What is an Arm Lift?

Consistently following a healthy diet and engaging in aerobic exercise can help reduce a person’s overall body fat percentage. Along the same lines, frequently performing strength-building exercises can improve muscle tone. However, no amount of diet changes or exercise can improve the look of sagging skin that has already lost its elasticity, nor can it eliminate localized fat deposits. An arm lift can help get rid of fat deposits and flabby skin on your arms for a smoother look. Dr. Burgdorf is one of the premier plastic surgeons sought by patients to address the issue of flabby arms. If you are looking into cosmetic solutions for flabby arms and other body-contouring issues, you can rely on our experienced team at Music City Plastic Surgery to provide comprehensive options centered around your unique needs. If you have poor skin elasticity and excess fat that is resistant to diet and exercise, then arm lift surgery is the only effective way to achieve a thinner, firmer contour throughout your upper arms.

What Can I Expect From the Procedure?

An arm lift takes several hours to perform, with the patient under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. An incision is created on the inside of the arm through which Dr. Burgdorf will excise fatty tissue. He may use SAFE liposuction to trim unwanted fat deposits and create a more youthful, sculpted upper arm shape. Taking care to minimize postoperative scarring through a conservative approach, Dr. Burgdorf trims excess skin and firms and tightens the underlying structures.

Once the incisions are closed, the patient is placed in the recovery suite. Following surgery, most experience mild swelling and bruising that can be well-managed with prescription pain medications and a compression garment provided by Dr. Burgdorf. Downtime usually extends for 1-2 weeks. Patients should take care to avoid strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for 3-4 weeks, or as advised by Dr. Burgdorf. Some results can be seen immediately. However, the full outcome of surgery will be evident after all residual swelling has died down.
