Remove your bat wings!
Arm Lift or Brachoiplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure, excess skin and fat are removed from between the armpit and elbow that improves the appearance of the under portion of your upper arms.
ARM LIFT SURGERY or BRACHIOPLASTY
Any factors including aging and weight fluctuations contribute to loss of skin elasticity which can cause your upper arms to have a drooping, sagging appearance. This condition that cannot be corrected through exercise so many people decide to undergo Arm Lift Surgery to help with this condition also referred to as “Bat Wings”.
ARM LIFT SURGERY PROCEDURE
On the day of your surgery, you will be taken to a private surgical suite where a trained anesthesiologist will administer general anesthesia to ensure you are comfortable throughout the entire procedure. Once you are sedated, your surgeon will begin by making incisions on the undersides of your arms. The length and pattern of the incisions depends on how much skin will be removed.
After, the plastic surgeon will tighten your underlying tissues and secure them with stitches. He may also use a suction technique to remove fat (Liposuction).
Your skin will then be draped over the new contours and excess skin will be removed. Stitches or surgical tape will be used to close the incisions.
After an arm lift, your incisions will be covered in bandages. Your arms will be loosely wrapped in elastic bandages to minimize swelling. Small tubes might be placed in your arms to drain any excess blood or fluid.
RECOVERING FROM ARM LIFT SURGERY
After the procedure, patients should plan on resting and avoiding activity for about a week. You may experience temporary swelling, bruising, and tenderness, but any discomfort should be manageable with the medications prescribed by your surgeon. You should avoid lifting your arms above shoulder level for 3-4 weeks. You should also avoid exercising your arms of any activity that may stretch the incisions.
