Arm Lift at Ota & Jinemed Hospital

The recovery period of an arm lift is typically short as long as you follow your surgeon’s postoperative care instruction. You may be able to return to work and resume some activities within two weeks, and you should be able to return to your normal daily routine in six weeks. The surgeon may get you to wear a compression sleeve for a few weeks to keep your swelling down. However, allow six months before doing any strenuous and athletic activities, such as sport, because it might stretch the incision. The healing time for your swelling may take two to three months. Contact your doctor immediately if you experience shortness of breaths, irregular heartbeat, chest pains, a fever, or redness of the skin.

An arm lift has a high success rate and is typically long-lasting. However, you need to remember that your skin will eventually lose some firmness as you age and some drooping might occur. It is important to know that an arm lift has possible risks and side effects. You might have pain and infection after the surgery. In some cases, excessive bleeding, permanent scarring, fluid buildup, the damage of nerve, muscle, and blood vessels, as well as fatty tissue.
