If you have loose dangling skin on your upper arms, you are probably familiar with terms such as ‘wings,’‘grandma arms,’ and ‘flags.’ While it is not uncommon for a woman to have excess skin and fat in the upper arms after a massive weight loss, having ‘loose wings’ can still somehow reduce self-confidence. Fortunately, if you desire to improve your arm shape and contour, there are new surgical options available.
Patients who have undergone an arm lift surgery report various benefits. Some of these benefits may be physical while some may be psychological. An arm lift surgery will first give you an opportunity to discuss with a surgeon exactly what your arm issues are, which your surgeon will fix for you. Arm lifts result in the removal of excess skin and will allow you to have the arm shape that you desire.
After undergoing an arm lift surgery, you will feel that your arms have become lighter. They will also feel tighter and firmer after the procedure. Initially you may feel uncomfortable about having tighter skin, but this sensation will eventually pass as your skin becomes elastic again. The arm lift procedure is performed with the use of a general anaesthetic and takes between one to two hours. It can be done as a day case, or with an overnight hospital stay. You may experience swelling and bruising after the procedure, but there’s usually minimal discomfort. After the procedure, the incisions will be stitched, but the stitches are dissolvable and the dressing can be taken off after seven days. You are allowed to take a shower after about 4 days, but you should keep the dressing dry.
When getting an arm lift procedure, it is crucial to think about your safety first. Make sure to go for a clinic that adheres to high standards and has highly experienced surgeon. This will ensure you that you are in safe hands and that you will get the results that you want.
