SURGICAL PROCEDURES
Brachioplasty (Arm Lift)
AN UPPER ARM LIFT CAN REDUCE EXCESS FAT & SKIN TO HELP RESHAPE THE ARM, GIVING SMOOTHER SKIN & CONTOURS.
Upper arms can be prone to sagging and becoming wobbly due to a number of factors including fluctuations in weight, genetics and age. Exercise can strengthen and tone the underlying muscle but does not help looseness of the overlying skin, which may require surgery in order to improve it. Liposuction on the arms is usually done at the same time, or occasionally as an alternative to an Arm Lift. Patients with very good quality skin may have liposuction alone, but this is the exception rather than the rule. More commonly, there is skin excess which can be managed by excision surgery.

KEY TREATMENT AREAS
Arm lift surgery targets excess underarm fat and loose, sagging skin that falls between the armpit and elbow. It tightens and smoothes the underlying supportive tissue for a more defined arm.
FULVIO’S ADVICE
It is important to be aware that this kind of surgery results in permanent scarring, We try our utmost to make it as inconspicuous as possible, and most consider the scar better than the original sagginess.
AFTERCARE
Surgical skin tapes should be left in place until your one week check and replaced as directed thereafter. Take care not to over exert yourself in the first few weeks and to keep pressure off the wounds.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
Severe cases exhibiting a substantial amount of excess skin will only really achieve a good result by means of a surgical arm lift. However, if you have less severe skin excess with good skin elasticity then you may be suitable for liposuction or Coolsculpting, which are both techniques to address underlying fat excess without skin removal. Liposuction is performed under general anaesthesia whereas Coolsculpting is carried out awake in the clinic.
-
During an arm lift excess skin and fat is removed between the armpit and elbow, where sagging skin usually occurs. The remaining skin is placed back over the newly repositioned contours to create a more toned and tight look, significantly reducing the size of the arms.
-
We try to make the incision scars in areas that aren't easily visible, however, the scars from an arm lift are permanent.
-
After an arm lift, your arms will be covered in loose elasticated bandages to minimise swelling and protect the incisions. You may have small tubes (drains) in your arms to get rid of any excess fluid build ip.
Our technique involves a T-shaped or curved incision from the armpit, continuing along the inside of the upper arm. The length of the scar varies depending on the exact contour that needs to be corrected, but can be as far as the elbow. The skin is closed with dissolving sutures and a compression garment used over the top.
