While an arm lift will require some recovery, there are several benefits you will notice after your procedure, including:
- Less excess fat and skin: During the arm lift procedure, Dr. Fugo will remove fat from the upper arm area that extends from near the armpit to the elbow. He will use liposuction to do so, or the fat and skin may be removed together with excision. The length of the incision will depend on the amount of skin you need removed.
- A defined tone and arm shape: By removing excess tissue and fat, Dr. Fugo can give your arm a more definitive shape and tone.
- Better proportions and contours: As you age or lose weight, your skin starts to lose its elasticity, making it look stretched. An arm lift can help reduce this effect by tightening the underlying tissue of the arm. This leaves you with contoured arms that are more proportionate with the rest of your body.
Once your arm lift procedure is complete, your relatively straightforward recovery is only a few weeks. At your Pre-operative office visit, Dr. Fugo will walk you through the steps of the procedure and provide the instructions you need for recovery. By 3 months post-operative, you will achieve smoother, more natural appearing upper arms that better match your body proportions. While complete scar maturation can take up to 16 months or more, the incision site will lighten and fade.
