Arm Lift

Arm Lift as the name suggests is a medical procedure which does the following:

• Reduces excess skin that is drooping downwards
• The underlying supportive tissues are tightened and smoothened thus, defining the shape of the upper arm
• It reduces the localized pockets of fat from the upper arm

Arm Lift also known as Brachioplasty is to be done when a person is not satisfied with the physical appearance of his arms. There are several reasons associated with the sagging skin underneath your arm:

• Sagging skin due to age factor
• Extreme weight loss
• For desire of better looking and toned arms
• Unhygienic and uncomfortable conditions for other normal activities
• Fat pockets which don’t get reduced with diet or exercise

Arm Lift Procedure

The entire procedure of arm lift is a step-wise process. Various steps included in the procedure are as follows:

Step 1 –Anesthesia

This initial step is recommended by the doctor for your comfort during the surgery. However, there are two choices that one can take up including general anesthesia or intravenous sedation.

Step 2 –The Incision

Pattern and incision length during the surgery actually depends on the location and the amount of excess skin to be removed. Usually, the surgeon places an incision either on the inside of the arm or on the back. Excess fat will then be treated with liposuction. Incisions are made depending upon a specific condition. Finally, the skin is smoothed.

Step 3 –Closing of Incisions

Closing of the incision is done either by absorbable sutures or by applying stitches which can be removed within two weeks maximum.

Step 4 –Final Step

Almost immediately after the brachioplasty procedure you can experience a tighter and smoother contour.

Complications Associated with Brachioplasty
This treatment often has some possible complications including:

• Tissue death or skin loss along the wound
• Damage to muscles
• Blood clots
• Risks of bleeding or infection
• Allergic reaction with anesthesia
• Prolonged swelling
• Sensory nerve damage which may cause permanent numbness in upper arm
