Arm Lift Recovery
Bandages and compression garments will be applied to minimize swelling. You will experience some bruising, swelling and discomfort for a couple of weeks. This can be managed with prescription medication from your surgeon.
Recovery times vary. In most cases, you should be able to resume normal activities in 7-10 days. At this point the stitches will also be removed. Strenuous activity should be avoided for a month or more.
You will have permanent scarring following an arm lift. Your scars will appear raised and pink or dark brown for the first several months of recovery. Over the course of 12-18 months, your scars will begin to gradually flatten and fade.
As with all surgical procedures, there are risks associated with an arm lift. Potential risks include infection, asymmetry, changes in sensitivity, excessive scarring and irregular appearance. All of these risks, along with any steps you can take to minimize them, will be discussed at length during your consultation.

Arm Lift Surgery with Dr. Jaibaji
An arm lift is performed under either general anesthetic or intravenous sedation. Incisions lengths vary depending on the extent of your arm lift. Minor arm lifts will only require small incisions that can be concealed in the armpit.
Those who have only a small amount of excess skin and fat may be eligible for this incision length. In more significant arm lifts, incisions will extend from the armpit to the elbow. When at all possible, incisions will be concealed within the natural contour of your arms.
Once the incision has been made, excess fat and tissue will be removed or repositioned. The skin is then stretched into a tighter, firmer position and excess skin is trimmed away. All incisions will be secured with sutures. In some cases, liposuction can be used to remove excess fat during surgery.
Arm lift Cost
The price of arm lift will depend on the type. Prices start at $7500 for mini arm lift. The price can go up to $14,000 for extended arm lift with large area of liposuction. The cost included the price of the facility and anesthesia. Financing is available through Credit Credit.
