Are you using anything on your scars? Silicone?
August 8, 2016
At about 4 weeks after surgery I used silicone sheets 24 hours a day for two weeks while I had the compression sleeves on. The sheets were too hard to keep on after I stopped using the sleeves so I switched to the scar away gel and also used mederma gel. I did the sheets & gel for about 8 weeks. I actually would have used the sheets at about 3 weeks instead of 4 - it depends on how your healing is going.

Three Month Mark! Actually, 13 weeks.

My surgeon said that at this point I'd pretty much know what my arms are going to look like. The scars will continue to fade and look better and better as the months go by.

There is just a little numbness along the scars and they can be just a bit tender at times, but they really don't bother me at all.

I'm very happy to have had this done and it's been well worth it for me. I can wear summer dresses and tanks without being self conscious and trying to hide my jiggling arms. My jackets and shirts fit perfectly now. I'm going to start working with weights and it will be exciting to see results instead of the results being hidden by hanging skin!

So far good I just didn't imagine the swelling. I ache all the time and can't seem to get comfortable. I hate the bulb...drain I can't seem to hide it. On a positive note I have a shape, a waist I can see things I haven't seen in quite awhile lol even my feet. I had a no butt and now I do and I am having a hard time adjusting to it. Is that weird? My friend keeps telling me shut up wait awhile it will all get better. So there you go it wasn't and isn't all smiles and feeling like I look better. I think I had a different visualation.

There's still a little tightness and my arms still have some numbness along the scars, but am at 100% in terms of activities and back to life! My surgeon said that at 12 weeks all of the swelling should be gone and the arms will be looking really good.

God your arms look amazing! I am going to my surgeon in Utah at Envision, Dr. Dunkley, who is $3500.. Hopefully my results will be awesome too! Only problem, I am ruining my favorite tattoo in doing so! And that tattoo on the inner arm hurt SO bad and was swollen beyond comprehension so I'm wondering if hat was bad for you.. Yu can't really move your arms like I can't do dishes for a week right?!
May 23, 2016
It really wasn't that bad! I only took pain meds until the morning after surgery. I'd say by day three I was doing dishes, vacuuming and everything else! I just couldn't lift heavy things for about two weeks or so. Washing my hair in the shower was a big pain for about two weeks as well. But I could do regular stuff pretty much by day 3! I didn't really have any pain, just a bit sore but nothing big.

Best of luck to you!! I know yours will be great also.

Hi, here it is the middle of June and I'm wondering how you are doing. Are you back to all regular activities? How are your scars healing using the silicone strips or gel?
June 19, 2016
Hi! Oh yes, I'm fully recovered and have been back to all activities for awhile now. The scars seem to be healing on track and all swelling is gone now. I'm really happy with how they're looking. I guess it takes a year or so for scars to really fade out. I'm going to post new pictures at the 12 week mark, which will be July 5th. My surgeon said that's really when you see what will be your final result will be, even though scars will take up to a year more to really fade out.

Great. I look forward to seeing the pictures. Your pictures of arms have so far been the clearest of any I've seen on this site. July 6th I'll be in surgery but just for a TT. Hope to get the rest done next time breasts and arms. Happy healing.
June 19, 2016
Thank you! I'm looking forward to hearing about your TT process! That's next for me...
