Had a arm lift May 12th, when can I start going to the gym?
Answer: Exercise post arm lift Thank you for your question! For my patients having an arm lift, I recommend taking 3 weeks off of cardio at the gym, and 6 weeks off of weight training and yoga exercises. I recommend discussing specific instructions with your board certified plastic surgeon. Best of luck!

Answer: Working out after arm lift The exact answer for that depends on your swelling and healing. In general people need to minimize their use of the arm and avoid stretching for at least 4 weeks. At that point you usually can start lifting and getting more strenuous. Between 4-6 weeks I suggest slow increase in weight lifted and vigorousness of activity, but do not go to extreme of lifting or exercise (bench pressing/kick boxing) until at least 6 weeks. Certainly make sure you get the go ahead from your surgeon before trying anything extreme, as that time table may be different if you have any wound healing problems or special circumstances.

Answer: Working Out After Arm Lift Recommendation would be 5 weeks prior to heavy exercise. Start gently after 5 weeks and progress gradually. Also it is recommended to wear a support sleeve for 6 weeks. Christian Drehsen, MD

Answer: Working out after brachioplasty Generally, light workouts should be reasonable after a month or so, depending on how you are healing. I would avoid arm exercise for a few more weeks to avoid aggravating the surgical sites. Before starting to work out, you should check with your surgeon's office to see what their recommendations are as every surgeon has their own postoperative exercise protocols. Good luck!

Answer: EXERCISE AFTER ARM LIFT Greetings, It is important to allow adequate time for incisions to heal. Usually by 4 weeks, you can resume cardio activities. If you are going to do vigorous exercise or stretching, will require a longer time to resume, usually 6 - 8 weeks. Before resuming any exercise program after surgery, verify with your plastic surgeon to be sure that everything has healed properly and you are prepared for exercise. Have an excellent day!
