Exercise After Arm Lift

I will be getting an Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) in around 6 months. I want my arms to have a nice toned look like they used to have. Should I start weight training again before the surgery, or wait until after the procedure and the skin is tightened? Which one will get me the best, toned look?

A: Weight training before and after your arm lift

Definitely start weight training now. You don't need heavy weights or a complicated routine to benefit. Lighter weights with mutliple repetitions can go a long way in giving your arms a nice toned look. Then once you have surgery you will have to hold off for about 6 weeks, but then you can slowly resume. There is no benefit to waiting until after surgery to start. Your best results would be to tone now and keep it up after surgery (after a period of healing). Good luck!
