Hi, thank you for the interest in healing and recovery after an arm lift.

First, significant Points to consider:

This is highly individual and depends upon many factors, and your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon is uniquely qualified to treat you. That being said:

1. If you are healthy and a non-smoker, you will heal better. And this underpins any answer: this is highly individual and depends upon many factors, and your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon is uniquely qualified to treat you.

2. The length of the scar and more tissue/fat that is removed can affect healing with regard to pain and discomfort.

3. The type of work and lifestyle activities you would like to do

4. Optimal nutrition for optimal healing

5. SPF SPF SPF - protection of wound from the sun for a full year
