What Is an Arm Lift Operation

Arm lift surgery is scientifically known as “Brachioplasty.” It is a kind of plastic surgery conducted primarily to get rid of excess fat in the arms and tighten the sagged and loose skin. With this surgery, the plastic surgeon also removes excess weight or fat in the skin that may result in an irregular shape of the arms with the rest of the upper body or distort the aesthetic of the arms. The arm lift surgery is conducted under general anesthesia.

Many reasons can lead to arms sagging, such as aging, severe obesity followed by weight loss, medical conditions, and eating many unhealthy foods that allow fat to accumulate in different areas of the body. Hormonal causes may also lead to sagging in the upper arms, such as increased estrogen in women during pregnancy and childbirth.

Techniques Used In The Arm Lift Operation

  1. Non-Surgical Arm Lift (With Vaser);
    Vaser technology is the latest technology used in arm lift operations. The Vaser device works to dissolve fat in the desired location.
  2. Surgical Arm Lift;
    The skin is tightened with surgical intervention when the sagging is severe and often when the patient has undergone liposuction. The skin size is surgically reduced, and the excess skin is cut off by opening an incision and then closing it after the sagging has been tightened. There are many types of surgical incisions in the arm lift operation, such as thickened, character-shaped, and extended incisions.
  3. Ultrasound Energy;
    It relies on using ultrasound energy to target the area from which fat is to be removed. When the dissolving of the fat process is done, it sucks it off.
