Miami Arm Lift doctors

This question should be addressed to the chosen operative surgeon! We do not know which type of brachioplasty you are having, your medical history, etc. Thus we can not advise via the internet. In my patient I request no use for 7 days at least or more. Best  of luck. 

5 weeks post op you need physical therapy or an aggressive range of motion routine. Return to your operative surgeon for care and advise. 

Improving arm contours and aesthetics is a common concern of patients.  Often there is a question of whether liposuction or brachioplasty (arm lift) will be the best choice.  Of course, the best way to determine the procedure that will provide the result you are hoping to achieve is through a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.  With the world wide web, patients are now frequently seeking opinions and consultations from surgeons from different areas of the country and are often willing to travel to seek out care, therefore plastic surgeons are often asked to give opinions based on history and photographs, and certainly this is done frequently on this site.  From your information and photos, I would say that an arm lift (which I often combine with simultaneous liposuction) will be the procedure that will achieve the best result.  Unless there is very good skin tone and excess fat is the sole problem in the arm, lipo is often not the best procedure for this particular area.  Arm lifts often require an extended length of scar and like all procedures, the healing is largely dependent on the patient's natural healing ability.  The incision is placed in an area of the arm that is least notable and is typically well tolerated by the patient as a trade-off for a significant improvement in arm contour.
