CONTACT NOW Answer: Nerve Pain After Brachioplasty Thank you for reaching out about the sharp nerve pain you're experiencing in your left forearm following a brachioplasty. Swelling is expected after an arm lift, and this swelling can sometimes compress the nerves, leading to pain. It's crucial to inform your plastic surgeon about this pain. To alleviate swelling, I recommend: Keep your elbows and wrists straight. Elevating your hands above your heart. Using compression garments. By following these suggestions, the swelling and associated nerve pain should diminish. Always consult with your surgeon regarding any post-operative concerns. Sincerely, Dr. Katzen

Answer: Arm lift surgery & travel It is best to wait at least ten days to avoid severe blood clots in the legs. If you do decide to travel, all of your luggage needs to be assisted. Do not carry anything that will put weight on your arm in any way. Compression socks can help while flying, and walking can aid in improving blood circulation. Hope this helps.

Answer: Traveling after surgery Traveling is usually not recommended after surgery for about 2 weeks or until advised by your doctor. Not only can it cause healing delays but there is a risk of blood clot development. Defiantly talk to your doctor before you have surgery if you are keeping your traveling plans so you can make sure you give yourself the best post operative care. Best of luck!
