Arm lifting as body improvement way
When it comes to flabby arms, dieting and exercise can't necessarily cure them. That's because certain fats are resistant due to genetic tendencies. Even if you do manage to rid yourself of excess fat in the arms, the other problem of loose skin can't be fixed with any amount of work.
Arm lift is a lengthy and somewhat complicated procedure compared to cosmetic surgery in other parts of the body. That's because the arm can accumulate more skin and fat by proportion.
More intense arm lift surgery will use an incision placed in the crease of the armpit or down the inside of the arm. These incisions will be used to lift the skin, tighten the arms, remove excess fat and tighten arm ligaments. Following the arm lift procedure, the skin is sutured shut and a pressure garment or elastic bandage is applied to promote healthy healing.
Patients will have limited use of their arms immediately following an arm lift, but doctors discourage heavy lifting or even fully extending the arms for the first week or two after surgery.
While each person's recovery is unique, the recovery period after an arm lift generally lasts one to two weeks. You'll probably be able to return to work in a week, and resume exercise within two weeks. Strenuous workouts and contact sports can be engaged in after about four weeks.
Arm lifts, especially in combination with liposuction, can produce dramatic results in the contour of the arm. The scars resulting from an arm lift are not considered "mature" until a year, or even two, after the surgery, and typically are not dramatic or even readily noticeable.
Talk to a board-certified plastic surgeon for more detailed information about the benefits and risks of the arm lift procedure.
