Arm lift surgery
What is an arm lift surgery?
Brachioplasty is a type of cosmetic surgery that can improve the appearance of your upper arms. It involves tightening sagging skin and supportive tissue. Surgeons also remove pockets of fat.Recently, this operation is becoming more and more popular. Arm lift has a fairly solid place in body plastic surgery. Because the inner surface region of the arm always shows age and does not undergo fitness correction in elderly patients.
Arm Lift Procedure Steps
There are two classic methods for brachioplasty. The choice depends on the amount of tissue removed. If it is less, elliptical tissue removal is applied, which allows to reduce postoperative scars to the maximum. Wide brachioplasty can be used to remove any amount of tissue.In this case, the scar will be long enough (from armpit to elbow). Sometimes liposuction of this area is performed at the same time as brachioplasty, if required. In both cases, the wound is closed with cosmetic sutures and the scar disappears over time.
If brachioplasty surgery is right for you, here’s what to expect:
1. You receive medication to stay comfortable. This may include general anesthesia, which puts you to sleep and blocks sensation. Or you may receive a local anesthetic, which numbs the surgical area and helps you relax.2. In the arm lift procedure, the incision length and pattern depend on the amount and location of excess skin to be removed, as well as the best judgment of your plastic surgeon. Incisions are generally placed on the inside of the arm or on the back of the arm, depending on the surgeon’s preference, and may extend from the underarm (axilla) to just above the elbow. Excess fat may be directly excised or treated with liposuction. Depending on your specific condition, incisions may be more limited. Then, underlying supportive tissue is tightened and reshaped with internal sutures. Finally, the skin is smoothed over the new contour of your arm.
3. They use stitches (sutures) to tighten supportive tissue.
4. Before completing the procedure, surgeons close the incision with sutures. They also bandage your arm with sterile gauze to reduce the risk of infection.
Contraindications for brachioplasty
• Severe comorbid conditions (heart disease, diabetes, morbid obesity, cigarette smoking, etc.);• Diabetes;
• Blood coagulation disorders;
• Removal of the gland;
• Excessive sweating;
• Oncological diseases.
Rehabilitation
After your procedure, bandages protect the incision while it heals. You wear a snug-fitting sleeve (compression garment) to minimize swelling. There may be tiny tubes under your skin to drain excess fluid.The rehabilitation (recovery) period after brachioplasty takes about 1 month. During this period, it is necessary to exclude physical stress and sports, going to the bath, sauna, swimming in public pools, going to the solarium.
The operation area should be kept clean, the body should not be loaded, compression clothing should be worn. After this period, the patient can return to normal life. After 1.5 months, the arms can be stretched. If the doctor's instructions are followed, the chances of complications after brachioplasty are low, and the recovery period is generally quite light and quick.
