After surgery my arm contour is definitely tidier There's more room in the sleeves of my clothes, and nothing bulges out even in tight tops My friends notice the change too, saying only my arms got slim, that my arms are really thin As for scars, I didn't do any care at all early on so they showed a bit, but I found a scar ointment for the summer and they're gradually fading They haven't disappeared completely yet, but I can see them healing The bruising was all gone after about 3 weeks, and now only minor swelling is left The major swelling lasted about 2 months, and now I can feel just a slight bit when I touch it I went back to work right after surgery and I use my arms a lot in my job, but it was no problem, and my family and coworkers have no idea I had surgery hehe The first week or so was rough, but overall recovery was smooth and I'm very satisfied!
