Book an Appointment
Before the operation:
- Your doctor will ask you about your current and past medical condition, the medications and supplements you are taking as well as any surgery you have had previously.
- Your doctor examines and takes pictures of your arms to determine the appropriate surgical procedure for them.
- Discuss with your doctor your expectations and hopes for the operation and what end result you desire.
- You should refrain from smoking and drinking alcohol for at least 30 days before the procedure.
- Fasting completely for 8 hours before the procedure.
About the process:
The doctor initially makes incisions in the lower part of the arms.
The length and shape of these incisions are determined based on the amount of skin to be removed.
After making the incisions, the doctor tightens the underlying tissue and attaches it to the stitches. Your doctor may also need to perform liposuction on the arms.
After that, the skin is wrapped on the new lines and the excess skin is removed. The doctor uses stitches to close the incisions
After the operation:
After the operation, the incisions are covered. In addition, the arms are wrapped loosely with elastic bandages to reduce swelling.
It is possible to place small tubes in the arms to drain any excess blood or fluids. Sometimes the doctor may ask the patient to wear compression sleeves for several weeks to relieve swelling.
In the first days after the arm lift:
- Avoid raising your arms above shoulder level for three to four weeks.
- Avoid any strenuous physical or athletic activity for four to eight weeks after surgery.
- Take painkillers when needed and use topical or oral antibiotics as directed by your doctor to prevent wound infections.
