Patients undergoing an arm lift should refrain from driving for at least one to two weeks after the procedure. This precaution is necessary as driving requires arm and shoulder movement, which may still be restricted and uncomfortable during the initial recovery period. Always heed your surgeon's specific instructions and wait until you have regained sufficient arm strength and mobility before resuming driving. Prioritize safety and consult your surgeon if you have concerns about engaging in activities like driving after brachioplasty.
