What is Arm Lift?

Arm lift, also known as Brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure that aims to smoothen the skin by trimming down excess skin and fat between the underarm and the elbow.

If you have dangling, drooping or sagging skin on your upper arm (which is an inescapable outcome of aging), an arm lift can give you smoother, toner, and well-defined balanced skin. Although exercise can shape your arms, exercise cannot help shape inelastic skin, weakened tissues, and localized fat deposits.

How It Works?

Arm lift works by removal of excess skin and fat from the underarms, the area between armpit and elbow. The skin will then be draped back over the newly repositioned contours to give the tight and firm effect.

At our affiliated hospital, the procedure helps to improve the overall underarm appearance that is due by aging, heredity, or weight loss. In some cases, liposuction may be performed to remove the excess fat and give better results.

The procedure is safe and will be performed under general anesthesia.

Arm Lift Procedure

1. Areas for incision-making will be marked.
2. General anesthesia will be performed.
3. Incisions will be made between axial or armpit and elbow
4. Liposuction would be performed if necessary
5. The tissue in your upper arm will be removed and tightened
6. Incisions will be closed with stitches (monocryl dissolvable)

In preparing for arm lift surgery, patients may be asked to
· Get lab testing or a medical evaluation

Arm Lift Recovery

During the recovery period, a small thin tube may be temporarily placed under the skin to drain any excess blood or fluid at the incision site. Bandages or dressings may be applied to the incision wounds and the arms may be wrapped in an elastic bandage or a compression garment to minimize swelling after the surgery.

Specific instructions will be given on how to care for the surgical site and drains, as well as medications to apply or take orally to aid healing.

FAQ

Q1: Why do I have to avoid alcohol consumption after the treatment?
