arm lift
Brachioplasty is an arm surgery to remove excess fat and excess skin after slimming to make the arm more shapely. In this surgery, an area of arm fat that is crescent-shaped is lifted so that the skin and tissue of the arm have a smoother and firmer appearance. If your arms are too big or loose and no exercise has any effect on them,
Arm lift or brachioplasty is one of the best solutions available to remove excess fat, which is performed by a plastic surgeon. In addition to brachioplasty, arm lipo is used, which is one of the newest treatment methods to beautify the arm. The options that can be selected are determined by the quality of the skin and the amount of subcutaneous fat and skin fat. With a consultation session with Dr. Amir Daryani, you can choose a more appropriate option for the quality and amount of skin fat.
Suitable candidate for arm lift surgery
- Sagging skin is one of the most important skin complications. Some factors cause it:
- People whose arm has drooped due to weight changes (diet-illness).
- People who use corticosteroid and hormonal drugs cause local obesity in the arms.
- Elderly and old people who get this complication with age.
- People whose arms are not proportional to the size of other parts of their body.
- Those who suffer from laxity and drooping of their arm due to hereditary factors.
- Severe sunburns destroy the tissue of the arms because the skin of this area and the shoulders is much more delicate than other parts of the body.
These people can solve this problem by referring to Dr. Amir Daryani, a plastic surgery specialist.
The right age for an arm lift
This surgery can be performed for all ages, and the applicants for this procedure are mostly people who do not like the appearance of their loose arms and do not feel good about wearing sleeveless clothes.
Procedures of arm lift surgery
This surgery is performed under general anesthesia to make the patient more relaxed. In this procedure, large incisions (incision in the inner part of the arm, incision in the back of the arm) are made in the skin, and the length of the incisions depends on the amount of fat that must be removed, and this is done with the diagnosis of the attending physician. Scars in the lower part of the arm from the armpit to the elbow are created in the skin either in a curved or zigzag manner. The incisions are sutured. Absorbable sutures or ordinary sutures are usually used, which are pulled some time after the operation. After the stitches, a dressing is applied and temporary tubes are placed in the surgical area to drain fluids. Bandages are also used to protect the operation site. The results of arm lift (smooth skin and loss of excess fat) are not easily visible immediately after the operation due to bruising and swelling.
Arm lift by liposuction method
In this type of lift, they remove excess fat in the arm area without performing surgery. After removing the fat, the sagging of the tissue will be more obvious. Liposuction can also be used as an adjunct to fat removal in a standard brachioplasty procedure.
Liposuction of the arms is mostly used for patients who have excess fat in areas that are not excessive and also have good skin firmness.
