After Surgery – Arm Lift

The elastic bandages are worn for two to three weeks, so the final results from arm-lift surgery won’t be seen for some time.  While there is some pain following surgery, most can be controlled with medications prescribed by Dr. Bartell.  Most patients can be back at desk type work within 5 to 7 days.

Almost all patients are extremely pleased with their decision to undergo surgery.  Your decision to have an arm-lift surgery is a highly personal one and one that not everyone will understand.  The important thing is how you feel about it.  If the procedure results meet your pre-operative goals, then your surgery is truly a success.
