Indications: Excess skin and fat under the arm
Anesthesia: General
The incision: 1 cm
Stay in clinic: 24 hours
Recovery: 3 to 5 days
What is
Reduces localized pockets of fat and skin in the upper arm region.
Before the intervention
Get lab testing or a medical evaluation.
Stop smoking.
Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements as they can increase bleeding
The surgery
The incision length during arm lift surgery depend on the amount and location of excess skin to be removed.
Incisions are generally placed on the inside of the arm or on the back of the arm and may extend from the underarm. Excess fat may be directly excised or treated with liposuction.
Anesthesia is general.
The duration of the intervention is 1 to 2 hours.
After the surgery
It’s important that the surgical incisions are not subjected to excessive force, swelling, abrasion, or motion during the time of healing.
Results
The smoother contours that result from arm lift surgery are apparent almost immediately following the intervention. Initial results will be obscured by swelling and bruising, and a scar will remain where the incision was made.
Risks
Infection, bruising, loss of sensation, scarring, swelling in the hands and seroma (fluid in the incision).
