Arms lift
An arms lift, also known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure to remove loose skin and excess fat deposits in the upper arms. With age, upper arm skin can become loose and flabby. People who have sagging or drooping skin on the upper arms due to weight loss, aging, or genetics are good candidates for arms lift surgery. Arm tissue relaxes with age, gravity and weight loss. The drooping of skin is from a stretching of the anchoring system of the arm and loss of supporting fat. Patients are very unhappy with this 'loose hammock' appearance. Plastic surgeons will discuss arms lift surgery with patients who want to tighten this skin and look as good as they feel. In some cases plastic surgeon may suggest that liposuction be used alone or in conjunction with an arms lift to remove excess fat in the upper arms. Arms lift procedure is performed under either local or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the procedure. You may expect after arms lift surgery that the dressing around the arms may be extensive. You will need to protect the incisions after surgery. Limiting lifting is important. Elevation with pillows increases comfort. Patients are back to work 2-3 weeks after arms lift procedure. Being careful not to lift heavy objects continues for 2-6 weeks after arms lift surgery.
