What is an Arm Lift?
An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure that improves the shape and appearance of the upper arms. The surgery involves the removal of excess skin and fat from the upper arms and the tightening the underlying muscles.
Patients of any age can undergo arm lift surgery, but it most commonly occurs on those who have lost significant amounts of weight or developed loose skin due to aging.
The Arm Lift Procedure
The arm lift procedure usually takes place under general anesthesia. During the procedure, the surgeon will make an incision in the upper arm, usually along the inside of the arm.
The surgeon will remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms through this incision. The surgeon will then tighten the underlying muscles and suture the incisions closed.
Recovery and Expected Results
After the arm lift procedure, patients will need to take it easy for a few days. They will likely experience some swelling and bruising in the arms, which will resolve over time.
Most patients can return to work and their normal activities within a week or two.
The results of the arm lift surgery are typically long-lasting. However, it is crucial to maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle to ensure the longevity of the results.
