When can I exercise after arm lift?

In my experience anybody who shows up to the operating room in better shape has better outcomes. You can certainly spend your time getting fit and toned before your procedure even though it may not manifest the improved contours until your surgery manifests itself. In a patient who is undergoing a brachioplasty, I always discuss with them that more definition can be obtained with vaser liposelection at the same time as the excess arm skin that is being removed. Vaser liposelection will give better contours of the biceps and deltoid region while the excess skin is being removed with the scar that’s left in between the biceps and triceps on the inner arm. After your surgery is completed, it usually takes about 3 weeks for the swelling to settle down during which time you should get some massages. After 3 weeks in my practice I strongly urge my patients to resume a more aggressive physical regiment.

After an arm lift surgery (brachioplasty), it's crucial to follow your plastic surgeon's specific instructions regarding post-operative care and recovery, including when you can resume exercise. Generally, you should avoid strenuous activities, including exercise, for several weeks following the procedure to allow your body to heal properly.Your plastic surgeon will provide guidance based on your individual case, but typically, you may be able to begin light activities and exercise after about 4-6 weeks post-surgery. However, it's essential to start slowly and gradually increase the intensity of your workouts to avoid complications and ensure optimal healing.Always consult with your plastic surgeon before starting any exercise regimen after arm lift surgery to ensure it's safe and appropriate for your recovery process. They can provide specific recommendations based on your progress and help you establish a plan for safely resuming physical activity.

Thank you for your question regarding exercise after an arm lift.
To get the best toned look, I would suggest weight training after your arm lift. During your arm lift, arm skin and fat will be removed. After the arm lift surgery, you can work on developing and accentuating your biceps, triceps, and deltoids.
Good luck with your quest for thinner, toned arms.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact my office.
