Scarless Arm Lift Surgery – Post-operative Care & Recovery
Scarless arm lift surgery is an ideal solution for people who have flabby arms due to weight fluctuations, aging or heredity. Diet and exercise have limitations in this area and the arms are considered to be hard-to-treat area. The fat deposits, loss of skin elasticity and sagginess of the skin in this area can be treated and the arm reshaped through this procedure, leaving no marks on the treated area. To experience the best outcome, you must strictly follow all post-operative care instructions prescribed by your plastic surgeon.
Scarless Arm Liposuction Procedure Arm lift and arm liposuction are performed by a single minimally invasive procedure using the BodyTite device. This is an FDA-approved procedure that removes the excess fat deposits using RAFL (Radio Frequency Assisted Liposuction) technology. The surgery is performed under local anesthesia, and the device’s radiofrequency probe is inserted through small incisions made on the upper arm. The radiofrequency energy melts the fat cells and gently heats the soft tissue that is being contoured to provide a superior skin tightening effect with literally no scars.
Post-operative Care – Major Considerations Arm lift procedure along with arm liposuction normally takes 30-45 minutes to complete. Even though you can expect to see the results within weeks after the surgery, it’s important to ensure proper post-operative care to obtain optimal results. www.bodysculpt.com

• Each patient is unique when it comes to recovery time; usually it takes almost 3 weeks for recovery after the surgery and 6 weeks to start normal exercises. • It is recommended to keep the treated arms raised above your heart; and a surgical drain may be placed by the surgeon to help contain the possibility of swelling. • To ensure proper healing and skin tightening, a compression garment may be recommended for a couple of months. • Keep yourself hydrated by drinking lots of water with lemon that will help reduce the swelling. Monitor the hydration by making sure that you are urinating regularly. • Stay away from acidic or greasy foods. Go with the foods that are easy to digest. • Check with the surgical drain, small traces of blood is expected. If there is excess bleeding, immediately contact your surgeon. • Bed rest is not mandatory, but arm exercises and lifting things are not recommended. Walking, on the other hand, is encouraged during the recovery time. • Avoid medications such as aspirin containing medicines, herbal supplements, vitamin E, and non-steroidal inflammatory drugs because these can increase bleeding. • Smoking, and consuming tobacco and alcohol should be avoided prior to and after the surgery.
