Arm Lift Surgery
Procedure Summary
Arm lift surgery, or brachioplasty, is a procedure designed to eliminate excess, loose skin from the elbow to the underarm. In cases involving excess fat, liposuction may be combined with the arm lift for enhanced definition in the upper arms. While exercise and strength training can tone the arms, they are ineffective in addressing loose, hanging skin, a condition only rectified through surgical intervention.
How can you benefit from Arm life surgery:
Arm lift surgery delivers prominent and enduring outcomes. The arm’s lines and contours can be significantly enhanced, providing you with the enduring benefits of tucked arms for an extended period of time.
Arm lift surgery can:
- Makes the skin around your arms tighter
- Better and toned-looking arms
- Can significantly reduce skin chafing
- Reduced the discomfort caused by hanging skin around the arms
Procedure for Arm lift Surgery:
The arm lift procedure is typically performed under general anaesthesia. Incisions are made on the undersides of the arms, and their pattern and length are determined by the extent of skin removal required. The plastic surgeon then tightens and secures underlying tissues using surgical sutures, with the potential use of liposuction for excess fat removal. The excess skin is draped over the newly contoured area before being excised, and the incisions are closed with surgical tape or sutures. The duration of the procedure varies but may last between 1 to 3 hours, depending on the complexity of the case.
Downtime & recovery
Post-surgery, a recovery period of one to two weeks is recommended. Detailed post-operative instructions will be provided by our experts, and patients should monitor the surgical site for any changes. Temporary bruising and swelling are expected to subside within two weeks, and while a scar will remain, it will significantly improve over time. It is advised to refrain from lifting arms above shoulder level for 3 to 4 weeks and avoid strenuous activities for 4 to 8 weeks to prevent stretching of the incisions. Stitches may start to dissolve or need removal, depending on their type, and consultation with the surgeon is extremely crucial for a successful recovery.
The cost arm lift surgery can vary depending upon the technique used, no. of sessions required, the kind of results that you are expecting, the kind of anesthesia to be used depending on the desired result can also factor into the cost of the surgery. The surgery can start anywhere from AED 1000 – AED 30000
