Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)

Arm Lift also known as Brachioplasty, reshapes the under portion of the upper arm, from the underarm region to the elbow.

The procedure is recommended for candidates whose arms have drooping, sagging appearance, which is usually the result of fluctuations in weight, growing older and even heredity. The procedure tightens and smoothes the underlying supportive tissue that defines the shape of the upper arm and reduces localized pockets of fat in the upper arm area.

The surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia. Incisions are made on the inner and under surface of the arm and may extend from the underarm to just above the elbow. If fat is to be reduced during your arm lift, it will be excised or treated with liposuction.

For the first week following surgery, you will have to avoid strenuous activity, including bending and lifting. You will be able to shower on the third day after surgery. The swelling is mild to moderate, and lasts 2-3 days. Any stitches that are not absorbed will be removed after about a week.

The recovery period after an arm lift generally lasts one to two weeks. You'll be able to resume exercise within two weeks. Strenuous workouts and contact sports can be engaged in after about four weeks.

Time of the treatment:
From 3 to 5 days
