Arm Surgery

Have you lost a lot of weight and now you have skin that just seems to swing on your arm like a pendulum? If you answered yes, then you should know that there is a cosmetic arm surgery for you called an arm lift or brachioplasty that can help you feel and look better.

Looking and feeling better are important, but arm surgery does have one disadvantage, there are scars that reach from your armpit to your elbow, along the inside of your arm. So you get rid of the loose skin, but you will have scars. But most people would rather live with the scars then the flabby, sagging skin.

Arm Surgery Procedure

During your procedure, your cosmetic surgeon will make an incision along the inside of your arm or on the back of your arm that may extend from the underarm to just below the elbow. If you have fat that needs to be removed as well, then your surgeon will perform liposuction at the same time.

Next, your surgeon will tighten the underlying supportive tissue and use internal stitches to reshape the arm before smoothing the skin over the new contour of your arm.

Risks Include

• Scarring

• Bleeding

• Infection

• Blood clots

• Numbness or other changes in skin sensation

• Pain

• Skin discoloration

• Swelling

After your procedure, dressing/bandages will be applied to your incisions and your arms will be wrapped with a compression garment that will assist in minimizing the swelling.
