Upper Arm Lift

Description of the procedure and the resulting effect

The surgeon makes an incision from the armpit toward the elbow joint along the inner line of the arm. He/she then removes the excess skin, including the subcutaneous tissue, and stretches the loose skin upwards. At the end of the surgery, the surgeon closes the wound with absorbable sutures, applies a sterile dressing and binds the arms with bandages. On the first or second day after the procedure, the doctor removes the drains and puts on a compression garment.

Description of the procedure and the resulting effect

During an individual consultation before the surgery, the doctor will discuss all your options and recommend a specific procedure and incision to achieve the best result. He will then explain the course of the entire operation and postoperative care. The surgery is performed under general anaesthesia, so a preoperative evaluation is required, which includes an interview with an internist, blood test, ECG and blood pressure readings.

Convalescence

Special elastic underwear is worn for 6-8 weeks 24 hours a day. The first week after the surgery, complete rest is recommended. Lighter housework is possible in 14 days. More demanding physical activities are prohibited for 2 months. Returning to work depends on your own feeling of recovery, but usually within one week after the surgery. The procedure is amazingly effective and permanent. The result should be your satisfaction and overall boosting your self-confidence and especially your quality of life.

Frequently asked questions about the procedure

Will scars be visible?

Scars are a common part of surgery; their visibility will depend on your own anatomy and your body is ability to heal. It is also important for you to know in advance from the surgeon where the incisions will be located and how far they will go. The scars will initially be pink and swollen, and will disappear over time, depending on your skin type. However, they will never disappear completely.

What are the common side effects?

After surgery, some patients may experience tension in the upper arm due to swelling after surgical intervention. Another common side effect is a tingly sensation in the hands, which, like other symptoms, disappears relatively quickly.

How long heavier physical activity or exercise shall be avoided?

Each patient is treatment time is different but following your plastic surgeon is instructions carefully will minimize potential problems and help speed up your recovery time. Generally, heavier physical activity or exercise is restricted for a period of 6-8 weeks.
