I am a 37 year old female. I want to know how long do you wear a compression garment after an arm lift?

Typically you would need to wear the compression garment for at least the first few weeks after surgery.

I usually only have arm garments for around 2 weeks. This is far less that with other areas such as abdomen, hips, thighs or even back. i have added Bodytite which works well to tighten the elastin fibers and can reduce skin surface by 30% avoiding making and incisions leaving scars. It has very limited bruising and the skin continues to tighten up to six moths to a year and is a persistent result only reversed by aging. The early result is good in a few weeks but keeps getting better. You are young and have good elastin fibers. If you do need surgical skin reduction, I combine the Bodytite treatment as well.

We prefer 4 to 6 weeks.
