Can You Get a Tummy Tuck and Arm Lift at the Same Time?
Yes, combining arm lift surgery and a tummy tuck is popular for patients looking to address excess skin and improve overall body proportions. These procedures complement each other by removing loose skin in key areas, resulting in a more defined and contoured shape.
The benefits of combining these procedures include the following:
- Balanced results: Addressing the arms and abdomen together creates a natural, proportional look.
- Fewer recovery periods: Undergoing both surgeries simultaneously minimizes the need for multiple healing phases.
- Comprehensive transformation: Targeting both areas enhances body confidence and improves clothing fit.
Your safety is our top priority. Dr. Ronald Figueredo will assess your medical history and goals to determine whether a combined procedure is a safe and effective option for you.
What to Expect from Arm Lift and Tummy Tuck Recovery
While combining procedures streamlines recovery, planning a smooth healing process is important. Key recovery milestones include:
- First week: Swelling and discomfort are most noticeable, but pain medication helps manage symptoms.
- Weeks 2-4: Most patients resume light activities, but heavy lifting should still be avoided.
- Months 3-6: Final results become visible as swelling subsides and tissues fully heal.
Following your post-operative care plan, including wearing compression garments and avoiding strenuous movements, will support proper healing.
Benefits of Combining Brachioplasty and Abdominoplasty
Undergoing arm lift surgery, and a tummy tuck together offer more than just aesthetic improvements, such as:
- Stronger core and arm definition: Eliminating loose skin enhances muscle tone and body contours.
- Better posture and mobility: Removing excess skin can improve movement and comfort.
- More confidence in clothing: Enjoy wearing sleeveless tops and fitted outfits without concern over sagging skin.
Many patients find that pairing these procedures leads to long-term satisfaction with their results.
