Arm Lift Procedure Timeline & Overview
Preparation
During your first consultation, you will have the opportunity to discuss specifics about the arm lift procedure. The doctors will ask you general questions about your medical history. This will determine if you are an appropriate candidate for an arm lift. If you have any concerns about the surgery, it is best to ask as many questions as possible. This will equip the doctor with useful information and help you to feel confident about your procedure. Your doctor will examine your arm, and together, you will develop a treatment plan that addresses your specific concerns.
During Surgery
The procedure takes approximately three hours to contour both arms. Your doctor will use general anesthesia along with numbing injections to control post-operative pain. The incisions will start either near the armpit or lower on the arm, depending on the amount of tissue that needs removing. The vertical incision will continue to the elbow. The doctor will use a hollow stainless-steel tube, called the cannula, with the assistance of a powerful vacuum. These tools will remove all pockets of fat to redefine and contour your arms.
Recovery
You will receive bandages and elastic wraps for your arms and be prescribed pain medication. Medication which may only be necessary for a few days depending on the healing process. There will be a scar extending from the armpit down to the elbow that rests out of sight either along the inside of the arm or along the back of the arm. After the first week, patients can return to work and light activities. However, refrain from any exercise activities or heavy lifting for approximately six weeks. This ensures a gentle and natural healing process.
