Answer: Pain after arm lift Thank you for your question. You are still recovering from the arm lift and you will find that the discomfort and swelling will continue to go down with every week that passes. Be careful not to stress the arms too much with activity and visit your plastic surgeon regularly during the post-op period.

Answer: Should I still have pain after arm lift? Sorry to hear about your pain. It is not unusual that you are still having pain but I would be curious to try to pin point the cause of the pain. My guess in that you still have quite a bit of swelling and your venous return has been altered and therefore making the swelling last longer than other areas that you have surgery. I tell patients that the arm is like a cylinder and there is only one way for the swelling to dissipate and sometimes this process takes time in some patients. Have your surgeon take a look at this issue and see what he or she says. Good luckDr VasishtSouth Shore Plastic Surgery
