Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

Excess skin from the elbow to the upper arm is a common challenge for individuals after significant weight loss or aging. Arm lift surgery, or brachioplasty, effectively removes hanging skin often referred to as "bat wings".

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift Surgery

Candidates for arm lift surgery typically exhibit excess, hanging skin on upper arms with reduced skin elasticity. Patients should be in good overall health and at or near their ideal body weight. Those who avoid sleeveless clothing due to arm appearance are often excellent candidates for this transformative procedure.

Surgical Procedure Details

Arm lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia, typically as an outpatient treatment. The procedure involves surgically excising sagging skin from the elbow to the armpit. Surgeons at Forma Plastic Surgery carefully conceal incisions and may perform complementary liposuction to achieve optimal results.

Recovery and Expectations

Recovery typically requires approximately two weeks of rest and arm elevation. Patients should avoid strenuous activities for 4-5 weeks. Forma Plastic Surgery offers comprehensive scar management options, including silicone sheeting and microneedling treatments to minimize surgical scarring.

Preparing for Your Arm Lift

Preparation involves multiple steps to ensure optimal outcomes. Patients may need to quit smoking, adjust medications, and obtain medical clearance. During the consultation, plastic surgeons will provide personalized pre-operative guidelines to support a smooth surgical experience.
