Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)
Arm Lift surgery, also known as brachioplasty, aims to tighten and reshape the sagging or loose skin of the upper arms.
Arm Lift surgery may be helpful to patients that have loose or hanging skin and excess fat in the upper arms despite toning exercises, or if they have lost a significant amount of weight.
Incisions along the inner arm are necessary to tighten and reshape the upper arm. If skin tone is good, Liposuction techniques alone may reshape the arm by removing excess fat.
Arm lift surgery is typically performed in an outpatient setting under general anesthesia. The surgery may require an overnight stay when combined with other procedures.
Recovery depends on the extent of your surgery, and any accompanying procedures. Light activity can be done the day after your surgery, a return to more normal activity may take 1-2 weeks or more.
Light compression garments may be recommended during your recovery to help reduce fluid retention and shape your now trimmer arms.
Results may be long-term, but weight loss/gain or natural aging may alter your appearance.
