Since this procedure includes general anesthesia, you should arrange for transportation. Driving is not safe following any surgery where you have been completely unconscious. If you need assistance with this step, our team can help get you the ride you need.

Stay hydrated before your arm lift in Port St. Lucie. This is essential when preparing for your procedure, as your body requires plenty of water to heal properly.

Finally, you should wear loose-fitting clothing on the day of your appointment. We often recommend button-ups, as you should not wear any garments that need to be removed by lifting your arms over your head.

Scarring is unavoidable with brachioplasty surgery. However, not all resulting scars are prominent. Your unique healing process determines whether your scar is easily visible. We can also provide you with ways to reduce the appearance of your scars with minimally invasive treatments such as Laser Skin Treatments and RF Microneedling.

For an arm lift, the incision usually runs from the elbow to the underarm. This placement makes it easier to hide the scar. If you feel self-conscious about the visibility of your scar tissue, get in touch with us and we can help address your concerns.

Initial results usually appear after about 2 weeks. This gives you enough time to take the necessary rest you need to heal. Once any swelling or bruising has gone down, you may notice an improvement in the sagging of your arms. Many patients report that their “bat wings” have completely disappeared thanks to their arm lift.

For full results, you will need to wait for 3 to 6 months. Your tissues will need time to settle beneath your skin and completely recover. Older patients may see these results later than others, as age can affect how quickly your body heals.

In order to maintain your results, you must keep up an optimal diet and exercise routine. You will need to refrain from exercising until Dr. S. Darrell Lee clears you. However, resuming your active lifestyle as soon as possible is the best way to keep that unwanted fat at bay permanently.

Outside of the traditional payment methods, we also accept CareCredit and Alphaeon financing. If you want to pay for our services over time rather than all at once, this is the service for you. Acting similarly to a credit card, CareCredit and Alphaeon use a monthly payment system that offers benefits the more you use it. For all your medical treatments and procedures, you can use these services to cover the costs without worrying about ruining your budget.
