ARM LIFT
Upper arms, back and inner parts of the structural skin and subcutaneous tissue is quite loose. In these areas, familial susceptibility, frequent weight gain/loss and gravitational factors, increase loosening which leads to sagging.
Problems in arm sagging vary from person to person. In a person who loses weight very rapidly, generally, you can only see the skin sagging, while some people have skin sagging as well as increase in fat. In people with excess fat , if the quality of the skin is good enough to recover only liposuction can be sufficient, whilst in the people who has poor skin quality and intense stretch marks, arm lift surgery will give much better results. In some patients, it can be planned to have a combination of the arm lift surgery and liposuction.
The skin sagging in the arm is both transverse and longitudinal in two dimensions. If the sagging is very light and transverse,the incisions are hiding in the armpits, whilst it is necessary to make an incision from the armpits to the elbow in the longitudinal sagging.
Arm lift surgery is performed under general anaesthesia. It takes about 2-3 hours and you need to stay overnight in the hospital. Since the operating area is an active region, it should be taken care during the recovery period. The pain that occurs during the post- operative period can be eliminatedwith simple painkillers.
