Arm Lift (Lose Underarm Fat and Be Slimmer)

· Those who plan to have Arm Lift in Bangkok.
· Those with sagging arms/arms with loose skin folds.
· Those who wish to remove excess fat and skin at the arms and elbows.
· Those who want smoother, more tone and defined skin.
· Those who do not smoke, drink and practice a healthy lifestyle.

Brachioplasty, also known as an arm lift, is a surgical procedure that aims to smoothen your 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.

1. Areas for incision-making will be marked.
2. General anaesthesia will be performed.
3. Incisions will be made at the inside/back of your arms.
4. Tissue in your upper arm will be tightened and reshaped.
5. Skin will be pulled back over the remaining tissue and the incision is stitched up.

<Advantages>
· Fixes sagging arms
· Removes fat and excess skin from elbow and underarm area
· Improves physical appearance

<Limitations>
· Risk of bleeding, infection, delayed healing, nerve injury, keloid and adverse response to anaesthesia (as with any other surgery)
· Slightly visible scar / wound

· Strictly follow a balanced diet of low fat and carbohydrates, high fibre, raw greens and fruits.
· Sutures in the arm will allow only limited movement. Such decreased activity can promote constipation. Hence, raw fruits, bread, cereals and a diet containing lot of fibre must be included.
· The pain medication prescribed should be taken consciously. Aspirin should be avoided as it has a tendency to cause gastric ulcers.
· Alcohol should be avoided for at least 3 weeks after surgery as it could interact with pain medication to cause complications such as fluid retention.
· Smoking must not resume until your scars have healed off completely, as nicotine in blood slows down healing and can increase complication risks.

Q1: Will I be asleep?
A1: Yes, general anaesthesia is used.

Q2: Are the results of the arm lift permanent?
A2: Significant fluctuations in weight will negate the results of the surgery.

Q3: Will I have scars after my arm lift?
A3: A linear scar spanning the length of the armpit to the elbow is a major drawback of brachioplasty. This fades away over time in most people and will only be noticeable on a closer look. People who experienced having keloids in the past must weigh the benefits of brachioplasty over the chances of forming large scars.

Q4: I smoke. Is an arm lift suitable for me?
A4: You may still opt for an arm lift if you smoke. However, you must stop smoking for a certain period of time before your arm lift procedure, as not doing so will delay your recovery time.

Q5: I have diabetes. Should I get an arm lift?
A5: Those with a medical condition that might inhibit fast healing such as high BP, High Cholesterol, Diabetes etc, and a weak immune system are recommended not to undergo an arm lift procedure.
