Preparing for Your Arm Lift Procedure

Are you considering undergoing an arm lift procedure to achieve well-toned, youthful-looking arms? Before scheduling your surgery, it is crucial to fully understand the process and adequately prepare for the procedure. At Foley James D MD, we prioritize your safety and satisfaction, and we want to ensure a smooth and successful arm lift surgery. In this guide, we provide comprehensive before surgery instructions to help you prepare effectively.

Consultation with Dr. Ralph Bashioum

Before undergoing any surgical procedure, it is important to schedule a consultation with Dr. Ralph Bashioum. During this initial meeting, Dr. Bashioum will assess your goals, examine your arm's condition, and determine if you are a suitable candidate for an arm lift procedure.

Medical Evaluation and Recommendations

Prior to your arm lift surgery, you may be required to undergo a medical evaluation to ensure you are in good health to proceed with the procedure. Dr. Bashioum may also request certain medical tests, such as blood tests or an electrocardiogram, to gain a comprehensive understanding of your overall health.

Based on the results of your medical evaluation and tests, Dr. Bashioum will provide you with personalized recommendations and instructions to optimize your arm lift surgery's success. It is essential to follow these recommendations closely.

Pre-Surgery Lifestyle Adjustments

In preparation for your arm lift procedure, it is beneficial to make some lifestyle adjustments to promote a healthy recovery and desirable outcomes. Here are a few recommendations to consider:

  • Nutrition: Maintaining a well-balanced diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and proteins can support healthy healing and minimize recovery time. Ensure you have an adequate intake of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains.
  • Exercise: Engaging in regular exercise, such as arm-strengthening exercises recommended by your surgeon or physical therapist, can help improve muscle tone and enhance your surgical results.
  • Smoking Cessation: If you are a smoker, it is strongly advised to quit smoking before your arm lift surgery. Smoking can impair the healing process and increase the risk of complications.
  • Medication Review: Make sure to inform Dr. Bashioum about any medications, supplements, or herbal remedies you are currently taking. Certain medications or substances may need to be temporarily halted or adjusted before and after the surgery.
  • Arrange Support: Before your arm lift procedure, it is helpful to have a support system in place. Arrange for someone to accompany you on the day of the surgery and assist you during the initial recovery period.

Pre-Surgery Instructions

Following Dr. Bashioum's recommendations, it is important to adhere to the specific pre-surgery instructions provided. Here are some general instructions that may be applicable:

  • Fasting: You may be required to fast for a certain period of time (usually overnight) before the surgery. This ensures an empty stomach, reducing the risk of complications during anesthesia.
  • Hydration: It is important to stay well-hydrated before your arm lift procedure. Drink plenty of water and avoid excessive caffeine or alcohol consumption.
  • Schedule Transportation: Arrange for someone to drive you to and from the surgery center or hospital. After the procedure, you may feel groggy or experience discomfort, making it unsafe for you to drive.
  • Avoid Certain Medications: Dr. Bashioum may suggest avoiding specific medications or supplements in the days leading up to your arm lift surgery. These may include blood-thinning medications or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) that can increase bleeding risks.
  • Follow Skin Care Guidelines: Dr. Bashioum may recommend a specific skincare routine before the surgery, including cleansing the arm area with gentle, non-irritating products. Proper skincare can enhance surgical outcomes.

Pre-Surgery Final Meeting

Prior to your arm lift procedure, you will have a final meeting with Dr. Ralph Bashioum to address any last-minute concerns or questions. This meeting is an opportunity for clarification and peace of mind before your surgery.
