Right after surgery there was bruising and stiffness, but from month 3 the contour started coming together, and now at 6 months the swelling is almost gone, so my upper arms look much slimmer in short sleeves. The fat at the back of my arms that used to fold has been naturally cleaned up, so I don't have to worry about camera angles anymore. Combining massage with light exercise has improved my firmness a lot. With the upper arm fat gone my upper body looks much slimmer, and people keep asking me "did you lose weight?"
