Brachioplasty

[dianec 8]

My left arm is healing AWESOME, however my right arm the scar is not healing as well - thicker scar. I am massaging them and putting the lotion on. Pain is not in the arms, just my abdomen.

Mine was the same except its my left arm scar which is slightly thicker than my right arm, i think we would be very lucky if both scars ended up exactly the same, just keep doing what u are doing it can take months and months of work on the scar to see results ..

Hang in there, and keep looking at your before pics ...

^{How much time did you all take off work to recover? Im trying to reschedule my procedure.}

[dianec 8]

I took off 6 weeks (but I had 3 procedures - Tummy Tuck, back lift and the brachioplasty).

How much time is recommended for brachioplasty only?

[dianec 8]

Not quite sure, but probably two weeks. Depending on the type of work you do.

Thanks, mostly desk work but I do go out to the schools and test.

Hi SVM

The brachiplasty was the easiest operation for me to recover. Even easier then the lap band.

My operation was pretty straightforward....no drains, etc.

I'd say 10 days would be a good amount of time. My operation was on a Wednesday. I would've been able to go back after 1 1/2 weeks. I don't work anymore but I was doing pretty heavy housework within 1 week.

Good luck in your Quest

Josie
