Long Beach Arm Lift Surgery

Excessive, flabby skin underneath the upper arm is a real problem area for many people, women especially. Not only is it a difficult area to reduce with weight loss, it is almost impossible to tone with exercises or weight lifting. The excessive skin under the arms becomes saggy and loose and unattractive. People who have quickly lost weight with Gastric Bypass Surgery may suffer from this more than people who have lost weight with slower strategies. Many women with flabby arms refrain from wearing sleeveless clothing and feel self-conscious about their bodies. If you have any questions about Arm Lifts in Southern California, call us at (310) 784-0644 in Torrance today or request a consultation to meet with a physician.

Arm Lift surgery, also known as Brachioplasty, can remove excessive skin and tissue that does not respond to diet or exercise. It eliminates the droopy skin, creating an arm silhouette that is snug and compact. People who still have excellent skin elasticity may only need liposuction with minimal incisions to get rid of unwanted fat deposits. For people who have loose skin with less elastic properties, larger incisions are required and will result in visible (though discreet) scarring.

About Arm Lift Surgery

Arm Lift surgery is typically done on an out-patient basis so that you can do not need to spend the night in the hospital. Performed under a mild general anesthesia, the placement and length of the incisions are dependent on the individual's needs. People with less skin or tissue to be removed will have smaller incisions, often in the armpit or upper arm region. Others who have more skin and tissue to remove will require longer incisions and in extreme cases this can mean an incision that runs the length of the upper arm, from armpit to elbow. Care is taken to make the incisions as inconspicuous as possible, but scarring is almost always visible.

Most people take about two weeks off to recover. Compression garments are worn to support the arms and to facilitate the healing process. While light work can be resumed after two weeks, you should not expect to lift anything or exert arm strength for six weeks after surgery.
