.?
I came to Costa Rica for tummy tuck and had arms done, too. I would do the arms locally, but NO WAY would I do a big surgery in the US. The care I receive here is phenomenal...daily nursing care
Thanks...keep us updated with your healing & result :)
Sure will. I had no compression garments and seem to have full range of motion, but haven't tried to windmill back behind my head yet...the rest just happened by accident
Your after photos look quite good! A big difference to before. I think you will be happy when you are completely healed. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thanks, I'm pretty happy about it. I didn't know there was anything between a full arm lift and one with the scar was completely hidden
That's a really good result for a scar that small, it looks great, are you pleased with it?
Who was your doctor?
