Arm Lifting: Achieve Toned and Sculpted Arms
Overview
Arm lifting, also known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms, resulting in a more toned and contoured appearance. This treatment is ideal for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss or have sagging skin due to aging. By reshaping the arms, patients can enjoy greater confidence and comfort in their clothing.
Procedure Options
- Standard Brachioplasty: Involves an incision along the inner arm from the armpit to the elbow, allowing for the removal of a significant amount of excess skin and fat.
- Limited-Incision Brachioplasty: Suitable for patients with mild to moderate sagging, this procedure involves a smaller incision localized to the armpit area.
- Extended Brachioplasty: Combines an arm lift with the removal of excess skin and fat from the side of the chest for those with significant sagging.
- Liposuction: Often combined with brachioplasty to remove excess fat and enhance the overall contour of the arms.
Benefits:
- Improved arm contours and skin tone
- Enhanced self-confidence and comfort
- Ability to wear sleeveless clothing without embarrassment
- Reduction in skin irritation caused by excess skin
Risks:
- Scarring, which typically fades over time but may be significant
- Changes in skin sensation
- Asymmetry or uneven results
- Infection or bleeding
- Potential need for revision surgery

Recovery and Aftercare

- Pain Management: Mild to moderate pain, swelling, and bruising are common after surgery and can be managed with prescribed medications.
- Post-Surgery Care: Follow your surgeon’s instructions regarding wound care, wearing a compression garment to reduce swelling, and attending follow-up appointments to monitor your healing process.
