Arm Lift

An arm lift is a popular cosmetic procedure that can be performed by a board-certified professional as an outpatient treatment. The goal of the surgery is to tighten the arm skin and reshape the tissues by eliminating the excess fat and skin in the area, ultimately bringing about toned and well-defined arms.

The cost of an arm lift varies and depends on a number of factors, including the extent of the procedure and the amount of time the procedure will take.

To begin with, you need to talk to your plastic surgeon at Marietta Plastic Surgery to ensure that they understand your goals. Once a plan is customized, a convenient date and time can be arranged for the surgery.

If you are a smoker, you will need to stop using tobacco four-six weeks prior to the surgery. This ensures that your skin tissues have time to heal from the negative effects of smoking, which will reduce the chance of complications during and after the procedure. It is best to have realistic expectations in terms of results.

On the day of the procedure, your surgeon will administer anesthesia and then make incisions on your upper arm. The arm tissues are tightened and reshaped, and the skin is then redraped. Incisions are closed with stitches.

The results of an arm-lift surgery are very long-lasting, provided you maintain a stable weight.

Have someone by your side on the day of the procedure. Swelling is a temporary minor side effect, and it can be alleviated by using a compression garment. Follow your surgeon’s advice and stick to the scheduled follow-up appointments.
