Arm lift recovery?

[dackn8tr]

I'm over the bat wings and ready to bid them farewell!! Can anyone tell me how long your recovery took in general? I work in an office with no real lifting involved & am just wondering how long I might be off work. Have my consult the 26th of this month but am just curious what everyone else experienced. Thanks!!

Great post!
My flaps are flapping too much right now!
I would love to know more too about the recovery etc

Plan on LEAST two weeks off work. It takes several months to fully recover the nerve endings/tingling/tightness. Very weird sensation! Massage is IMPERATIVE. I will give you some good massage pointers if and when you have them done!!!

Thanks Christy! I'm hoping to have this done before the end of the year, just trying to get it in my mind what time frame i can get away with at work so i know what to tell them at my consult. Once i have it done i'll be in touch for those tips, they're GREATLY appreciated!!!

I SAW THAT TOO!! I wondered why I haven't seen her on here for quite a while! What the H3LL happened? Anybody know?

She was still reachable by email last week but was going to Spain in a few days. Send an email? It'll be there when she gets back, or maybe she still has access if she has the right phone/technogadget.

I just saw that too, and I just emailed her...I'll let you guys know if I hear anything...Hi D!!!

i just had my arms done a week and a half ago and honestly i had no pain after and im completly back to my old routine besides lifting weights and they already look great i would say if your working take a week off you wont need much

Good afternoon,
I am scheduled to have the full meal deal on Dec 19 of this year, with Dr Niebles. Any advise?
I was fine and not one bit nervous, but i seem to be a nervouse wreck with this on.
I am dealing with Christy via email and she seems great.

Well my surgery is scheduled for December 12th so unfortunately I don't have any words of wisdom yet but would love to have a surgery buddy on this since we're so close together in dates!! I'm having my arms done along with a breast lift & augmentation.

I Think I will need this to. My arms look a bit flabby already.

I just wanted to wish you luck! Show us after you are all better.

[Kelli D]

I will definitely need this surgery! I already have to stay out of a strong wind or I am going to be flying like a bird! Good luck and keep us posted when you are done!

Breast Cancer Medic - how long will you need to stay in TJ? Will you have drains! Will you go home with drains? Just wondering how that works??! My husband is getting sleeved in April '14 by Dr Kelly. Trying to figure out if I coulda et some work while we are in TJ. Please keep us updated with your surgery!

I had fairly extensive surgery in Monterrey with Dr Sauceda just two weeks ago. Arms are recovering very nicely but what I do know is to just be careful. The incisions heal pretty fast, but still can have risk of opening up or widening the scar by over doing it. Since i had multiple procedures done at once, i don't know the specific time off and restrictions for arms, but, the general message pounded into my head is that it takes 6 weeks to really heal and avoid longer term issues. I have 8 week restrictions for some activities. Desk job, only doing arms, you can probably return to work in 2 weeks (of course depending what your surgeon says) but just be careful to not put tension on those incisions.
