I’m a bride-to-be, so I looked for a place that prioritized safety and didn’t make an elbow incision. I have some muscle and my skin quality isn’t great, so my arms didn’t become completely straight, but the line was cleaned up well. They removed 1,200 cc, and the circumference went down by 4 cm. My arms were so thick compared with my body that now they’re about the same circumference as other people’s pre-surgery arms. It’s been over 50 days now, but because of the remaining hard lumps and slight swelling, they still feel a little tight and firm lol Pain and discomfort really vary by person. From the next day, I did all the housework by myself, and I was fine enough to raise my arms overhead. In the past, I had surgery to remove accessory breast glandular tissue, and that was several times more uncomfortable and painful ㅜㅜ Also, it doesn’t suddenly slim down right after surgery lol At first, it got even thicker because of swelling, then it went down very slowly.. I think you have to relax and wait. At first I felt a bit disappointed, like maybe they hadn’t taken out enough, but looking at my overall proportions, I think they removed just the right amount. However, I already had sagging armpit skin, and after surgery it got worse. I don’t think I’ll be able to wear spaghetti-strap tops haha
Oh, this is a different topic, but please look carefully into accessory breast glandular tissue removal before doing it. I was really stressed because of armpit sagging + pigmentation..
