ARM LIFT
After losing weight, many persons women and men have loose hanging skin and are unwilling to wear sleeveless or half shirts. Brachioplasty also called ARM LIFT is often used to create a more attractive upper arm.
patients may have excessive skin only, excessive fat with well-toned skin or hanging skin and extra fat tissue which make the arm look disproportionate to the rest of the body.
Liposuction alone is sufficient if the hanging part over arm contains more of fat and less of excess skin. The excess fat is removed through small incision in armpit and near elbow, it encourages the skin to shrink and conform to new arm contour.
In arm lift surgery incision will be given on non-exposed area and extended on to the posterior axillary fold.
preoperative instructions include quit smoking for at least 6 weeks before surgery.
Procedure will be done as day care surgery, can go home on same day.
