I've always struggled with large arms. After having weight loss surgery and losing 97 pounds, my arms were still and issue. My online consult was initially for a breast augmentation with an areola lift (my breasts suffered from my weight loss as well) and an arm lift. Dr. Sozer suggested Lipo to the lateral chest and to the arms as he said that it looked like I still had too much fatty tissue for an arm lift. However, at the face-to-face consult, he stated that the hanging portion of my arms were mostly skin with minimal tissue so I decided to have an arm lift. Best decision I could've made.

What was recovery like for your arms?

Well, I'm only 9 days post op and it's been tough. I seem to have slowed my recovery down by having to go back to work after only 1 week and I also had a set back due to an allergic reaction to adhesive... I'll try and update tomorrow or this weekend before my next appointment on Monday.

I hope you turn a corner on this. I am interested and glad you mentioned the allergic reaction to adhesive. I usually have that.

A zip up sports bra, one that's easy to get in and out of with out having to be a contortionist with your arms, a zip up hoodie or sports sweater, something with a full zipper and pockets in case you have drains. Some wipes/cleansing cloths for "sponge baths". Ice packs for your arms afterwards.

I am feeling super sore today. My range of motion is very limited and everyday things are difficult to do. I was not given any compression sleeves for some reason, but I bought some at the local mall. I'm a little scared to look at my incisions and don't know if I could even see them without a hand held mirror. Dr. Sozer sent me home without any bandages, gauze or tape covering my incisions. When I got back to my hotel I had my boyfriend place some Curad absorbent pads along my incision line in case it bled out. I worried that if that happened it would get stuck to my surgical bra and be pretty painful.
