Arm Lift
Removal of loose or excess skin and fat in the arm area.
Eliminate sagging skin and get slimmer, firmer arms
After a rapid weight loss, loose skin can occur on the upper arms. Arm Lift (=Brachioplasty) tightens the skin and is recommended to be combined with liposuction.
The excess skin and fatty tissue are removed while leaving a small scar in the middle upper inside of the arm. This is not visible when wearing a short sleeve, or through clothing. When there is much looser skin to be taken away the incision is made on the underside of the arm from the inside of the elbow to the top of the armpit.
Before and after the surgery
- Prior to the surgery, there is a detailed discussion with the surgeon about which approach to take and what exactly you expect as an outcome.
- You will be informed about the surgery duration, possible risks and the postoperative care.
- Before the surgery the patient undertakes an examination by our internist (blood test, ECG, evaluation of health status).
- The whole operation takes approximately 1-2 hours and is done under general anaesthesia.
- The hospitalization is normally 1 day.
- After the operation, the patient wears special compressive sleeves for 6-8 weeks.
- No exercise is allowed for 2 months.
- The hospitalization is normally 2 days.
- The scars should not be exposed to solar radiation (sunbathing or solarium) for 6 months.
- The overall result depends on the skin type and age of the patient.
The length of time you will be off work depends on your job but is usually between 1-3 weeks.
