Will I be able to wipe myself when I go to the bathroom after arm reduction surgery?

Hi Carla,
YES, you have to think of all the little details before having surgery! The answer totally depends on the type of arm lift, garment and dressings you will have. Your surgeon and staff are the best people to address these postop issues! My patients are usually able to cleanse by themselves but please do discuss with your surgeon! Good luck with your arm transformation!
All the best, 
Dr. Meegan Gruber

This is a very good question. You should be able to wipe yourself after going to the bathroom following a brachioplasty. As with all arm movements postoperatively you must be careful.
