| Thigh, Butt and Arm Lifts: Recovery |
|
 |
For the first week following surgery, you will be allowed light activity only with no bending or lifting. While each case is individual, recovery from arm lift generally takes one to two weeks; you'll be able to return to work in a week, moderate exercise in 10 days to two weeks, more physical contact sports after a month. Thigh and buttocks lift recovery generally takes one to two weeks; you can usually return to work in a couple of weeks, and resume vigorous exercise or contact sports in approximately four to six weeks.
You will probably have several layers of stitches with both arm lift and thigh/buttock/hip lifts. Some will be absorbable and some may be removed by your doctor in follow-up visits.
