Once the skin is removed, tightened and the stitched back together, the results are visible immediately. There could be slight bruises and swelling and initial mild to moderate discomfort but the patients are prescribed pain medications for the same. The recovery time for the procedure is only 1-2 weeks. The bandages and stitches are removed after the first week and the patient can return to their normal lifestyle after that. Things to be taken care of during this time are:

• Avoid any kind of heavy lifting
• Avoid exercise that may target the specific area, walking is the best exercise post-surgery.
• Avoid medicines or activities that may risk bleeding at the surgical site.

If the patient follows a healthy lifestyle and avoids too many weight fluctuations, the results can stay for many years. But the age factor can't be denied. As the person ages, the skin will tend to become loose, or sag as normal.

With pros come the cons of the procedure. Every surgery has potential complications, and risks, and we need to decide if we accept them before surgery. The risks involved in the Arm lifting procedure are almost inconsiderate and unlikely. But some of the risks linked to Arm lifting process are:

• Reaction to the anaesthesia
• Bleeding or infection under the skin
• Increased healing time
• Infection
• Loss of sensation or numbness
• Damage to the muscles that lie beneath the stitches
• Persisting pain
• Blood clots or Hematoma
• Unwanted scarring

All of these concerns should be clarified with the doctors beforehand so that your process and recovery are both smooth and desirable. The risks are minimalistic if the advice of the plastic surgeon is followed before and after the Arm lift surgery.

The most important decision to make before undertaking the intervention is to pick the right and the best surgeon for you. These are some criteria you could follow to help you:

1. Qualification: Education and Certification

The surgeon should definitely be well educated and have enough training in the related field. He/ she should be from accredited medical colleges and should be an active member in his/ her field. Attending workshops and latest seminars, ensures that the surgeon is equipped with the new techniques in the field. The certification on his/ her wall should definitely be from the reputed Board of Medicine.

2. Surgery profile

The number of cases experienced by the surgeon definitely suggests his/ her expertise in the field. Successful cases with the ones that aren’t so successful should be weighed in. Pictures of 'before' and 'after' can help you with the insight into the surgeon's past experiences. Word of mouth is a good way to come to a conclusion as you can get opinions of patients that have undergone the same process that you wish to undertake.

3. Comfort level with the doctor and the clinic

The clinic facilities play a quintessential role in choosing the right doctor. The clinic should be equipped with the latest of technologies, should be hygienic, with a well-organized management. When the staff is courteous and polite, the healing process becomes easier and quicker. It's helpful if the staff is well-trained, approachable and is patient with your queries and doubts.
