Arm Lift

An Arm lift called Brachioplasty as well is a plastic operation to tighten the tissue of the area under your upper arms. It also decreases drooping skin and regional fat. Losing weight, weight increase, and ageing can cause saggy skin.

Suitable Candidates for Arm Lift Surgery

Typical candidates for an arm lift are:

• People who are healthy and do not have any health issues that affect recovery or increase the risk of operation.
• Individuals whose weight is fixed and are not overweight.
• People who have considerable skin elasticity in their upper arms.
• People who do not smoke.

Before the Operation

Your surgeon will assess your overall health and any risk factors or underlying medical disorders, consider your ideas, and discuss possible risks. Then will check the undersides of your upper arms to decide on your treatment choices. You must understand every stage of your arm lift operation. You should also stop smoking a few weeks before the procedure.

How is an Arm Lift Surgery Performed?

Sedation and general anaesthesia will be applied in the arm lift surgery. On the undersides of your arms, your plastic surgeon will create incisions. The amount of skin that will be removed determines the incisions’ length and shape. After that, the surgeon will remove fat and tighten the underarm tissues and close the incisions with stitches. To remove fat, the surgeon could also employ the liposuction method.

After the Operation

Your wounds will be bandaged after the operation to reduce the swelling. Besides, to drain any extra blood or fluid, little tubes may be inserted into your arms. You may use antibiotics as prescribed and use medicine as required to avoid surgical site infections. For three to four weeks following an arm lift, avoid stretching the arms higher than shoulder height and physical activities.

Why Isn’t Liposuction Enough to Solve the Problem?

Because there is no scarring, patients prefer liposuction. But, after liposuction, the extra skin remains. An arm lift and liposuction mix is occasionally a choice if you have extra arm skin but underneath fat maintains the skin firm. However, only an arm lift, is the best solution for drooping underarms.
