Has anyone else had this done? Im in an incredible amount of pain, mostly in arms and armpits. Pain pills every 4 hours just barely helps.please any advice on how to deal with this will help. I feel like a robot bc I can't move my arms good

Just keep them wrapped tight (mine were wrapped to my fingertips to prevent swelling) and elevate them. You'll feel better soon, I promise!!

I'm so sorry that you're in so much pain. After my arm and brest lift, I wore a compression garment from designveronique .com. It was incredibly uncomfortable, but it did help control the swelling. I didn't have the flap in my breasts, but I did have it in my butt and I know how uncomfortable it can be. Keep in your compression and stay on top of the pain meds. Make sure to get in lots of extra protein for healing and keep yourself well hydrated. I promise it gets better. When do you see your surgeon again?
