The arm lift treatment process always begins with a thorough consultation and evaluation by our experienced plastic surgeon. During this initial step, you will have the opportunity to discuss your concerns and expectations while our doctor examines your arms and assesses the extent of skin sagging.
Based on the evaluation, our doctor will recommend the appropriate treatment option for you. There are several techniques for an arm lift, which may vary depending on your individual needs and goals.
Once you have decided on the treatment, our team will discuss the treatment plan with you and provide you with all the necessary information to prepare for the procedure. This may include discussing medications, taking certain precautions, and clarifying any questions you may have.
On the day of surgery, our team will care for you and prepare you for the procedure. The procedure itself is usually performed under general anesthesia.
During the procedure, our doctor will remove excess skin and fatty tissue, tighten the remaining skin, and reposition it to achieve the desired contour and firmness.
The length and exact extent of the procedure here depends on several factors, including the extent of skin sagging, the technique used, and individual differences. However, as a general rule, an arm lift takes approximately 1 to 3 hours.
After an arm lift, a recovery period is required to ensure optimal recovery. This may vary depending on individual cases, but in general, you should refrain from sports activities for about 1 to 2 weeks. Our team will give you specific instructions on how long you should refrain from physically demanding activities and sports to avoid overuse of the operated areas.
Scars are a natural part of any surgical procedure. During an arm lift, an incision is usually made on the inside of the arm from the elbow to the armpit to remove excess skin and fatty tissue. The exact length and position of the scars will depend on the individual treatment. However, our surgeon will strive to place the scars as discreetly as possible and recommend techniques for scar care. Over time, scars often fade and become less noticeable, although there may be individual differences.
After your procedure, you will receive instructions on postoperative care and recovery. Our team will help support the healing process and ensure you receive appropriate follow-up care. Regular follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor progress and discuss any questions or concerns.
We are available throughout the treatment process to ensure you receive quality care and support. We are committed to helping you achieve your goals and giving you a boosted self-confidence through firmer upper arms.
