Arm skin tightening

Upper arm lift

Arm lift or brachioplasty is a surgical procedure that aims to get rid of excess fat in the arms, and tighten the sagging and sagging skin in them.

There are many solutions that are offered to solve this problem related to arm sagging, and these solutions are represented in three types of surgery:

First: Liposuction of the arms

Second: liposuction with stretch marks

Third: Tighten the sagging of the arms

What are the steps of the procedure?

Arm lift surgery can be performed under general or local anesthesia.

Often, incisions that extend from the armpit to the elbow are made on the underside of the arms so that the scars cannot be seen unless the arms are raised.

The stretched and sagging skin and excess fat are removed and the remaining skin is tightened.

If there is a high percentage of stubborn fat in the arms, liposuction can also be done to reach the best result.

At the end of the procedure, the incision is sutured into several layers of tissue to strengthen the overlying skin in a stable and permanent manner

Finally, bandages are placed on the arms, as well as a compression bandage, which you must wear for the next 6 weeks. Not only does it reduce swelling, but it also ensures good wound healing and better results.

Recovering from arm aesthetics

The patient stays in the hospital for at least one day, and the patient must abide by the instructions and instructions dictated to him by the doctor after the operation to obtain the best results and speed up the healing process without risks or damage. From these instructions

Avoid strenuous activities and exercise for 4 to 6 weeks

Wear a compression corset or a medical bandage to reduce swelling and maintain the new shape of the arms for at least 6 weeks after the operation.

A small drainage tube may be placed at the incision site to drain any excess blood or fluid for the first few days after surgery and this is normal

Recovery from arm lift surgery takes between two and a few weeks.

What are the risks of tightening sagging arms?

Although arm lift surgery is considered a safe procedure, there are some risks associated with it like any surgical procedure, and these risks include:

• Infection.
• Bleeding;
• Allergy to anesthesia.
• Loss of sensation
• Scarring.
• Permanent swelling.

Frequently asked questions about arm lift surgery

Should arm lift be combined with liposuction?

With arm lift surgery, not only is the skin removed, but we work with a combination of laser liposuction and surgical skin removal.

In this way, the small lymphatic vessels are preserved and the complication rate is reduced. In particular, it reduces swelling and the buildup of wound fluid. In addition, the incisions are also made as short as possible.

What are the scars left after arm lift operation?

If the excess skin extends the entire length of the humerus, a vertical scar of the same length is necessary. This is placed as discreetly as possible inside the arm so that it is difficult to see when the arm is on

Can I move my arm normally after the operation?

After the treatment a compression corset will be worn on your arms, which you must wear continuously for at least 6 weeks. You can move your arms relatively normally, but strain should be avoided

What is lipedema of the arms?

Some patients have a congenital disorder of the lymphatic system (lipoedema) which is associated with discomfort and swelling of fatty tissue. Here, liposuction parallel to the lymph vessels can help reduce symptoms. However, since it is a chronic disease, problems can recur.
