As time passes and weight fluctuates, it’s not uncommon for the skin on the upper arms to lose its firmness and elasticity, resulting in a sagging appearance. However, there’s an effective solution that can help you achieve your goals: Arm Lift with Liposuction. By expertly reducing and tightening excess skin, an arm lift offers a transformative opportunity to reclaim the toned and contoured arms you desire.
An arm lift is a surgical procedure in which excess skin and fat are removed to tighten the skin and improve your arm contours. The combined effects of ageing, gravity, fluctuations in weight, and a loss of skin elasticity all contribute to loss of tone in the arms as we age. This procedure is indicated after big weight loss, when there is excess skin that cannot improve with exercise. There are visible scars which are well placed, so that when healed they are not too visible.
Learn how Arm Lift with Liposuction Surgery at Medisculpt can improve your confidence and help you achieve the appearance and contours in your arms you have been dreaming of!
An arm lift surgery can significantly boost self-esteem and confidence by addressing the sagging skin on the upper arms, allowing individuals to feel more comfortable and confident in their appearance. With firmer, more toned arms, many patients report feeling more self-assured in social and professional settings, enhancing their overall quality of life.
By removing excess skin and fat from the upper arms, an arm lift surgery helps to create a more balanced and proportionate figure. This harmonious silhouette can complement the contours of the body, contributing to a more aesthetically pleasing overall appearance.
Sagging skin on the upper arms can limit wardrobe choices and make it challenging to wear fitted or sleeveless clothing without feeling self-conscious. With the improved contours and tighter skin achieved through an arm lift, individuals gain the freedom to confidently wear a wider range of clothing styles, including sleeveless tops and dresses, enhancing their fashion options and sense of style.
n addition to tightening the skin and reducing excess tissue, an arm lift surgery can also improve the overall appearance and texture of the skin on the upper arms. By removing loose, hanging skin, and addressing issues such as wrinkles or creases, the skin appears smoother, firmer, and more youthful, enhancing the overall aesthetic results of the procedure.
During the procedure excess skin and fat are removed through incisions on the arm. The underlying tissue matrix will be reshaped and tightened, and skin will be reduced and re-draped resulting in more proportionate and smoother body contour. The incision line is sutured with dissolving stitches and surgical tapes are then applied to the surface of the skin. This operation is usually performed under general anaesthetic and can take up to 2 hours to complete!
