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.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
