Frequently Asked Questions
The first day after arm lift surgery is the day when the pain is felt most intensely. In this process, strong painkillers are given to ensure the comfort of the patient. The pain gradually decreases and at the end of 1 week, most patients do not even need painkillers.
A few hours after the end of the surgery, we want to stand up and walk. If your profession is not performed with intense physical labor, you can return to work within 7 days. After 4 weeks, you can do cardio-heavy sports such as walking and cycling, and after 6 weeks you can start lifting weights.
We recommend quitting smoking 4 weeks before arm lift and not smoking for at least 4-8 weeks afterwards.
Liposuction is a suitable technique for patients with minimal skin and fat excess. Arm lift, on the other hand, aims to get rid of excess skin, especially on the arm. If there is already excess skin and sagging, only liposuction will increase this sagging. We decide together during the examination on the most suitable method for you.
If you pay attention to your diet and exercise, the chances of this happening will be much less. However, sagging can be seen again in patients with severe weight gain. Patients undergoing weight-loss surgery may require two-stage surgeries.
