Hi, I just got an arm lift done. I wanted to get a full sleeve tattoo which will cover my full arm from top of shoulder to wrist all around.
Answer: Tattoo on arm lift scar I'd wait for at least three months to begin the sleeve tattoo process on the arm in general (EXCLUDING the scar!), and start tattooing over the scar at about one year after your operation. Of course, that's assuming the scar is healing well. Definitely discuss the matter with your surgeon. It is very important that you seek the advice of a surgeon who is experienced with the procedure, and a certified by the American Board of plastic surgery.

Answer: Tattoo post surgery Thank you for your question! For my patients, I typically recommend they wait 6 months to a year before tattooing over incisions. I recommend discussing specific post op questions with your plastic surgeon. Best of luck!

Answer: Tattoo over a scar from an arm lift, how long do I have to wait after healing in order to get one? Congratulations on having undergone the arm lifting surgery. Best to run this question by your plastic surgeon; in my practice, I would ask patients to wait about a year. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.

Answer: Arm lift scar Usually is best to wait until scar has faded out to really see how is going to look. It may take 1 year to get there. At this point you can have a tattoo placed over it. Hope it helps

Answer: Tattoo It is always best to wait until the scar has completely faded. Tattoos are best when the scars are pale and not red/pink. I am sure your surgeon and your tattoo artist would say the same and best to take their advice. If it was me personally I would wait for 12 months min before considering a Tattoo over an arm lift scar as arm lift scars take longer than most to settle.
