Arm Lift
The main objectives of an arm lift include the following:
Reduction of excess loose skin that tends to droop downwardsReduction of localized fat pockets in upper armsTightening of the core supportive tissue which defines the arm shape
Some of the primary reasons for sagging or drooping upper arms are extreme weight fluctuations, heredity, and aging. And it is typically difficult to correct this condition through diet and exercise. Hence an arm lift serves as an effective solution.
The Procedure
The doctor have sufficient experience in arm lift surgeries and have helped several candidates achieve the toned arm appearance they had originally envisioned.
An arm lift procedure typically involves the surgeon creating markings on the patient’s arms, armpits, and elbows. The decision regarding the length, direction and location of the incisions is dependent on the preferred type of arm lift.
The surgery is usually performed under the effect of general anesthesia or intravenous sedation, whichever is recommended by the surgeon (and according to the comfort of the patient). If you selected to have any other procedures performed while under anesthesia, Dr. Nassif will move on to them at this point. After closing the final incisions and placing dressings, Dr. Nassif will send you into a specialized recovery unit. On occasion, drainage tubes will be inserted to remove excess fluid from the incision sites.
