What will my recovery be like?

You may feel some pain for the first day or two, especially when you move around or cough, as well as some discomfort for a week or more. Medication will be prescribed to lessen the pain.

Bandages will be removed a day or two after surgery, and a surgical garment will be necessary for several weeks, until the swelling and bruising subside.

We advise that any sexual activity be avoided for at least the first week. Any heavy lifting, straining, and overexertion should also be avoided. We will recommend when you can resume your normal activities, based on the extent of your surgery and your lifestyle. It may be six months before your arms achieve their final shape.

What are the risks?

As with any surgical procedure, there are risks involved, such as infection or bleeding. Numbness in the arms is also possible. Some scars may stay visible. However, most scars gradually fade over the first year. Complications are rare.
