It is month 1 after my arm and axillary breast surgery~ At one month I can definitely feel that the line has changed. Clothes that used to be tight around my arms feel loose now. There is still a little swelling, but I am slowly starting to stretch so I think it will go down soon. The scars are still there but they have faded a lot. I bought regenerative ointment at the clinic to apply consistently. The bruising is almost entirely gone everywhere else. Only the upper chest area still has a faint green tinge. Overall, after about 10 days I do not think there was anything painful or difficult at all. Once the swelling went down, wearing the compression garment was not that hard either. (I only wore it at night while sleeping.) Around week 2 I was going out to meet people and had no problem with daily life at all. Everyone asked me if recovery is really this fast. I am very satisfied with the recovery process too. I hope the swelling goes down even more soon.
