Arm Lift
Arm lift surgery is a surgical procedure performed to correct sagging or loose skin that usually occurs due to aging, weight loss or genetic factors. The medical term is known as “brachioplasty”. This surgery is usually performed to reduce or eliminate sagging skin in the upper arm area.
Here are some situations regarding who can undergo arm lift surgery:
- Sagging Due to Aging: The aging process can cause the skin to lose its elasticity and sag. This can lead to sagging skin, especially in the upper arm area.
- Sagging Skin After Weight Loss: Excessive weight loss can often cause sagging skin. Excess skin can form after weight loss, especially on the inner surface of the arm.
- Problems Related to Genetic Factors: Some people may have sagging arm skin due to genetic factors. In this case, arm lift surgery may be considered.
- Arm Lift Surgery Combined with Liposuction: Arm lift surgery can be combined with liposuction if necessary. This aims to reduce the fatty tissue on the inner surface of the arm and also correct sagging skin.
- Those with Suitable Health Conditions: As with any surgical procedure, arm lift candidates must be in good general health for the surgery. Individuals with heart problems, high blood pressure, and other serious health conditions should undergo preoperative evaluations.
This surgery is usually chosen for personal aesthetic reasons and is usually planned by considering the patient’s overall health, lifestyle, and surgical expectations. However, as with any surgical procedure, risks and potential complications should also be considered. The best candidates for arm lift surgery are those who have a realistic understanding of the potential benefits and risks of surgery, are in good general health, and are willing to commit to a post-operative recovery period.
