10 Years After BAD Arm Lipo, Doing the Arm Lift on Tuesday the 18th.

Well, Im at a week tomo. The PS said he's keeping the tape on the incision for one more week. Last surgery they were removed when he pulled the drains, at one week. As my elbows and armpits weren't cut I am not concerned yet of openings/splitting. The extra week with the surgical tape on the incisions will help them to heal and hopefully not open. I know you have to be very vigilant with this part of recovery. I wish I had posted at my Oct surgery how long I was in compression. I can't believe its only been one week. YIKES! I need to vent this out. Even the PS admitted its a long recovery and that my incisions DID look pristine. I was so close to having this behind me, but to Dr Feingold it wasn't perfect and perfect is what we're after here. He's so kind and through. He did more than he was obligated to do. I got my moneys worth, thats for sure. Initially my surgery was almost 11K. Now Ive had 2 for the price of one. I would recommend him without any doubt. Ill post if anything changes. Have a good week. You where Ill be.....until next weeks office visit.

Hi everyone. I seas in surgery Thursday for more tightening, lipo to remove the old lipo horror and some fat graft to one very deep dent from 10 years ago. I have no drains. Im in ace bandages AGAIN. Only one arm pit has been cut into and its not pulling. YAY! Im taking my pain meds every 4 hrs. Hey I have no need to suffer. Fingers and forearms are swollen this time. Not last. I rpob should keep them elevated but whatever. This being the 2nd go round in 5 months Im much more relaxed and know what to do and what not to do. Its a long process and I am impatient. I was even going through laser treatments to make the scars invisible and now back to square one. Oh well, Ill heal and start the process all over again. I was hoping by Summer Id be wearing sleeveless but this is not going to be the case. In June Ill start laser again. It takes 3 months of healing to precede with laser. SO, to all my old buddies and newbies, Im hear to say the pain isnt bad. Im just frustrated. Those of us who have had this done know its a LONG healing process. As I am still wrapped and haven't revealed I have no pictures. All I can see is deep purple above the right ace bandage.

Ive been feeling the burn and tingling from surgery now for a few weeks. This didn't start PO but around week 3 or 4. I don't like this feeling. Pain meds, Advil hasn't helped. I had read somewhere that vibration helps. I pulled out an old electric toothbrush and buzzed through the ace bandages. Immediatley I felt a huge relief. Seriously? Yes.
