cosmetic surgery plastic surgery medical tourism-1.jpg

Brachioplasty (or arm lift surgery) is used to reshape and remove loose, sagging skin from a person’s arm. Usually a cosmetic procedure, arm lift surgery helps return youth and vitality by smoothing out the skin and removing unwanted fat.

The plastic surgeon gives the patient either general anesthesia or intravenous sedatives. The amount and location of the skin and fat that needs removal determines the length of the incision. Usually made on the inside or back of the patient’s arm, the incision can extend from the underarm to the elbow. Fat selected for removal during (brachioplasty) is excised or removed with liposuction. At the end of the procedure, the plastic surgeon closes the incisions either with dissolving sutures or with stitches that are left in place for 1 to 2 weeks. To reduce swelling, an elastic sleeve covers the patient’s upper arms.

The results of the upper arm lift are immediately apparent despite the initial swelling and bruising. Patients should take special care of their wounds throughout the 10- to 14-day healing process. The swelling usually starts to subside after 3 to 4 weeks and is completely gone within 3 to 6 months. The scars tend to fade after approximately 6 to 24 months.
