Arm lift
Too much or too much hanging skin around the upper arm can be annoying. Excess skin is often a result of heavy weight loss or loss of elasticity due to aging. Despite physical activity, the excess skin cannot be reduced.
Treatment
To get the arm back into shape, the sagging skin is removed or tightened.
Small arm lift
The small arm lift is particularly suitable if the excess skin is close to the axilla and appears rather thin or normal near the elbow. The scar will disappear briefly and mainly in the armpit.
Normal arm lift
Normal (or large) arm lift is used when the excess skin affects the entire upper arm. The scar ranges from the armpit to the elbow.
Often an arm lift is combined with liposuction/fat suction.
Time expenditure
Both the small and large arm lift is performed on an outpatient basis. The procedure takes 60 to 90 minutes.
Narcosis
These procedures are performed under anaesthesia
Risks
Risks and side effects are rare, but complications must always be expected. Wound healing disorders and/or wound water formation can occur, but are easy to treat.
Follow-up treatment
• Compression for approx. 14 days
• Regular wound controls
• Loss of work approx. 5-7 days
