What Is an Arm Lift?
An arm lift surgery is a type of medical procedure that involves removing excess skin from the area between the elbow and the upper arm. The remaining skin is then tightened and contoured to ensure a smoother and slimmer appearance.
How Can an Arm Lift Help?
An arm lift can help to remove loose skin and excess fat from the upper arms. It can also help to tighten up the treated area and remove the “batwing” effect that so many struggle with. This procedure is often preferred in cases where individuals are unable to remove excess fat deposits even after maintaining a healthy diet and exercising.
Are You a Good Candidate for Arm Lift Surgery?
There are several qualities that make you a good candidate for an arm lift. In general, you may be a good candidate if you meet any of the following criteria:
- You have a significant amount of loose skin on your upper arm area
- You do not have any serious medical conditions
- You have a relatively healthy weight that is stable
- You have realistic expectations for what this procedure can provide
What to Expect After Surgery
After an arm lift, you will be required to wear compression garments to help minimize the swelling and speed up the recovery process. Additionally, you will have some swelling and bruising for several days after surgery. You may not notice any improvements right away. However, within a few weeks, you will be able to see a notable difference.
