Arm Lift

    1.    What is arm lift surgery?
An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms to create a tighter, more aesthetic appearance.
    2.    Who is a good candidate for an arm lift?
Individuals experiencing sagging in the upper arms due to weight loss or aging, who are in good health, are suitable candidates.
    3.    How is an arm lift performed?
An incision is made along the inner side of the arm, excess skin and fat are removed, and the remaining skin is tightened.
    4.    What should I do before the surgery?
Avoid smoking, stop taking blood-thinning medications, and follow the pre-surgery instructions provided by your doctor.
    5.    How long does arm lift surgery take?
The procedure typically takes 1-2 hours.
    6.    Will I feel pain during the surgery?
No, the procedure is performed under general or local anesthesia, so there is no pain during the surgery.
    7.    What is the recovery time after an arm lift?
Initial recovery usually takes about 1-2 weeks, but full healing can take several months.
    8.    Will there be visible scars after an arm lift?
Incisions are made on the inner side of the arm, so scars are generally not noticeable and fade over time.
    9.    What are the risks associated with an arm lift?
Risks include infection, bleeding, wound healing issues, loss of sensation, and asymmetry, but these are minimized with an experienced surgeon.
    10.    Will my arms look natural after the surgery?
Yes, when performed with proper technique, the arms will have a tighter and natural appearance.
    11.    What precautions should I take after the surgery?
Avoid physical activities, wear compression garments or bandages as advised, and follow your doctor’s aftercare instructions.
    12.    Are the results of an arm lift permanent?
Yes, but aging and weight fluctuations can affect the appearance over time.
    13.    Can an arm lift be combined with other procedures?
Yes, arm lift is often combined with liposuction or body lift procedures.
    14.    Will there be swelling or bruising after the surgery?
Mild swelling and bruising may occur initially but typically subside over time.
    15.    When can I return to work after an arm lift?
Most people can return to daily activities within 1-2 weeks, though full recovery may vary.
