How is an Arm Lift Performed?
The procedure is customized based on the degree of correction needed:
Consultation & Planning: Detailed evaluation of skin laxity and patient goals.
Anesthesia: General anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation is used.
Incision & Skin Removal: Incisions are typically placed along the inner arm or back of the arm to minimize visible scarring.
Fat Removal & Tightening: Liposuction may be combined with surgery to enhance contour. Excess skin is trimmed, and remaining skin is tightened.
Closing Incisions & Recovery: Sutures are placed, and compression garments are used to support healing.
Surgery usually takes 2–3 hours, with patients often discharged the same day.
