If you have recently lost a lot of weight (congratulations!) or if you need to lose some weight, your arms may be a problem for you. Sometimes you can thank your mother for those upper arms, or you could just blame genes, or getting older. Whatever the reason, those unsightly upper arms are the least favorite part of your body. You can do something about it. Let’s take a look at 6 benefits of arm lift surgery.
What Is a Brachioplasty?
Arm lift surgery is known as brachioplasty, and it removes excess skin and fat from underneath your upper arms. Imagine being able to wear sleeveless tops in the summer or an elegant evening dress to a special event. Imagine being able to show off your arms again.
They will become firmer and more contoured after surgery performed by board-certified plastic surgeon Loreen Ali, MD. If this droopy, loose skin prevents you from wearing the sexy clothes you want, maybe it’s time to find out if you are a good candidate.
Who Is a Candidate for an Arm Lift?
You must be in good health and a non-smoker in order to have arm lift surgery.
How Long Does the Surgery Take?
Brachioplasty is performed under general anesthesia and takes approximately two hours to complete.
Many patients choose to have liposuction performed during arm lift surgery to remove all the excess fat left and in order to better contour the area.
What Are the Benefits of Arm Lift Surgery?
- It will improve the shape of your arms: After surgery your arms will look firmer, more youthful, and sleek. They will appear more toned with no more loose skin and fat deposits.
- You can actually see your muscles: This includes your biceps. You will finally begin to see the benefits of those trips to the gym. In fact, you may even be more motivated to work out
- Your self-confidence will soar: Now that you can wear all those sleeveless tops and dresses, you will be wanting to go out more often and show off your new upper body.
- The results are long lasting: As long as you maintain and keep a stable weight (don’t gain too much or lose a lot of weight), your arms will maintain their contoured look.
- Enhanced mobility: You will find that removing your excess skin and fat will give you improved range of movement and more comfort when performing certain activities like swimming or running.
- It will reduce or eliminate skin rashes: Excess skin and moisture in folds can lead to irritation. This in turn leads to itchy rashes. After surgery, no more worries.
