I am about 5 hours away from seoul for a few months and would like to have armlist surgery while I am here. Are you pleased? Would like doctor recommendation? How long would I be in seoul for treatment?

Hi! How are you? Are you still wearing the compression sleeves? I have to wear mine for another week. I have a small area that's giving me issues in my armpit. I hope you're doing well!

Hey chick!! Yes I have another week of wearing the CG. My swelling is almost gone I still have some numbness. I'm having some issues with my right arm by my arm pit a small opening but it's better just healing slow. My arms are still a lil lumpy where the incision is but I'm being told it will improve over time. You looking good and I'm glad you're well boo!!

It's so good to hear your doing well! :D It seems as though we're healing at the same rate! I've got the same opening on my right arm pit! It doesn't hurt and it isn't infected but it does creep me out! Lol!!

So far so good! The swelling is the worst part of this entire process! I got my stitches removed from the left arm and some from the right arm. My left side is healing extremely fast compared to my right side. I'm curious to see how it all looks when the swelling goes away!! Ughhhh I feel like my fingers are going to pop as I type lol. I hope it goes away soon!!!

I can sympathize,my right hand healed faster than my left. I have prominent scars on left but not right. I think it's because i am right handed. The swelling does go down within 5 week or so. I heard arnica tea helps for swelling,pineapple juice,coconut water,drink plenty of fluids all day 8 glasses if possible,you have to stay hydrated,also walk it helps with swelling and no sodium. Hope this helps a little bit. Happy Healing.

Thank you, in my prayers for healing... Can't wait to have mine done...

Your arms look AMAZING!!!!!! :D Wow! Your Dr did an awesome job on closing you up! I can tell your scar will be minimal and looks like you'll have a smooth result. Did your PS use stitches? I have glue on my arms...

July 22, 2014

My doc used stitches. Girl the swelling is killing me I'm like ughhhhhh. Your looking really good too!!!!

July 25, 2014

I had the same issue with swelling!!! All over my body...my feet and hands had it the worst. I couldn't even touch my thumb to my pinky finger or make a fist. Holding my phone and texting was impossible! My hands throbbed with pain it was terrible... I don't have full range of motion either (it's worse on my right arm). My arms also have that lumpy appearance; it takes about 6 weeks for a smooth look (so I hear). I've seen a lot of before and after pics of the pie crust closure and it looks very ridgy but ends up looking completely smoothed out after a couple months. I haven't shaved my arm pits yet :/ I'm afraid! LOL!
