back to gym after brachioplasty...

Hi all. I am hoping to have a Brachioplasty next March. Has anyone on this forum had that done, and if so, how long before you could start any excercizing again? thanks! Teresa

Hi Teresa This is my first post here, so I hope you find this helpful. My brachioplasty was 3 months ago. The arms actually healed fairly fast, despite me having a lot of extra swelling. (I'm just a juicy person). But you want to make sure you're healed - give it 4 to 6 weeks. If you have some lipo with your brachioplasty you may have some residual soreness. (I do!!) However, I am still able to do push ups, etc despite the soreness. I just started working out again last week, but I also had a bodylift and my hernia repaired. Since the hernia was major, my PS wanted me to give it 8 weeks to heal. Good luck!! Sharyn
