It is my third month since the arm lift At 3 months there is no real pain or inconvenience in daily life, and I am doing light exercise like the stationary bike and easy swimming! Dumbbells, the gym and upper-body strength training still feel like too much, so I stick to light workouts If I overdo physical activity during the day I feel a bit of warmth in my arms, but I have gotten used to that too, and a cold pack takes care of it It feels like the swelling is nearly all gone, and a lot of the flesh that used to hang down is gone compared with before surgery, so I am happy, haha
