This usually takes several months, but it is crucial to consult with your plastic surgeon who can assess your healing progress and provide specific guidance based on your individual case, ensuring optimal results and minimizing any potential risks or complications.

Will an arm lift improve the appearance of cellulite on my arms?
While an arm lift can address excess skin and fat on the upper arms, it is important to note that it may not directly improve the appearance of cellulite. However, in some cases, the tightening of the skin during the procedure may have a positive impact on the overall texture and contour of the arms, potentially reducing the visibility of cellulite to some extent. Your surgeon will evaluate your specific concerns during the consultation and discuss the best treatment options available to achieve your desired outcome.
