Things To Keep In Mind When Getting An Upper Arm Lift

upper arm lift

Have you opted for an upper arm lift to get rid of your sagging arms? A brachioplasty or upper arm lift may be just what you need to remove that excess skin and tissue from your sagging arms. It is often done on patients who have lost a lot of weight. For whatever reason you have in opting for this procedure, there are some things you should keep in mind.

Recovery is Involved

After surgery, it will take some time to recover. You will also have your arms wrapped in bandages and support dressings to help cushion your arm and aid the healing process. When many patients resume their daily activities, they will not be able to exercise or engage in other strenuous activities until they have fully recovered. When you have fully recovered, you can enjoy your tighter, younger-looking arms for years to come.

Additional Benefits

While an upper arm lift works to mainly remove sagging and drooping skin, the procedure can also help in other ways. During the procedure, our board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Tarola, will work to contour and tighten your upper arms while removing excess skin, tissue and fat. When Dr. Tarola removes this excess fat, it is gone and will not come back. This procedure can also help with wrinkling as Dr. Tarola works to tighten your skin. After the procedure, you will want to keep a healthy lifestyle in order to maintain your long-lasting results.

Be at a Stable Weight

In order to be a good candidate for an upper arm lift, you will need to be at a relatively stable weight. Weight fluctuations will impair the results. For example, losing more weight after getting an arm lift will leave the patient with more sagging and loose skin. If a patient has lost a lot of weight through surgery or conventional means, they need to maintain their new weight for some time before getting an arm lift.
