Arm lift
With aging or after significant weight loss, sagging may appear in the upper arms, causing embarrassment and affecting the body's symmetry. An arm lift aims to remove excess skin and tighten tissue for a firmer, more proportionate appearance.
What is an arm lift?
An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the upper arm, giving it a more toned and youthful appearance. The procedure can be combined with liposuction if excess fat is present.
Who is a suitable candidate for an arm lift?
Those who suffer from obvious sagging in the arms area.
People who have lost a lot of weight and have sagging skin.
People who are in good health and do not suffer from chronic diseases that affect wound healing.
Those who have a relatively stable weight and do not plan to lose significant additional weight.
Process steps
The operation is performed under general or local anesthesia, depending on the case.
A surgical incision is made along the inside or back of the arm, depending on the amount of excess skin.
Excess skin and fat are removed and the remaining tissue is tightened.
Surgical incisions are closed cosmetically, taking care to minimize scarring as much as possible.
recovery period
The patient may feel mild pain and swelling during the first few days, which can be controlled with medication.
It is recommended to wear a compression garment for the arms to reduce swelling and speed up healing.
You can return to light daily activities after one week, and full activity after 4 to 6 weeks.
Results

The procedure gives the arms a tighter, more proportionate appearance.
