Surgery and scarring go hand-in-hand. Your arm lift incisions may extend from your elbow area to the underarm area. They're placed along the inside of the arm where scars aren't immediately visible during most activities. Using meticulous suturing techniques, Dr. Jean achieves the best possible results in terms of scarring. That said, your scars mature in phases and the entire process can take up to one full year. During this time, you may engage in scar treatment protocols approved by Dr. Jean to facilitate optimal tissue recovery. Additionally, you can promote efficient wound healing by avoiding sun exposure to the area.
