long-scar arm lift

[danny]

Hi, Ladies...can anyone give me all the bad news about this procedure? Do scar minimizers help at all? What kind of discomfort is involved? Any candid advice and/or comment will be most appreciated.

I am six weeks post-op and my scars do not look bad at all. My doctor has had me taping my scars, with the paper tape. I am looking into the silcone sheets to try. My scars go from justbelwo my elbow through my armpit. I have be very happy with the results. My arms are 11 inches smaller then before the surgery.

Do you have any photos to share? I am getting an arm lift with a long incision too in March. Also how are you feeling now that you are 6 weeks post-op. Are you able to resum regular activities?

Thanks and have a great day!

I have heard some people complain about the scars, and that scares me. I'm glad to hear that your scars are not bad, and that you are happy with the results. Thanks!
