Arm Lift Surgery
Arm lift surgery is a plastic surgery procedure to fix sagging and deformation in the arm area. This surgery is performed by tightening the skin, adipose tissue and muscles in the arm area. Arm lift surgery is an effective option to correct sagging and deformation in the arm area and to obtain a tighter, shaped appearance.
How Is Arm Lift Performed?
Arm lift surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia and takes 2-3 hours. The process begins with the removal of excess skin and adipose tissue in the arm area. Afterwards, the remaining skin and muscles are tightened, giving the arm a tighter and more shaped appearance. This procedure can be done on the lower arm or near the elbows, as well as in the armpit or shoulder area.
Healing Process
The recovery period after arm lift surgery usually takes 1-2 weeks and during this time swelling, bruising and mild pain may occur.
What To Do
- For the first few days, you can use an ice pack to reduce swelling by applying cold to the arm area.
- After the procedure, you should protect yourself from sunlight for a certain period of time.
What You Should Avoid
- You should avoid heavy exercise or excessive physical activity for the first few days.
- During the first few days, you should not put a heavy load on your arm area. The area may be sensitive after the procedure.
- For the first few days, you should avoid toxic substances such as alcohol and cigarettes. These substances can adversely affect the healing process.
- After the procedure, you should avoid exposure to water such as pool, sea and jacuzzi for a certain period of time. Water can increase the risk of infection of the treated area and delay the healing process.
