I am scheduled for an arm lift and need to have knee replacement surgery. How long do you suggest I wait to have the knee surgery?
Answer: Knee replacement after arm lift b I would recommend you wait at least six weeks from the time of your arm surgery. That should give the tissue time to heal strong enough to tolerate minor trauma such as crutches, if that became necessary for you. Waiting longer is certainly better because it gives everything more time to settle and become comfortable.

Answer: Arm lift Thank you for your question. We recommend waiting 6 to 12 weeks between surgeries. The wait time mostly depends on how long it takes your body to recover. Healing time will vary from one patient to the other, depending on issues like your overall health and how well you followed post op instructions. Generally, your plastic surgeon will recommend that you wait until you’re fully recovered before having another surgery. Best wishes.

Answer: Time between procedures Each surgeon will have her/his own protocol on the amount of time recommended between procedures. You will want to wait until you are fully healed from your arm lift procedure before having knee replacement. Three to six months between procedures should be generally sufficient, but your surgeon will advise what is right for you based on your surgical plan.

Answer: When to Have Your Knee Replacement Surgery Following an Arm Lift Surgery Thank you for your question regarding when you should undergo knee replacement after your arm lift surgery. I would allow you at least 4 to 6 weeks to heal from your arm lift surgery. During that time, your body will need to replace some of the blood loss during the arm lift procedure. Though there won't be much blood loss, your body will need some time to recoup from the surgery. Before your knee surgery, you will have to have your blood tested again. Also, about six weeks allows your arms to heal enough to rely on your upper arm strength and body to assist your legs with their recovery. Of course, this is advice from an experience board-certified plastic surgeon. It would help if you were asking your orthopedic surgeon what they suggest. Good Luck. I hope this helps to answer your question regarding when you can have knee surgery after your arm lift surgery.
