Your surgical journey with Dr. Motykie begins with a personalized, private consultation at his West Hollywood, CA, offices. Your consultation is a time to discuss your vision for your physique, ask questions, and get a better idea of Dr. Motykie’s advanced body sculpting techniques. He will examine you physically and review your medical history to make sure you are healthy enough to undergo surgery without complications or setbacks.
Once Dr. Motykie clears you for the surgery and your arm lift treatment date has been set, you will be asked to follow a few guidelines in preparation for your appointment. Dr. Motykie may request additional lab testing and discontinuation of certain medications that can enhance swelling and bruising. You should arrange to have a friend or family member pick you up after your procedure, as you will be unable to drive yourself home. Additionally, you should arrange for childcare and pet care ahead of time so you can focus on resting and recuperating after your arm lift.
