Frequently Asked Questions About Arm Lift Procedures (Brachioplasty)
Who is a good candidate for an arm lift procedure?
Good candidates for an arm lift are individuals who are bothered by the appearance of their upper arms due to weight loss, aging, or genetics. These candidates typically have difficulty achieving desired results through exercise alone and seek a more permanent solution for toned, youthful-looking arms.
What can I expect during the recovery period after an arm lift?
After an arm lift procedure, patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the treated area, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication. It is important to follow the surgeon post-operative care instructions carefully, which may include wearing compression garments, avoiding strenuous activities, and attending follow-up appointments. Most patients can return to normal activities within a few weeks, but full recovery and optimal results may take several months.
Will there be noticeable scars after an arm lift procedure?
As with any surgical procedure, scarring is a possibility with an arm lift. The surgeon places incisions strategically along the inner side or back of the arms to minimize visible scarring. Over time, these scars typically fade and become less noticeable. The surgeon will provide detailed instructions on how to care for your incisions to promote proper healing and reduce scarring. If desired, additional treatments may be available to further improve the appearance of scars.
