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

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?

I'm st 6 weeks and still get reminders from my body that I'm still healing
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
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!
