Arm Lifting Surgery

Arm lifting surgery, also known as brachioplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that involves removing excess skin and fat from the upper arm to improve its shape and contour. This procedure is often performed on people who have lost a significant amount of weight or have excess skin and fat in the upper arms due to aging.

During the procedure, an incision is made along the underside of the arm, and excess skin and fat are removed. The remaining skin is then pulled taut and sutured back into place, resulting in a more toned and youthful-looking arm. The surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia and takes about 2-3 hours to complete.

Like all surgeries, arm lifting surgery carries some risks, including bleeding, infection, scarring, and anesthesia complications. Recovery time varies, but most people can return to normal activities within 2-3 weeks after surgery. It is essential to follow the surgeon’s postoperative instructions, including wearing compression garments and avoiding strenuous activities until cleared by the surgeon.

It is crucial to consult with a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon to discuss your goals, expectations, and risks associated with the surgery before making a decision to undergo arm lifting surgery.
