What is Arm Lift?
Arm lift surgery, also known as brachioplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that involves the removal of excess skin and fat from the upper arm. This procedure is usually done to address sagging or flabby skin on the upper arms, which can be caused by aging, weight loss, or genetics.
During the procedure, the surgeon will make an incision on the underside of the arm, from the armpit to the elbow. Excess skin and fat will be removed, and the remaining skin will be pulled tight and sutured back together. The incision will then be closed with stitches.
Procedure
Generally, the surgery takes around 1-2 hours to complete. However, the exact length of the procedure may depend on factors such as the amount of excess skin and fat to be removed, the technique used.
Recovery
Patients should expect to take around 1-2 weeks off work to rest and recover, and should avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activity for at least 4-6 weeks after the surgery.
Anesthesia
Brachioplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia, which means that you will be completely unconscious during the procedure. This allows the surgeon to perform the surgery safely and effectively.
