What is an Arm Lift Surgery?

An arm lift, is a surgical technique designed to reshape the upper arms. This technique is particularly beneficial for individuals who have experienced significant weight changes, including arm lifts after weight loss surgery, and are looking to remove excess skin and fat that contribute to a sagging appearance. Here’s what the procedure typically involves:

• Excess Skin and Fat Removal: This procedure targets the upper and inner parts of the arms to remove unwanted skin and fat, improving both appearance and comfort. It is especially crucial for patients who have lost a substantial amount of weight and are left with excess skin that does not retract on its own.

• Enhanced Contours: The procedure tightens and refines the overall shape of the arms, enhancing visible muscle definition and creating a more toned and proportionate look.
• Incision Technique: To minimize visible scarring, an incision is usually made in the armpit, extending along the inner arm towards the elbow, depending on the amount of skin to be removed. This technique helps achieve what is often referred to as an inconspicuous arm lift surgery, where the scars are less noticeable.

This surgery not only enhances the physical appearance but also boosts the patient’s self-esteem and comfort, making it easier for them to engage in various physical activities and widening their fashion choices.
