Arm Lift in Solana Beach | Verve Plastic Surgery

What is an Arm Lift?

An arm lift is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess hanging skin from the upper arm, creating a more toned and refined arm appearance. This procedure helps patients achieve a more contoured arm silhouette after significant weight loss or aging.

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift in Solana Beach

• Individuals with excess hanging skin and fat along the upper arms
• Patients at or close to their ideal body weight
• Non-smokers with a BMI less than 35
• Patients seeking improved arm aesthetics despite diet and exercise

Arm Lift Procedure Details

Verve Plastic Surgery performs arm lifts as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. The surgical approach involves:

• Strategic incisions on the inside or back of the upper arm
• Liposuction to remove excess fat
• Skin re-draping and contouring
• Precise suturing techniques
• Compression garment application for optimal healing

Incision Techniques

Incisions are carefully placed to minimize visible scarring, typically extending from the armpit to the elbow. The specific incision location depends on the degree of correction needed.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect gradual improvement in arm contours. Initial results are visible immediately, with final outcomes emerging after 2-3 months of swelling reduction. Most patients can resume light activities around 4 weeks post-surgery.

Complementary Procedures

Arm lifts are often combined with breast procedures such as breast lift, reduction, or augmentation for comprehensive body contouring.
