Arm Lift

Arm lift is an aesthetic surgical procedure performed to correct sagging, looseness and excess skin tissue in the arm area. Decreased skin elasticity in the arm area can occur for various reasons such as aging, weight loss or genetic factors. This can cause a person’s arms to appear droopy or low.

During arm lift surgery, excess skin and fat tissue are removed and the arms are tightened to obtain a tighter and more aesthetic appearance. The surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia and the duration of the procedure may vary depending on the severity of the sagging and the surgical plan.

You may experience swelling, bruising and mild pain in your arms in the postoperative period. These usually subside within a few weeks. Following your surgeon’s recommendations will help your arms heal faster. Post-operative scars begin to fade over time and usually settle in the natural folds on the arms.
