A member asked:

Thanks what is the approximate timeframe for armplasty recovery.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Varies: Depending on the technique, you should expect pain to start getting better after a couple days and range of motion and strength to slowly improve over the first couple months. In general, 4-6 weeks off of work and another 4-6 weeks of light duty after that.
