Recovery time after a brachioplasty will vary from person to person. In general, it takes approximately one week for the swelling and bruising to dissipate, and two weeks for most of the discomfort to subside. After this point, you should be able to return to your normal activities without any difficulty. You may experience some minor lingering soreness or tenderness in the area for up to four weeks after surgery, but this should fade over time as you continue healing. After undergoing brachioplasty surgery, it is important to follow the post-operative instructions provided by your plastic surgeon in order to maintain results. This may include wearing compression garments as instructed and avoiding strenuous activities for a period of time. Additionally, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with exercise and proper nutrition can help ensure that the results of your procedure last for years to come.
