I had an arm lift 8 weeks ago and I'm still finding the surface of the underneath of my arm very sore - I keep putting my sleeves back on as it's really tender without them - they still look swollen but I'm not sure if they are or if it's just I've got fat arms lol - maybe I was just expecting too much and a quick recovery - is all this normal ? Thanks

Answer: Arm lift surgery recovery Its not unusual to be experiencing discomfort eight weeks after arm lift surgery. The arms are used for every activity and this places stress on the incisions/scars. Swelling will fluctuate for some time and is also normal. Be patient, it takes many months before you can see your final results.

Answer: It's normal to be sore Hi, thanks for your question. It's perfectly normal to be sore around 2 months after an arm lift. Try to make a routine of massaging early in the morning and before going to bed. Gently massage on the incision areas. Stop if it is painful. Do check your wound carefully daily and trim any "dissolvable stitches" poking out.
