Cosmetic surgery to shape the arms is known as an arm lift or brachioplasty. As we age, collagen production and skin elasticity decline, which is often visible in the upper arms. Another cause of drooping tissues and skin is massive weight loss. Such patients usually have dystrophic skin.
At Cozmo Bliss, we perform arm lift surgeries in Bangalore that remove excess skin and fat from the underarms and tighten the underlying tissues. It results in a smooth, sleek, and well-defined arm shape.
Arm Lift Surgery Procedure
Anaesthesia is used for patient comfort during the procedure. Surgeons decide where the incision should be made based on the amount of excess skin to be removed. A scar from an arm lift is usually placed along the inner aspect of the arm and can extend right down to the elbow.
Liposuction is the most common method used to remove arm fat, depending on the surgeon’s preference. In order to give the arms a well-defined shape, the underlying tissues are tightened and reshaped, and the excess skin is excised and properly draped over the arm tissues.
After the procedure is completed, sutures and surgical tape are used to close the skin and underlying tissues.
If necessary, an upper body lift is combined with an arm lift. An upper body lift involves the removal of the skin in the back that is known as “bra folds,” and the incision extends across the back.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Will I feel pain after the brachioplasty?
After the surgery, some patients may feel mild pain and as if their skin is stretched. To help with comfort, we prescribe pain medications that will gradually help the pain settle down.
Q2. What are the precautions one should take after an arm lift procedure?
For at least three weeks, please refrain from any strenuous activities that would require excessive arm movements.
