Understanding Arm Lift Surgery
As individuals age, skin tone naturally decreases, causing upper arm skin to lose elasticity. Southeastern Plastic Surgery, P.A. performs arm lift surgery for patients in Tallahassee, FL, and surrounding regions including Destin, Dothan, Valdosta, and Thomasville.
Why Consider an Arm Lift?
Some individuals are genetically predisposed to accumulating weight in specific areas, including the arms. Despite rigorous exercise, achieving desired arm definition can remain challenging. Arm lift surgery offers an effective solution for individuals experiencing:
- Significant weight loss resulting in loose skin
- Decreased skin elasticity
- Difficulty wearing short-sleeved clothing
Surgical Procedure Details
Medically known as brachioplasty, this procedure involves an incision along the inner upper arm from elbow to armpit. In some cases, surgeons can strategically place the incision entirely within the armpit area. Patients should understand that while scarring will fade, it will not completely disappear.
Candidacy Requirements
Ideal candidates for arm lift surgery typically meet the following criteria:
- Non-smokers
- Desire to improve arm contour and appearance
- Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
Recovery and Expectations
Arm lift surgery typically takes approximately two hours and is associated with mild to moderate discomfort. Most patients can return to work within seven days, experiencing some initial swelling that gradually subsides.
