\"arm<\/a>If having naturally toned, tight arms isn\u2019t something that you see in your future, then you may want to consider an arm lift from Dr. Gregory Wiener. An arm lift<\/a> or a brachioplasty is a surgical procedure that\u2019s designed to help patients with loose, hanging skin on their upper arms. Oftentimes, a brachioplasty is combined with liposuction to help enhance the shape and appearance of the upper arms.<\/p>\n

As one of the most important aspects of any surgical procedure, it\u2019s important to know what to expect while recovering and how you can speed up the recovery process. Let\u2019s take a closer look.<\/p>\n

Avoid Heavy Lifting and Strenuous Activities<\/h2>\n

If you are a parent or grandparent to young kids that need to be held, ask for help during this time. \u00a0Heavy lifting of any kind\u2014 including of young children\u2014 can be harmful to your incisions. Try to avoid any strenuous activities or heavy lifting for about 4-6 weeks after surgery or until Dr. Gregory Wiener gives you the go ahead.<\/p>\n

Take Time Off From Work<\/h2>\n

On average, patients can return back to work after about one full week of recovery. Because you won\u2019t be able to move your arms very well during your first week of recovery and because you may be in some post-op pain, we encourage you to take off a full week from work.<\/p>\n

Take Pain Medication<\/h2>\n

Depending on your health and the type of pain you are experiencing will determine what pain medications Dr. Gregory Wiener will recommend. Some pain medications can also help with swelling.<\/p>\n

Once you are sent home after surgery, we don\u2019t expect you to know exactly what to do and what you are going to experience which is why we have created this guide and will send you home with a detailed recovery pamphlet. If you are ready to learn more about arm lift surgery or if you want to schedule your consultation, contact Dr. Gregory Wiener at our Chicago office today: Call Us<\/a> Today: (773) 763-3990<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
