Does an arm lift hurt?

It is common to have some discomfort after an arm lift. You may experience mild pain, swelling and bruising. Taking pain medication as prescribed by your doctor and applying cool packs to your arm are all recommended for relieving pain and reducing swelling. The repositioning of your arm tissue can affect the superficial sensory nerves, and you may feel temporary numbness in the upper arm. Patients can plan one to two weeks of recovery time.

Is arm lift surgery safe?

Any surgery entails some level of risk. Arm lift surgery complications are uncommon, and cosmetic procedures are generally safe when performed by a qualified and experienced professional. They will discuss any potential risks with you to make an informed decision.

Will I have scars after an arm lift?

An arm lift will leave post-surgical scarring. The plastic surgeon will provide you with post-operative care instructions to ensure the well-being of the incision that will minimize scarring. Incisions are usually made at the back of your arms. Another option is an armpit incision. A common smoking-related problem is slow wound healing, which can increase the risk of wound infection.
