Arm Lift

An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the upper arm to improve its contour and appearance.

A good candidate for an arm lift is someone who has loose skin and excess fat in the upper arms, often due to aging, weight loss, or genetics.

An arm lift is performed under general anesthesia and involves making incisions in the arm to remove excess skin and fat. The remaining skin is then tightened and sutured back together.

Recovery time for an arm lift varies, but most patients can resume normal activities after two to three weeks. It may take several months for the swelling to fully subside and the final results to become visible.

Yes, there will be scarring after an arm lift. The incision is typically made on the underside of the arm and may extend from the armpit to the elbow. However, the scar will fade over time and can be easily covered with clothing.

The risks associated with an arm lift include bleeding, infection, scarring, and nerve damage. However, these risks can be minimized by choosing a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon.

Yes, an arm lift can be combined with other procedures, such as liposuction or a breast lift, to enhance the overall body contour.

The results of an arm lift are permanent, but they can be affected by weight gain or loss and aging.

An arm lift is performed under general anesthesia, so you will not feel any pain during the procedure. After the surgery, you may experience some discomfort, which can be managed with pain medication.

The cost of an arm lift varies depending on the surgeon’s experience, the location of the practice, and the extent of the procedure. It is important to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon to get an accurate cost estimate.
