How long does recovery take for arm lipo?

Hi, thank you for your question regarding liposuction.  Full recovery from this type of surgery is 10-14 days, however, you can return to most normal life activities within 3-5 days.  We recommend no vigorous activity for 14 days to reduce inflammation, thereby reducing discomfort.  You will be in a compression sleeve anywhere from 1-6 weeks depending on your surgeon's preference.  You will experience ups and downs in your swelling for approximately 6 months. 

I suggest seeing an expert.  Liposuction to this area including hi def, takes some time to heal.  You want to go to an expert who uses multiple techniques to get the best results.  Best, Dr. Emer.

You will be back to daily activity immediately after liposuction. Your surgeon may have some restrictions relative to exercise were the arms are used. In my own practice you would be permitted to return to any athletic activity you wished as soon as it is comfortable.
