Looking to Firm and Refresh Your Arms?
An Arm Lift, or Brachioplasty, focuses on reshaping the upper arms by removing loose skin and fat. This procedure involves making an incision along the arm’s inner or back side to remove excess tissue, followed by tightening the remaining skin. Often recommended for those dealing with sagging skin from aging or significant weight loss, the surgery can also be paired with liposuction for improved contouring. An arm lift can:
- Improve Arm Contours: Removes excess skin and fat to create a firmer, more toned appearance.
- Boost Confidence: Many patients feel more comfortable wearing sleeveless clothing and engaging in activities that expose the arms.
- Provide Long-Lasting Results: Arm lift results are long-lasting, especially when combined with a healthy lifestyle.
What Should I Know About The Procedure?
The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes about 1-3 hours, depending on the extent of correction required. An incision is made from the underarm to the elbow, following the natural contours of the arm. Excess skin and fat are removed, and the underlying tissue is reshaped and tightened. The incisions are then closed with hidden sutures that dissolve under the skin, and bandages are applied to support the arms during recovery.
Recovery from an arm lift involves wearing a compression garment to minimize swelling and support the healing tissues. Most patients can return to light activities within a week, but strenuous activities should be avoided for several weeks. Final results become more apparent as swelling subsides, revealing a more contoured arm shape.
