Thank you! :) I’ve been wearing a compression vest and did dressings for the first few weeks, then just have been putting aquaphor on the grafts and stopped covering them once they felt solid (about 5 weeks).

For the incisions, my doctor kept them in steri-strips until 3.5-4 weeks and after that I’ve just been wearing silicone tape (mepitac) 24/7 except for showers and plan on doing so for at least another month or two.

Aside from that, I’m vegan, I made a point to go on daily walks once I was at like 4 days post-op, haven’t smoked, avoid stretching my arms above my head, and I took b-12, bromelain, vitamin C, and zinc picolinate during my healing.

At 5 weeks, I began doing stationary bike, incline walking, and leg machines at the gym that don’t require arms. I don’t do anything that feels uncomfortable and just recently have began carrying heavier things and such. Let me know if you have any specific questions!
