What is an Arm Lift?
An Arm Lift, also known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms. It helps to improve the shape and contours of the arms, resulting in a more toned and youthful appearance.
Who is a suitable candidate for Arm Lift?
Individuals who have excess skin and fat in the upper arms, often due to significant weight loss or natural aging, may be suitable candidates for Arm Lift. It is important to have realistic expectations and be in good overall health. A consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon is necessary to determine if you are a suitable candidate.
How is the Arm Lift procedure performed?
During an Arm Lift procedure, an incision is made on the inner or backside of the upper arm. The surgeon removes excess skin and fat and may also tighten the underlying tissues to create a more sculpted appearance. The remaining skin is then repositioned and sutured back into place. The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation.
What is the recovery process like?
After Arm Lift surgery, patients may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the treated area. Special compression garments or dressings will be provided to support the healing process and minimize swelling. It is important to follow the surgeon's post-operative instructions, including avoiding strenuous activities and lifting heavy objects. Most patients can return to normal daily activities within a week or two, but strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for several weeks. The final results will become more apparent as the swelling subsides and the arms heal.
