"Doc, I hate these wings!" This is a common refrain, heard from many Plastic Surgeons, from patients who complain about the redundant, excess skin and fat in their arms. There are many reasons why patients develop this problem. The loss of weight, the aging process, after gastric bypass surgery and various conditions Medical everything can be the cause.
The common complaint is that the skin and soft tissue hanging creating something unpleasant, even when the arms are fully covered. Sleeveless shirts and blouses can leave patients feeling of embarrassment and constantly aware of the issue, but there is hope! An arm lift, or liposuction, or both, may be the answer.
Over time the skin, muscles and soft tissues of the body begin gradually lose their tone and ligaments support begin to stretch. The aging process causes people to lose the elasticity of the skin, a process that is accelerated by exposure the sun and smoking. Then there is the gravity, the ever-present force that causes the tissues to sag.
Moreover, any increase in weight over the years may cause further elongation, the loss of elasticity and sagging. Many people wonder if this can be reversed with exercise and the answer is no. Exercise tones only the muscles. Unfortunately, exercise does nothing to improve skin tone.
Patients who are candidates for an Arm lift include people who: Loose skin on arms – Had significant weight loss – too full upper arms – the embarrassment of excess soft tissue arm.
Patients should Always start with a thorough consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. A plastic surgeon will meet with you to examine you and fully assess your needs. Him or she will make a recommendation regarding the treatment, as an arm lift or liposuction can better serve your needs.
An arm lift is usually performed under general anesthesia. Before surgery, the amount of skin and fat to be removed will be estimated and signs will be placed accordingly. Some surgeons place the incision on the lower arm in a position to make the resulting scars in the eye as possible. On some occasions the incision may be placed in the axilla (armpit). Before surgery, all patients are asked to avoid any medication that thins the blood, like aspirin, for at least two weeks. Patients were told to avoid exercise and heavy lifting for at least six weeks after surgery.
Like all treatments medical one lift arm is generally a safe procedure, but there are risks. The risks include bleeding, infection, skin lesions and the risk of anesthesia. Under by a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, every effort will be made to prevent and minimize the risk of making your result a success. It 'very important that smokers stop smoking and using nicotine products for at least a month before and for at least a month after surgery.
An arm lift is an excellent way for men and women to tighten and raise the arms upward. This can lead to a more youthful and firmer appearance. Patients are usually thrilled to have their 'wings' removed, giving them greater freedom to wear normal clothes again and participate in all physical activities. Above all, patients comment on their renewed sense of self-image and confidence in themselves.
