What is Arm Lift Surgery?
Sagging on the inner aspect between shoulder and elbow distorts aesthetic appearance. The most common cause of upper arm sagging is weight fluctuations and gravity. When you gain weight, fat accumulation in the arm increases and the skin stretches accordingly.
Treatment
Treatment involves removing the excess. Up to a certain point, liposuction may suffice. However, significant skin stretching cannot be treated with liposuction alone because the skin won’t retract sufficiently after fat removal. In such cases, the excess on the inner arm is removed as skin + fat, resulting in a tightened arm.
Will There Be Scars?
The most frequently asked question about arm lift surgery is whether scars remain. Unfortunately yes, some scarring is inevitable. The decision is yours: continue living with sagging arms or proceed with tightened arms and some scarring.
Surgical Process
The surgery can be performed under local or general anesthesia. It takes 1-2 hours and you are discharged the same day. You can return to social life in 2 days and all sports activities after 3 weeks.
