An arm lift surgery, also known as brachioplasty, can help reshape the upper arms and improve their appearance. The procedure tightens loose, sagging skin and reduces excess fat deposits in the arm region.
The best candidates for this procedure are healthy, non-smokers, and at a stable weight. Having loose, hanging skin in the upper arm area can be embarrassing and can affect your self-image.
Costs
Arm lift surgery is a surgical procedure that can remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms. It’s a good option for patients who have lost a significant amount of weight and have loose, sagging skin in the upper arm area.
The cost of an arm lift can vary depending on several factors. The surgeon’s fee is a major factor, as well as the facility fees and anesthesia costs.
The best way to get a clear understanding of your surgery cost is to schedule a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. This will allow you to discuss your goals and learn what’s involved in the procedure.
Procedure
Arm lift surgery, also known as brachioplasty, removes excess skin and fat that can contribute to a drooping or sagging upper arm. It is an excellent body contouring procedure that can create firmer, tighter, more sculpted arms.
Sagging skin can be the result of hereditary factors, weight fluctuations, or exercise that does not tighten loose skin. It can also be a side effect of significant weight loss and/or aging.
In general, patients who are at a stable healthy weight and have drooping or loose upper arms that cannot be reduced with diet and exercise are candidates for arm lift surgery. During the procedure, excess skin and fat are removed with surgical excision or liposuction techniques. The underlying elastin and collagen tissues are tightened with internal sutures to create smoother, more youthful upper arms.
Recovery
Arm lift surgery is a popular cosmetic procedure that can help remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms to produce more toned, youthful-looking arms. Also known as brachioplasty, this treatment can boost confidence and improve a person’s overall appearance.
The recovery process after arm lift surgery is usually relatively short and easy. Patients are able to resume light activities around two weeks after the procedure.
It is important to follow post-surgical instructions and carefully take care of your arms to avoid complications. It is normal to experience swelling, bruising, and soreness. Medication and elevation can reduce these side effects. Using compression garments can also aid in healing.
Surgeon’s fee
Arm lift surgery can help patients with sagging skin and loose fat deposits on the arms, commonly known as “bat wings.” This type of skin laxity can be the result of natural aging, significant weight loss, or genetics.
Plastic surgeons perform arm lift surgery to remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms, resulting in a firmer, more contoured appearance. This procedure typically includes liposuction, if needed.
Surgeon fees can vary depending on a surgeon’s experience and reputation, as well as the complexity of the procedure. Anesthesia fees can also fluctuate. They include the cost of the anesthesiologist and the medication used to administer anesthesia during the surgery. Facility fees are also associated with arm lift surgery, including the cost of operating room space and surgical supplies.
Insurance
Arm lift surgery is a great way to improve the appearance of the upper arms. It reduces excess skin and fat deposits in the arms for a smoother, more toned appearance.
Patients who are within their ideal weight range and have loose, sagging skin in the arms are good candidates for this procedure. Combined with other body contouring procedures, such as a tummy tuck or thigh lift, arm lift surgery can be an effective way to achieve an overall more youthful and aesthetically pleasing aesthetic.
