An arm lift is one of the most popular surgeries requested after significant weight loss. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, more than 23,000 arm lift procedures were performed in 2023. Candidates for this treatment usually have a significant amount of sagging skin due to weight loss, age, or genetics. The best candidates have the following characteristics:
Ideal candidates for an arm lift are those who have achieved and maintained a healthy, stable weight for at least six months. Significant weight changes can affect the procedure results, as extra pounds may lead to additional skin sagging. Maintaining a consistent weight ensures long-lasting, satisfying results.
You will receive pre-op instructions from your plastic surgeon at Revive.
It is suggested that you quit smoking several weeks before the procedure, as it can delay wound healing.
Certain medications can increase bleeding, so they will need to be discontinued. These include:
A healthy diet rich in protein can also help promote healing after the procedure.
Excess fat is removed, sometimes using liposuction. Underlying tissues are tightened and contoured to give you the shape you desire. This step is vital for arm lift patients following significant weight loss, as they often contend with persistent fat deposits that contribute to the overall sagging appearance of the arms.
After undergoing arm lift surgery, each patient receives customized advice for recovery and aftercare to minimize discomfort and maximize the aesthetic results of the arm lift brachioplasty procedure. This comprehensive approach ensures that the arm lift procedure addresses all concerns related to loose and sagging skin, offering a more toned and aesthetically pleasing arm contour, with a mini arm lift option for those with less extensive needs.
