What is arm lift surgery?
Massive weight loss following bariatric surgery often leave patients unhappy with the appearance of unsightly loose skin not only in the abdominal area, but also in their arms or upper legs. Body contouring procedures, in combination with bariatric surgery, have the potential to significantly improve or restore patients’ body image and quality of life. Arm lift surgery, also known as brachioplasty, is a commonly performed body contouring procedure during which saggy skin and excess tissue on upper arms are removed for a more symmetrical and naturally-looking silhouette. It is worth noting that brachioplasty is considered to be a minor surgery with a low complication rate and it does not have any impact on the long-term function and range of motion of the upper limbs.
What is the difference between arm lift and arm liposuction?
Arm liposuction is a more conservative surgical approach in which excess fat tissue from the upper arms is removed through small incisions near the elbows.
Arm lift surgery is performed through a sinusoidal incision that goes all the way up from the elbow to the armpit and is placed either on the inner side or the backside of the arm, depending on patient’s personal anatomical properties and the amount of saggy skin that needs to be removed. Naturally, permanent scarring on both arms is an inevitable consequence of an effective contouring, though it pays off in firmer and beautifully shaped upper arms.
Who is a proper candidate for arm lift surgery?
Preparation for an arm lift
In order to properly prepare for arm lift surgery, some major pre-operative instructions should be followed:
Practice healthy lifestyle. Exercising regularly, having your diet balanced and staying hydrated will strengthen your body and recovery will be faster.
Avoid using tobacco products and consuming alcohol at least 2 weeks before the procedure.
In order to prevent perioperative complications, taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and other blood thinners should be avoided, unless the operating doctor has advised otherwise.
Consult a plastic surgeon about your allergies, previous surgeries and daily medications. If you have any pre-existing conditions that require daily usage of medication, your operating doctor should be informed about it. Follow your specific pre-operative instructions as they may vary depending on your personal medical history.
Recovery after arm lift surgery
Recovery after brachioplasty takes time and patience for it to be successful.
Post-operative patients are expected to experience mild to moderate pain that may be managed with prescription medication for up to 7 days. During that time one should refrain from even mildly strenuous activities involving upper body that may put pressure on the incision sites.
Once the stitches and bandages are removed, it is necessary to wear a compression garment which may help accelerate wound healing.
Arm lift scars are distinctively noticeable in the first few months after the surgery and slowly fade into thin lines later on. However, unlikely abnormal scarring may be fixed with an additional surgical procedure, if necessary
Bruising and swelling in the upper arms may be present for up to 4-6 weeks as a clinical manifestation of a local inflammatory response to a surgery. If it lingers on, a doctor should be consulted.
Can arm lift be combined with other surgeries?
It is not unusual for an arm lift to be combined with many other body contouring procedures, such as breast augmentation, tummy tuck or thigh lift. However, when several surgical procedures are combined, soft tissues are exposed in a relatively large area of the upper body and so a greater risk of infection and a higher complication rate regarding wound healing may be observed.
After arm lift surgery
Once the surgery has been performed, only a few more things should be taken into consideration for a smoother recovery:
General recovery after the surgery usually takes up to 2 weeks. During that time, it is important not to lift one’s arms above the shoulder level, avoid strenuous exercise or heavy lifting in order not to disrupt the healing process. It may take about 6 weeks for a post-operative patient to resume one’s normal physical activity.
It is important to keep the incision sites dry and clean. In the first few days after the procedure patients are encouraged to shower and maintain their personal hygiene routine or adjust it to the doctor‘s recommendations.
Loose fitting clothes are advised for the patient´s convenience as they are easier to put on and off.
During the first post-operative week it is recommended to stay at least minimally active by taking short walks several times a day, etc. Light physical activity has a significant positive effect on blood circulation and therefore promotes the healing process.
Patients are strongly discouraged from consuming alcohol and using tobacco products, especially while taking any kind of prescription drugs after the surgery, for it may provoke toxic side effects and complications.
