Seroma

So I wanted to update and say I ended up with a seroma. I just felt really swollen, heavy and tight so I called the office. They sent me to the on call because my PS was out of town. The on call ps turned out to be one of the other surgeons I consulted with (akward). Anyways he aspirated some fluid and told me to f/u w/ my PS. I asked what happened he said it's very common and a lot of times after the drains come out we end up moving around more being more active so we make more fluid than we did when the drains were taken out so then the pocket develops :( So I asked would it need to be drained again and he said to be honest most likely yes maybe a few times, and rarely do they need surgical repIr!

Arms

I haven't posted any arm pics yet, but this is how they look now. I ended up on getting a mini incision arm lift and vaser lipo. My PS said the full incision wasn't needed. My arms are not as small as expected, but I guess with time they will retract from swelling/ lipo. If not I can address it with him down the road.
