How long does swelling last after an arm lift?
Swelling after an arm lift typically lasts 2-4 weeks. Most patients see significant improvement in swelling within the first two weeks, but some residual swelling may persist for up to 3 months.
Can I combine an arm lift with other procedures?
Yes, an arm lift can often be combined with other body contouring procedures such as breast surgery or tummy tuck, depending on your individual needs and goals. This approach can be more cost-effective and reduce overall recovery time.
Will an arm lift affect my ability to exercise?
Initially, you’ll need to avoid strenuous arm exercises for 4-6 weeks after surgery. Once fully healed, an arm lift should not affect your ability to exercise. In fact, many patients find it easier to engage in physical activities due to reduced excess skin.
How visible will the arm lift scars be?
Arm lift scars are typically placed on the inner aspect of the upper arm, extending from the armpit towards the elbow. While they are permanent, they tend to fade over time and are often easily concealed by natural arm positioning.
Is there a non-surgical alternative to an arm lift?
For patients with good skin elasticity and primarily excess fat, liposuction alone may be an option. However, for significant skin laxity, a surgical arm lift is usually the most effective treatment.
