Shapewear For Arms?



Recommended Posts

I have been looking at Shapewear to hold everything in while I shrink -- hoping this will help with the impending saggy skin problem.

Has anyone used any sort of shapewear for the upper arm area? I found these...

...but I'm hoping someone can make a recommendation or speak from experience.

Looks good but even a large seems like it may be small.. I may look into custom garments

A coworker suggested trying panty hose and cutting the tops of the legs off. I mostly wear 3/4 sleeves so I should be able to hide them easily....think I will try it!

Pantyhose -- that's smart thinkin'! I tend to wear 3/4 and long sleeves, so my wings should be hidden, but I'm kind of thinking I might be able to "train" the skin to not droop all willy-nilly when I start shrinking.

Sometimes simple is the answer panty hose. You can sew them to the sport bras and wear them to work out.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
