I went to a plastic surgeon in Tijuana Mexico called Dr Salas. He has been in business for 22 years and I am very pleased with how my arms look 3/4 of the incision is already a pencil line just the underarm area is taking longer to heal. I wore my compression garment right through the draining process which lasted about 3 days, I put gauze pads on my arms to absorb it then put on the garment. It was gross but I think will aide in my arms healing nicely. I wear my garment 24/7 and my arms look fantastic!!

Sorry I forgot to add that yes he did Lipo on my arms as well I am not sure if all doctors do lipo too. I also do not have any external stitches so no cross hatch marks like OP they are all under the skin.

One more thing, the price includes overnight stay at his clinic with top notch care, meds, dressings and garments.

Amazon3, how many days pos op did you go home?

I was just sleeved in Mexico on the 31st, my insurance will pay for my Tummy Tuck but I will most definitely need arms done. I'm wanting to start preparing and gather info.

Question, how do you shave?

After the stitches were out and the scars were healing, you shave just like normal. Yes there is scar there but you shave over or around it.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      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.
