At first I couldn't tell because of the swelling, but once I put on summer clothes I could clearly see how nicely the line had come together!! It's only been a month so I can't say they feel fully like my own arms yet, but I'm already satisfied! For the first 1-2 weeks the bruising and scars were visible, but now only the insertion points show slightly? And even that is barely noticeable, so it didn't bother me. I kept loosening up my arms and armpits at home whenever I thought of it, and now I can raise them above my head without any trouble! Going forward I plan to keep it up with a diet and light exercise~~
