What is Arm Lift ?

Arm lift , also known as brachioplasty is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms, thus tightening skin and making muscle tone more visible . When you gain weight, the accumulation of fat in your arms increases and, as a result, the skin expands. Arm lift surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to go home shortly after the procedure is complete. An incision will be made on the underside of the upper arm, through which your surgeon will remove excess skin and fatty tissue to sculpt the arm into an aesthetically pleasing shape. The length of the incision will depend on how much tissue needs to be removed. In fact, after removing the fat under the skin in this area, the skin does not shrink beyond a certain level. In this case, the excess in the inner part of the arm is eliminated as skin + fat, and the arm becomes taut. Sometimes, patients will need liposuction in combination with arm lift surgery. If this is the case, the liposuction will be performed at the same time as the brachioplasty. Arm lift surgery takes between one and two hours.

The most frequently asked question about arm lift surgery is : will there be a scar?
Unfortunately, yes & no matter what you do, some scars remain. The decision here is for the patient Either he will continue to live with drooping arms or he will continue to be taut but with some scarring.

The surgery takes an average of 1 to 2 hours and the patient will be discharged the same day after surgery. The patient can resume his social life after 2 days and after 3 weeks he can do all kinds of sports activities .
