One of the most prominent areas that becomes loose and saggy due to excessive weight gain/loss and aging is the arms. Patients often feel uncomfortable when wearing short-sleeved clothes, making arm lift surgery necessary.
Surgery Procedure
Arm lift surgery takes an average of 2 hours and is performed under general anesthesia. An overnight hospital stay is recommended, and the patient can be discharged the next day. I recommend using a post-surgery corset for 2 weeks.
It is possible to resume your daily routine a week after surgery. However, for intense physical activities, it is necessary to wait at least 2 months. You can take a bath 3 days after the operation.
Will There Be Any Scarring?
Scars are inevitable as excess skin is removed. The scar is situated under the arms, and it can extend from the armpit to the elbow. Although the scar may lose its clarity within a year, it won’t disappear.
