An arm lift treats sagging arms, most noticeable when waving goodbye. Surgery reduces arm thickness and the excess skin on the lower part.
A wave-shaped scar is used, positioned so that it can only be seen with the arms open.
What is it?
Surgery to treat sagging arms.
How is it done?
Surgery takes about 2 hours. Arm liposuction is combined with skin removal, with the wave-shaped scar on the inner side. Surgical glue avoids external stitches and eliminates dressings.
Recovery
A garment with sleeves is worn for about 2 months. Lymphatic drainage starts early. Surgical glue is removed after 21 days, and kinesio taping helps prevent the scar from widening.
Time off work ranges from 10 to 14 days.
Times and techniques are averages and change from person to person. Every indication depends on an individual medical evaluation.
