Arm lift surgery is designed to tighten the upper arms and restore firmness and tone to the area. This can be a transformative procedure for those with distracting “bat wings” (excess skin) who have been hesitant to wear sleeveless shirts and swimsuits. 

ARM LIFT PROCEDURE

WHAT IS AN ARM LIFT?

After substantial weight loss or due to the natural aging process, individuals can often develop loose or stretched skin on multiple areas of the body, including the arms. At Stephens Plastic Surgery + Skincare Aesthetics of Baton Rouge, we offer multiple body contouring procedures, such as arm lift surgery. During this procedure, Dr. Stephens removes excess skin and tightens the supportive tissues that shape the upper portion of the arm. The result is significantly more toned, more attractive upper arms.

BENEFITS OF AN ARM LIFT

Remove sagging, flabby, crepey skin on the upper arms

Remove fat on the upper arms 

Tighten and smooth the supportive tissues of the upper arms

Improve the overall appearance and contour of the upper arms

Allow the confidence to wear sleeveless tops and swimsuits

ARM LIFT PROCEDURE Details

An arm lift is performed under general anesthesia and takes 2-4 hours. Dr. Stephens will carefully and expertly create an incision under your arm that goes from elbow to armpit. Using this incision, he will remove excess skin.

The remaining skin will then be tightened. Once he has finished, he will close the incision. Your arms will be wrapped in compression garments to help with healing and contour, and drains may also be placed to help collect fluid. 

If you have loose, sagging skin on multiple areas of your body, you may also qualify for other body contouring procedures such as a tummy tuck and thigh lift. These options can be discussed with Dr. Stephens during your initial visit.

After Your ARM LIFT PROCEDURE

What Results to Expect

You will see your arm lift results look better and better as the swelling and bruising fade over the next several weeks. The scar will be noticeable in the beginning, but it will fade more and more over the passing months. Arm lift surgery is designed to be long-term, but future weight gain can affect results. Patients should be willing to adopt a lifestyle of healthy diet and exercise after surgery.

POST-OP INSTRUCTIONS

It’s normal to be sore, bruised, and swollen after arm lift surgery, but these side effects are typically easily managed through pain medications and protective bandages that will be administered to your incision sites to control swelling. As every individual heals differently, Dr. Stephens will advise you on how much time you should spend away from work and normal activities to ensure proper healing.

A Fantastic Option for Fantastic Arms!

As the skin ages, it’s very common for individuals to experience a loss of volume, which results in loose skin. This can also happen to those who have undergone significant weight loss, because the skin can become loose and outstretched after the loss of fat.

The upper arms can be difficult to correct with diet and exercise, so arm lift surgery is an excellent option for helping weight loss patients further achieve their cosmetic goals and providing a more youthful, natural appearance for aging skin.
