Arm lift resultsIt's good to see you at Czech Republic Plastic Surgery Clinic! An arm lift is a surgical procedure to remove loose skin and excess fat deposits in the upper arm. When it comes to flabby arms, dieting and exercise can't necessarily cure them. That's because certain fats are resistant due to genetic tendencies. Even if you do manage to rid yourself of excess fat in the arms, the other problem of loose skin can't be fixed with any amount of work. With the rise of surgical procedures that aid in radical weight loss has come a corresponding demand for arm lift. Of course, individuals who have had weight loss surgery are not the only patients who request or can benefit from arm lift surgery. For some people, sagging skin associated with aging is the culprit; others are unable to get rid of flabby arms through exercise. An arm lift creates a smoother look to the upper arm, increases the tightness of the skin, reduces the appearance of fat, and creates a more youthful appearance. Arm lifts can also address flab or folds in the skin on the side of the chest near the armpit. Surgery to perform an arm lift typically takes about two hours and can be conducted under light anesthetic. In some cases, the arm lift can be accomplished using only liposuction and won't require any incisions to be made. More intense arm lift surgery will use an incision placed in the crease of the armpit or down the inside of the arm. These incisions will be used to lift the skin, tighten the arms, remove excess fat and tighten arm ligaments. Following the arm lift procedure, the skin is sutured shut and a pressure garment or elastic bandage is applied to promote healthy healing. Patients will have limited use of their arms immediately following an arm lift, but doctors discourage heavy lifting or even fully extending the arms for the first week or two after surgery. After the procedure you will feel groggy. Your arm will be placed in a special compression garment to help the newly-sculpted skin adhere to the tissue underneath. You will probably have several layers of stitches on the upper arm, possibly with a drain inserted to help the skin to adhere to the underlying tissue. Some of the stitches will be absorbable, and some may have to be removed by your during a follow-up visit. After a brief stay in the recovery room, you will be allowed to go home. While each person's recovery is unique, the recovery period after an arm lift generally lasts one to two weeks. You'll probably be able to return to work in a week, and resume exercise within two weeks. Strenuous workouts and contact sports can be engaged in after about four weeks. Some individuals choose to have a scar revision after their arm lift surgery, in order to further reduce the appearance of scarring. Talk to a board-certified plastic surgeon for more detailed information about the benefits and risks of the arm lift procedure.
