What are you thoughts on skiing 1 month post-op?

February 6, 2019
Asked By:Gentle4844 in Newport News, VA

I had an arm lift done about 12 days ago and I feel like I'm going to be like this forever but I am trying to patient and let myself heal. I asked the surgeon before I had my surgery if he thought it was enough time between my surgery and my ski trip (4 weeks) and he indicated I would be fine. I'm curious about other doctors thoughts on this. I'm really concerned about not being able to ski as I planned this trip almost a year ago.
