ANYONE GET BLISTERS FROM TIGHTENED SKIN AFTER ARM LIFT?
Had brachioplasties done on Tuesday, today got to take off bandages and shower. I have multiple areas along inner aspect of my arms that have blisters, my right arm is worse and is almost completely covered from the elbow up about 6 inches. Called surgeon and was told to apply dry gauze and keep covered, will see him on Monday.
I was just wondering if anyone else ever experienced this, as I had not heard of this happening before.
Thanks
PS my arms are so tight and contoured, it is amazing....do you think my skin was pulled to tight?

I developed blisters from the surgical tape from my lap RNY. The blisters hurt. I picked up several different types of tape and bandaids as I had drains and had to keep stuff covered. I switched and tried to make sure that I didn't tape over areas that were already blistered. It was a pain in the butt - and itched for daaaays.
I'm sorry you are having to deal with that in addition to your incisions. I wish you an uneventful and speedy recovery.

Sher-
I had blisters on my right arm. And you are right these are from the surgery itself. I have gotten blisters from tape in the past -- but there had been no tape in this area. When I was in the hospital they put a clear plasticy pad with some sort of ointment type medicine on the the area where the blisters were. After I left the hospital I used telfa pads to be sure they did not stick to that area. The blisters healed and did not scar.
