Arm Lift (Round 1) Thigh Lift (Round 2) - Modesto, CA

Week 4 and my arms are still slowly taking shape. No pain. Some tenderness around the incision. Currently wearing the compression garments. My doc said I need to wear them for months 24/7. The swelling can cause skin to hang if I dont wear them. I worry about my right arm. I feel it is too flabby for 4 weeks post op. Time will tell.
Post op visit went well.

Day 5 post op thigh lift. Well , I am walking around with my Cane instead of the Walker. It is still hard to get up with ease from the chair. I have to use a lot of upper body strength to get up along with using the cane. The bathroom situation is currently the same. Go Girl is still my bff. I started icing both thighs to help with swelling. I do struggle to put on the compression garment.
As far as for the drains, I empty them 3x a day my self.
Incisions are still in tact. I don't see any complications. Except I do feel I am allergic to the antibiotics they rx. I will need to message my PS to change meds.
Thank God I still have my daughter here to help.

Today was my 2 day follow up. My PA took all the surgery tape off. Ohhhh Lawd that was an experience. Esp around groin area. Painful. I really wish there was an easier way to remove any kind of adhesive off the skin. She was really shocked on all everything looked so good. Incisions look good. I had very little bruising. I wander if it is because I started taking Arnica a few days before surgery.
I will continue to drain fluids for a least another week. I can shower now. I just need to figure out how to hold the drains up that I have. I started to wear my compression garment over my ace bandage. Idk. Maybe too much. But I needed to try it on. I order a few thigh compression Capris form amazon. They seem to be working. Still very tired. Time for a nap.
