My surgeon keeps telling me that I have to be patient to see more results in that I am still Swollen and it may last up to six months is that true?.. will my arms appear more slim as time goes on or is this the end results?
Answer: Arm lift arm reduction brachioplasty VASER arm liposuction post-op swelling arm swelling arm lift expert Los Angeles HI Shivaun1984, Thank you for your questions and pictures regarding your arm lift or arm reduction. Based on your pictures taken ONLY two weeks from your brachioplasty procedure, you have outstanding arm results. Your plastic surgeon should be commended on his/her excellent arm work. It is true that it takes some time to see the final results after an arm lift. Healing after an arm lift is different for every patient. Some patients heal eight weeks after an arm lift. Some patients take longer to heal after their arm lift. As in your case, patients with larger arms take longer to heal. Please be patient. If you ever doubt your results, carefully and objectively look at your before arm pictures and realize how much better your arms look. I would suggest you follow your plastic surgeon's advise. In my practice, I have my arm lift patients wear their arm lift garments for a minimum of six weeks. If they have continued arm swelling, I have them wear their arm garment for longer. Arm garments help to reduce arm swelling and aide in flattening the arm scar. Thank you for your questions regarding the appearance of your arms after your arm lift or brachioplasty. If you have any other questions regarding the arm lift, arm reduction or brachioplasty, please contact my office. Sincerely, Dr. Katzen.

Answer: How long will it take for me to see final results after surgery on a brachioplasty? The time it takes to see the final results after brachioplasty (arm lift surgery) can vary from person to person. In general, you’ll start to see some improvements immediately after the surgery, but it may take several weeks to months for the swelling to fully subside and for the scars to fade. Most patients can expect to see significant improvements within 3-6 months, and the final results may become more apparent after a year or more. Your surgeon will provide you with a more specific timeline based on your individual case.
