Hi, I had a an arm lift done in harley street...
Hi, I had a an arm lift done in harley street london 10 weeks ago to date and after having a post op check up yesterday have been left feeling very disappointed. I found out that what I assumed was swelling and fluid still, is actually fat pockets that will remain so I am very unhappy with the shape the op has left my arms. Because it is still early days was hadnt bn worried about the shape as I thought is would improve as the healing process went on but now I am concerned that this is how my arms will remain. My surgeon didnt seem to concerned with the shape and seemed happy with how things were, just saying he could remove a dog ear if it doesnt settle down by the 10 month mark. He said he was very reluctant to touch the elbow because of a nerve that runs round it so lipo can be dangerous. I understand this but feel he sould not have taken so much fat from the kiddle of the arm if he could not balance the shape ? I am really worried this is how I am going to be left
Thankyou
Thankyou

I hope your arms improve. Did you wear a compression garment, that might make a difference. Good luck. Keep us posted.
Yeah I did, I found them very uncomfortable though. Pins and neddles in my fingers etc [RS bleep]
Sounds like it was too tight. I am also not happy with my results either and am hoping that they will improve.
Good luck [RS bleep]
Hi, I wore my compression garment 24/7 for 6 weeks and arms a very small. I will post pics later today. Sorry to hear you are not happy with your results.
My hips look the same after a tummy tuck!! Definitely get second, third and even fourth opinions, because I think you have hope. I'm going for my revision to snip the excess fat and skin at the end of Oct.
How did u go? I myself and having the same problem with areas on my arms
Hi. I had this done a week ago and I haven't got a compression garment for my arms. I'm confused.
Use a compression garment that will stay up on your arm and not roll down and re-arrange your fat distribution.
My consultant hasn't said anything about a compression garment. Never heard of it.
Wow! I had this procedure done over a year ago and had a compression garment. I agree, you need to get one even if they don't provide one.
Thank you for your help.
