Arm Lift

Arm lift results can be long-lasting, especially if you maintain a stable weight. However, some skin laxity may occur naturally with aging. To maximize the longevity of your results, consult with a well-trained, experienced, and skillful plastic surgeon about your individual case.

Good candidates for arm lift surgery have excess sagging skin on their upper arms, often after weight loss, and are at a stable weight.

Pain after arm lift surgery is low and quite manageable with medication. Discomfort is usually worse in the first few days but improves steadily.

Scars from arm lift surgery fade over time, but deciding if the trade-off is worth it depends on your goals and tolerance for scarring. 360 Plastic Surgery implements intensive scar regimens, tailored to the individual based on procedure type, skin type, and history. This minimizes the degree of scarring in the majority of our patients.

Whether arm lift surgery is worth it depends on your individual circumstances. It can significantly improve appearance and self-confidence, but consult a surgeon to discuss risks and expectations.

The best procedure for arm tightening depends on the severity of laxity. VASER liposuction is great for removing fat stores and sculpting, allowing the skin the conform afterwards. If there is signficant skin laxity present, either nonsurgical tightening (e.g. radiofrequency, laser) or a full arm lift may be necessary. A consultation can determine the best option for you.
