Arm Lift Surgery
Relevant information about Arm Lift Surgery.
Arm lift or brachioplasty is a surgical procedure used to remove the excess skin and fat that make your arms look saggy. If the patient's problem has to do with heavy arms caused by fatness, then the solution is not arm lift; the patient probably has to go under a lipo surgery. This kind of surgery will help the patient to improve its self confidence and to raise his self-esteem. It is time to wear all the clothes forgotten in your wardrobe.
- What does arm lift (brachioplasty) surgery do
It removes the excess skin and fat deposits that appear as a consequence of aging or massive weight loss on the upper section of the arms. If your arms have a sagging appearance on the triceps and it makes you feel uncomfortable when you wear sleeveless clothes, then an upper lift may be the right thing for you. It is an excellent choice for those people who feel young and want to demonstrate it by wearing trendy clothes, especially during the summer, when it is appropriate to wear light garment.
- How is an arm lift performed
The surgeon makes an incision from the elbow to the armpit, along the interior area of each arm, and removes the excess of skin and fat. He then inserts drainage tubes, if necessary, and then closes the incisions with sutures.
- Hospitalization: There is no need to be hospitalized; it is done on an outpatient basis.
- Anesthesia: Local anesthesia and complementary sedation, or general anesthesia, depening on each patient and his/her weight.
Normally the doctor will also prescribe the patient some pain killers to avoid pain during the post-surgery days. Fortunately the surgery does not present any secondary effects; the swelling can only last two weeks, showing a considerable improvement during the first week. It is very rare to find cases where bruising appeared.
- Length of the surgery: The operation is no long; it lasts approximately one or two hours, depending on the professionals and the different cases of patients. The bandages are removed between the first and de 7th day after the surgery. It is recommended to follow all the medical advices: not exposing the bandages to the sun, being careful with the hygiene and not using any cream or medication, except in cases where the professional recommends doing so.
- What does Arm Lift Surgery not do
It is not used for removing small fat deposits from your arms if the skin has a good elasticity. If this is your case, and diets and physical exercise do not produce the desired results, liposuction is the right thing for you. There are many cases where patients make a mistake between arm lift and liposuction. Arm lift is the next step after going under a lipo surgery, and it is a suitable choice to make your arms look really healthy and fit.
The results of Arm Lift Surgery are permanent and very satisfactory. Your arms will look much firmer for a long time. In spite of the resulting scars, when most patients evaluate the outcome, they feel that the benefits obtained far outweigh the negative aspects. Besides, the scars heal usually after six months. The treatment allows the patients to resume their lives in a very short period of time. Work can be resumed after a week from the surgical procedure, and physical exercise can be done again only two weeks after the operation.
