Why consider an arm lift?
Many elements influence the aspect of your arms: skin quality and
skin tone, fat distribution, muscle volume, and even the way your
arms are positioned. In addition, weight changes, aging, and heredity may cause your upper arms to have a drooping, sagging appearance that cannot be corrected through exercise. An arm lift is a procedure to improve your arm definition, enhance the contour,
and reduce the skin excess if needed.
Arm lift procedure
Several surgical options are possible, some with incisions and some without: radio-frequency skin tightening, liposuction with plasmaenergy skin tightening, liposuction with limited skin excision, or liposuction with extended skin excision. The best results are achieved when both the skin and fat are tackled by targeted fat reduction and advanced skin tightening. If sufficient skin retraction cannot be achieved, skin excision is needed. The incision length depends on the amount and location of the skin excess. In the case of skin excision, the scar is placed on the inside or back of the arm, depending on the patient’s and surgeon’s preference. To determine the best treatment, several aspects of your arms need to be analyzed: skin quality and tone, skin and fat excess, the zone of skin excess, and the skin-fat ratio. Which technique is the best for you, depends on your wishes and expectations, as well as the anatomical structures and tissues that need to be treated.
Arm lift recovery period
An arm lift has a downtime of 1 week with easy wound care. After the surgery, you should avoid physical activity and wear compression garments for 6 weeks.
