Understanding Arm Lift Surgery
Unsightly sagging skin on the upper arms can result from aging, significant weight loss, or genetic factors. An arm lift, or brachioplasty, offers a surgical solution to reduce and eliminate excess arm skin, creating a more toned and refined appearance.
Arm Lift Procedure Details
During an arm lift procedure, Dr. McGovern performs the following key steps:
- Procedure conducted under general anesthesia
- Incision placed from near the elbow to the armpit
- Excess skin carefully removed
- Incision strategically positioned to minimize visible scarring
Recovery and Healing Process
The arm lift recovery timeline typically follows these stages:
- Initial healing: 10-14 days
- Suture removal: Within first 1-2 weeks
- Swelling and bruising reduction: 3-4 weeks
- Complete swelling resolution: 3-6 months
- Scar fading: 6-24 months
Complementary Procedures
To enhance arm lift results, Dr. McGovern may recommend complementary procedures such as upper arm liposuction for optimal body contouring.
