Brachioplasty this morning, home now!

 Hello! This is my first time on this forum! I don't think I would be able to afford plastic surgery but care  credit approved me! I saw the pastic surgeon two dys ago, and at my request (ok, begging!) they were able to work me in and do the brachioplasty this morning! 

 I have a question, does antibody know if swelling of the hands is normal after a brachioplasty? I have been using them...the right is more swollen than the left. Thank you!

Hello Texashello!  I notice  you may be from Fort Worth.  Do you mind sharing who did your brachioplasty?  I am having a revision on mine in November.  I am just curious.
Thanks,
Brooke

Hi Susan!  Yep, Nov 2009!  I'm doing good.  I need a revision to my arms.  Doc was too conservative!  My revision is in November (again) 2012!  You look GREAT!
Brooke

yes it is normal, keep your  arms elevated maybe like resting on pillows, it will feel better tomorrow, if your right hand is your dominant hand, uu probably used that hand more
Good Luck Susan

im hoping to have my arms done in the fall...how was the pain? did you or do you have drains? just curious...i just had my tummy tuck and it wasnt too bad and the arms will be the next phase for me

 I had drains , actually I found the arms to be the easiest 
Out of all my surgeries

good to know. i had my tt on may 11th, doing pretty good but im trying not to take the pain med and use tylenol instead but my incision just burns, so im taking the pain med at night and tylenol during the day and that seems to work better

Yep, swelling is perfectly normal.  My fingers were like sausages. If you are using one more than the other that one will be more swollen. Try to take it easy and use them both equally and just take it easy.
