Arm Lift

An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure that is performed to reshape and improve the appearance of the upper arms. This procedure is typically performed on patients who have loose, saggy skin on their upper arms as a result of aging, weight loss, or other factors.

The arm lift procedure involves the removal of excess skin and fat from the upper arms, and the tightening of the underlying tissues. The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes several hours to complete. The incisions used in the arm lift procedure are usually placed on the inside of the arm, and are designed to be concealed by clothing and arm movement.

Recovery from an arm lift procedure can take several weeks, and patients will need to wear a compression garment to support the healing process. During the recovery period, patients will experience some swelling and bruising, which will gradually subside over time. In addition, patients will need to avoid strenuous activity for several weeks following the procedure to allow for proper healing.

Overall, an arm lift is an effective procedure for improving the appearance of the upper arms, and is well-suited for individuals who have loose, saggy skin on their upper arms. If you are considering an arm lift, it is important to speak with a qualified plastic surgeon to determine if the procedure is right for you and to discuss the potential risks and benefits.
