Recovery Tips For Your Arm Lift

• Get Help From A Family Member
  • Avoiding strenuous activity is important not just to the recovery process but also to not affect the results of the procedure.
• Rest!
  • Without rest, your results can be affected or your recovery may take longer than needed!
• Stay Hydrated
  • Dehydration can elongate your recovery, so it is important to keep drinking fluids.
• Limit Exercise Or Avoid It For The First Month
  • After a procedure, it is important to give your body adequate rest time; even if you feel ready, it will be important to limit exercise until you’ve had your first postoperative appointment and check-in for the doctor to be able to assess your recovery.
