How long is the recovery from arm lift surgery?
Recovery time after brachioplasty will vary with the type of procedure performed. Patients undergoing liposuction will have mild swelling which gradually recedes over a couple of months. Compressive garments are worn for a month and most patients can return to the gym in two the three weeks and back at work in a week. With skin resection, healing and recovery take longer with time off work up to two weeks and strenuous activities up to three to four weeks. Often this procedure is combined with other body contouring surgery, which can prolong complete recovery. Swimming may be permitted in as little as two weeks with good healing.
