As stupid as this sounds, this has become a serious issue for me. Anyone else have trouble shaving their armpits after breast augmentation? It's like there is a serious "pit" there now from my implants making my skin so tight. At first I thought oh it was just because I was being cautious (because I had brachioplasty at the same time), but I have tried time and time again, paid special attention and cannot get all of the hair from one side. I am two months post op and have full arm mobility, so I know that is not the issue. HELP!

My arm pits were very hollow from weight loss. I had brachioplasty, which removed lots of the area with hair. I had a breast augmentation later, and both surgeries help to pull the skin their tighter. However, I still had the hollow pit, so I did laser hair removal, and it worked great.

Friends don't let friends wax. They guide them to laser hair removal.

thank god i have very little to almost no hair in my arm pits.

So I went today for my first treatment, it does hurt! For like 10 sec. I even used the numbing cream. Will see the results I still have to do 5/6 more treatments

Well, that's good to know that it did not hurt long. Keep us posted on the results; how quickly you seen them, how many total treatments you end up having, etc.

I am going to get some free consults to find out how much I might have to pay for laser hair removal in my area. Did a little research last night and it definitely seems like a great option!

I have to go every 4/5 weeks. They said about 6 to 9 treatments it depends.

Laser hair removal is AWESOME! Highly recommend it. The price really varies depending on where you are located. Success depends a lot on your skin tone and hair type (has to be dark) and getting the right equipment to treat said skin tone. I am fair skinned but had dark enough hair and was able to use one of the machines that is better for fair skinned people. I had 7 treatments about 2 1/2 years ago and then just started up again about 6 months ago. There wasn't really a lot of regrowth but the package I bought basically includes laser hair for 30 minutes, so I am doing my lower legs and underarms again. Not sure the underarms are even necessary but since I am there, might as well. It has worked great on my lower legs also. In Dallas, the prices seem to be around $300-$400 for 6 underarm treatments. Do a little research and look at the reviews of the places and give it a try. it doesn't really hurt too bad (depending on how much they turn the machine up). I am also using the stronger laser machine to do skin tightening on my chin/turkey neck. Not sure it is working by leaps and bounds, but there does seem to be some improvement. Now THAT hurts! Even with the numbing cream. With laser hair removal, they use a different setting and a small puff of cold air comes out afterwards (with each shot) giving a numbing sensation. For the skin tightening, they cannot use the cold air as the whole point is to at up the skin and stimulate collagen. I only bought 4 treatments of this.

Just know that it is key for you to go every 4 to 6 weeks for the hair removal (depending on how fast your hair grows) so you can catch the hair in different stages of growth. Even for the hair that doesn't disappear though, it is much softer. Totally worth it and best money (other than RNY) I have spent!
