The first thing I noticed after surgery is that my arm line got really clean! Before, the flesh would press together when my arms were at my sides, but now it falls much more slimly so I feel good every time I get dressed hehe It feels like the size dropped a lot too. The scars were slightly red at first so I worried, but they've faded a lot over time. Now they're barely noticeable so I don't pay much attention to them. The bruising and swelling were worst for about 1 to 2 weeks, and after that they went down faster and faster. By around a month daily life was completely comfortable, and now there's hardly any swelling. Overall the recovery was better than I expected, and seeing the result makes me wish I'd done it sooner ^^!
