Arm Lift FAQ

How long does an arm lift surgery take?

A typical arm lift procedure takes about 2-3 hours. If you’re combining it with other surgeries, it may take longer. We’ll provide a more precise estimate during your consultation based on your specific needs.

Will I have visible scars after an arm lift?

Yes, arm lift surgery does result in a scar that typically runs from the armpit to the elbow on the inner part of the arm. While visible, we place it in the least noticeable position possible. Most patients find that the improved arm contour outweighs concerns about scarring.

How long is the recovery period after an arm lift?

Most patients can return to light activities within 1-2 weeks. Full recovery, including returning to strenuous arm exercises, usually takes about 4-6 weeks. We’ll provide you with a detailed recovery timeline based on your specific case.

Can I combine an arm lift with liposuction?

Yes, many patients benefit from combining an arm lift with liposuction for optimal contouring. This allows us to remove excess fat before tightening the skin. We’ll discuss whether this combination is right for you during your consultation.

Will an arm lift affect my ability to exercise or lift weights?

Once you’re fully healed, an arm lift shouldn’t limit your ability to exercise or lift weights. In fact, many patients find they’re more motivated to maintain toned arms after surgery. We’ll guide you on when it’s safe to resume different types of exercise.

How much weight will I lose from an arm lift?

An arm lift is not a weight loss procedure. While you may lose a small amount of weight from removed skin and fat, the primary goal is improved arm contour. The most significant change will be in how your arms look and how your clothes fit.

Will the results of my arm lift last?

The results of an arm lift can be long-lasting, especially if you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. However, natural aging will continue to affect your skin over time. Taking care of your skin and staying fit can help prolong your results.

How soon after massive weight loss can I have an arm lift?

We generally recommend waiting until your weight has been stable for at least 6 months before having an arm lift. This ensures your body has adjusted to your new weight and that you’re in optimal health for surgery.

Will an arm lift help with underarm skin laxity?

Yes, an arm lift can significantly improve underarm skin laxity. The procedure removes excess skin and fat, creating a smoother, tighter appearance in the underarm area as well as the upper arm.

Can I wear deodorant after an arm lift?

You’ll need to avoid deodorant for a short period after surgery to prevent irritation to your incisions. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to resume using deodorant, typically after your incisions have healed, usually within 1-2 weeks.

Will I have drains after an arm lift?

In some cases, we may place temporary drains to remove excess fluid and reduce swelling. Not all patients require drains, and if needed, they’re usually removed within a week. We’ll discuss whether you might need drains during your consultation.
