Post Operative Care: Arm Lift

AFTER SURGERY

SHOWERING AND BATHING: Once Dr. Zubowski removes the dressings, you may wash or shower. Water and cleanliness will help, not harm.

DRESSINGS: The dressings placed at the time of surgery usually stay in place for several days. Dr. Zubowski will change them at the office.

ACTIVITIES: Use your arms carefully and gently until the staff gives you clearance for full activities — usually in 3-4 weeks.

DRIVING: You can probably drive as soon as you are comfortable. Let your body “tell” you when you are ready. If you have questions, ask the staff.

AS YOU HEAL

FADING OF SCARS: Initially, the scars will appear red or dark pink, and they will slowly fade over a period of months to a year or more.

WIDENING OF SCARS: Scars will start out very narrow, but may widen over time. Neither you nor Dr. Zubowski can control their eventual width.

“Dr. Zubowski said to me, ‘The skin on your face, the fat placement on your face is still very good, but your neck is not going to snap back because of your age and it lost elasticity,’ so right then and there, I said, ‘Okay, let’s do a facelift.’”

“I am in my 76th year. Anything you see that does not look 76, is because Dr. Zubowski is a perfectionist. He takes his time and you feel so at ease. I felt very confident that whatever he would do would be perfect for me. To say I recommend Dr. Zubowski is an understatement.”
