What is it?
The arm lift is a surgical technique that refines the contour of the arms by reducing their volume through fat liposuction and treating flaccidity by excising excess skin. This surgical procedure is frequently performed after significant weight loss, as it can substantially enhance self-esteem.
What shape of scars are used?
In an effort to make the scar as inconspicuous as possible, excess skin is usually excised from the inner surface of the arms in what is known as a longitudinal arm lift.
When is it indicated?
An arm lift is indicated in severe cases of skin laxity and excess skin on the arms, where liposuction alone does not yield satisfactory results.
What types of technology are used?
During the arm lift, we utilize the MicroareR, a vibroliposuction system that allows for liposuction of a greater volume of fat within the same time interval and with enhanced safety. If indicated, we may incorporate additional technologies such as VaserR, an ultrasound system that improves tissue retraction and reduces the risk of irregularities, as well as BodytiteR and/or Argon PlasmaR, which are other devices that enhance skin retraction and skin quality.
Can it be combined with other surgeries?
This surgery is often performed in combination with reduction mammoplasty or other body contour surgeries.
