Brachioplasty Fluid Buildup

[SVM10 6]

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.

Any information would be appreciated.

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.
