Arm Lift - January 28th

Feb 08, 2009

Well I had my arm lift done my Dr Kyle Wanzel on January 28th, wish I could say it went well but there was some complications while I was in recovery.  My arms & hands started turning blue due to a lack of circulation so he had to cut open some of the stitches and ended up spending the night at the hospital.   I was sent home with an open incision on each arm and will be having surgery again on Feb 18th to close the incisions but he'll be grafting some skin from a different area in order to close one of them.  The pain isn't has bad as I thought it would be however with that said I did overdo it one day and sure paid for it that night, the pain was unbelievable and it felt like the skin on my arms was going to burst open and when the nurse came the following day she noticed a lot more swelling and reminded me that I needed to take it easy which after the pain I felt I'm going to do.  
I've posted some pics  from after the surgery but be warned some are of the open incision.
