Answer: Recovery after Tummy tuck with Arm lift
Hi there-
There are a great many factors which will affect the recovery you experience, including your individual pain tolerance, the specific activities you would like to engage in, you work responsibilities, and the details of the planned surgery (which only your surgeon can help you understand)...
Your best bet is to ask the surgeon you have chosen this question.

Answer: Recovery after an arm lift and a tummy tuck is about 6 weeks Hello - Recovery from these procedures takes about 2 weeks from work and 6 weeks from working out. I typically remove the dressings at 1 week, and you may have drains that will be in for about 1-2 weeks. Driving can usually be resumed at 1-2 weeks depending on how you do. Also, pain is well controlled with oral pain medicine. Good luck!
