Ideal Arm Lift Candidates in Metairie

An upper arm lift is an advanced plastic surgery technique designed to contour and eliminate unwanted skin. Ideal candidates are individuals in good overall health with stable weight who want to address hanging skin and improve arm appearance. Patients should be close to their target weight and have minimal skin elasticity.

Surgical Technique in New Orleans

The arm lift procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia in an outpatient facility. Dr. Walters carefully removes sagging skin from the elbow to the armpit, strategically placing incisions to minimize visible scarring. Optional liposuction can be performed to remove stubborn fat pockets. After skin tightening, the area is meticulously stitched to promote optimal healing.

Recovery and Post-Operative Care

Typical recovery takes approximately two weeks, with gradual return to daily activities. Patients must wear compression garments and follow specific care instructions. Dr. Walters provides comprehensive post-operative support, including follow-up care, lymphatic massage referrals, and scar management techniques.
