Recovery Tips Post-Op Brachioplasty & Panniculectomy

Wanted to share suggestions that helped make my recovery from vertical panniculectomy and brachioplasty surgery easier.

Having restrictions means having to alter your environment to facility the best healing situation you can. Especially when I already have the underlying Vasculitis which makes healing more challenging.

Between the doctor, hospital staff, and other videos I was able to get a few items that made being as independent as much as one can given the surgeries I recently got.

For reference I used Cleveland Clinics Description of the surgeries I got during this step in my 150+ lb weight loss journey.

A panniculectomy is a surgical procedure that removes hanging skin and fatty tissue from your abdomen.

Brachioplasty is a type of cosmetic surgery that can improve the appearance of your upper arms. It involves tightening sagging skin and supportive tissue. Surgeons also remove pockets of fat. It makes your arms appear more sculpted in a way that exercise and diet alone can’t.
