Default Just had BR

Hi I just had a reduction on Jan 12th and I am feeling okay. Pain was minimal..I think I just have a tolerance for pain anyway...but I am playing it safe. I know how easy it is to over do it and wear yourself out even if you think you are feeling great. Mentally, oh my goodness... I feel like a new person..I feel beautiful again..I am not in pain either. My bra straps used to leave marks in my shoulder. This is the best think I have ever done for myself.....I feel great.

I had my BR on the 16th and also feel great. I do have a little swelling and I am still sore but I at least I don't need pain killers which is great. Due to have my stitches out on the 24th, I am looking forward to that. I was delighted to read that you are feeling so good and pleased with your results - very heartening. Keep us posted.

I am now 8 days po and I am having my dressings removed and staitches out. i am feeling uncomfortable and my arms are still swollen. Otherwise I am feeling really good, but that might be because I have eaten, rested and slept well. I am getting a little tired of the uncomfortable feeling in both ares, it might be due to the stitches - any ideas?? My arms feel strange like a numbness as well as discomfort is this normal?

I am scheduled for upper arm lipo tomorrow morning. I have a lot of muscle tone underneath the fat of my arms, but I just thought about wether or not I'll have excess skin after this procedure. Is an arm lift necessary if you just have lipo? I'm 5'3, 159 pounds, very muscular
thanks so much for any responses

Has anyone had thermage for upper arms? What were the results? Any successes or dissapointments with other arms procedures to tighten skin and remove cellulite like dents on upper arms?? Any suggestions for improvement of these problems?

I'm glad you feel great. I guess we can take that as a recommendation for this procedure. Are you considering any more procedures or are you all set now?
