Awake Arm Lift with Liposuction | 6 Weeks Post Op 💪

Performed by Sarasota plastic surgeon Dr. Kristopher Hamwi, this procedure removes excess skin while also sculpting stubborn fat that diet and exercise alone can’t address. Because it’s performed under local anesthesia, patients avoid general anesthesia and typically experience a quicker recovery with precise contouring.

At this stage (6 weeks post-op), most swelling and bruising have improved, incisions are healing, and results are becoming more visible, with continued refinement over the next several months.

An awake arm lift may be a good option for patients who have:
• Loose or hanging upper-arm skin
• Volume changes after weight loss
• Difficulty toning the upper arms despite exercise

📍 Proudly serving patients in Sarasota, Florida, and beyond!

7 WEEK POST OP | AWAKE ARM LIFT ⬇️

One of the most common questions Dr. Hamwi receives during arm lift consultations is: What are PICO dressings and why are they used?

Dr. Hamwi incorporates PICO negative pressure dressings following awake brachioplasty to support a more controlled and efficient healing process. By delivering gentle, continuous negative pressure, PICO dressings help reduce swelling, manage fluid buildup, protect the incision, and decrease tension on the surgical site, key factors in promoting improved scar outcomes and optimal healing! ❤️‍🩹
