Who Benefits from an Arm Lift?
An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is ideal for individuals with significant upper arm skin laxity. This is common in those who have experienced major weight loss since that may result in sagging skin that cannot conform to the new arm shape. Aging can also cause skin to lose elasticity, leading to a droopy appearance. Hence, if you feel self-conscious about your arms when wearing sleeveless tops or swimsuits, a brachioplasty might be perfect for you.
What Does the Procedure Involve?
Brachioplasty is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes about two hours. During the procedure, Dr. Mahony will make incisions on the undersides of your arms. After removing excess skin and fat, she will tighten the underlying tissues and secure them with sutures. Finally, your skin is smoothed over the new contour of your arm, resulting in a more toned and proportionate appearance.
Recovery from an arm lift involves some swelling and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medications. You’ll need to wear compression garments to minimize swelling and support the healing tissues. Most patients return to work within two weeks.
