Six weeks out from Arm Lift/Breast lift
I did lose the knots from the BL yesterday (with the help of tweezers), but I still have holes in my armpits. It's not totally surface yet, but I'm seeing more scabbing over, which the surgeon is pleased to see.
I still wear a binder on my arms (and legs from the thigh lift, but that is swelling related, not just from surgery), and am waiting on the surgeon to get me a size medium on the arms, too.
My breasts are two different sizes. The right is a FULL D cup, while the left is more of a FULL C/ small D. I may have him remove breasty tissue from the right when he revises my TT and arms in December. It does make bra shopping too interesting.
Also, I stil have a bit too much of excess skin in the breast area on the sides. so bra fittings annoy the heck out of me. I'll discuss that with him, especially the right one. The only bra that really fits is from Victoria's Secret, and costs $40. Very expensive.

Goes to show you, we're all different! I spent two hours at VS one day and literally NOTHING fit me. I find I do best in inexpensive sports bras, actually. I'm a 32-34 c these days-- and it's easy peasy. I will be having scar revisions too, as soon as I feel like getting hacked up again. GAH!
