Brachioplasty Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

The recovery period for arm lift patients typically spans several weeks, though your timeline will depend on the extent of your procedure and how your body responds to healing.

Typical Arm Lift Recovery Timeline

• Day 1–3: Expect soreness, tightness, and swelling. You’ll be prescribed pain medication to stay comfortable.
• Week 1: Initial swelling begins to subside. A compression garment is worn to decrease swelling and aid healing.
• Week 2: Most patients can return to light activity or non-strenuous work.
• Week 3–4: Gradual increase in mobility. You’ll attend follow-up appointments to monitor healing.
• Weeks 6+: You can resume strenuous physical activities and exercise routines.

Scars typically fade over the first year. Dr. Mirzabeigi uses strategic techniques to place incisions where they are best concealed, such as along the inner upper arm or within natural folds.

Final results will be visible after swelling resolves, giving you a tighter, more sculpted arm contour that aligns with your overall goals.
