Brachioplasty Fluid Buildup



Recommended Posts

Hello, has anyone had to deal with Fluid building up in arms and having it aspirated? I went for my 2 week checkup on Thursday, and my PS drew 10ccs from one arm and 15ccs from the other. It feels like they need more taken out because I have really hard, large spots on both, my left s more prominent.

I just had my arms done 4 weeks ago and I've had swelling of Fluid. I had a Tummy Tuck in May 2012 and then a breast lift in Aug 2012. In both of those I had Fluid built up too. It does go down. I'm trying to wear the compression garment as much as possible and that helps. I also massage those areas and that helps even more I think. I know the arms will be fine soon. Oh I had a neck lift at the same time as my breast lift and the swelling on my neck took 3 months to come down. Be patient. It will be fine.

Thanks, Karen did you have the Fluid aspirated? It's been 7 weeks for me and I still wear compression shirts or sleeves everyday. I had drains with my TT, so this is a first for me.mi have had them aspirated twice and scheduled to go back on the 18th. I drive 4hrs to do this each time, and it takes about 10 min. maximum. Hopefully, this will be the last time.

Yes a little from my arms. Lots for my stomach and then had to have tubes put back in. I had those suckers for six weeks! It's all good now.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
