What is an Arm Lift?

Every arm lift surgery performed by Dr. Shafa is 100 percent customized. Evaluating your condition is the first step in determining the surgical approach to produce the ideal result. 

  • Mini Arm Lift:
    A mini arm lift involves a small incision hidden within the underarm area. Excess fat and skin are carefully removed through this incision. This technique is ideal for individuals whose sagging skin and tissue are mostly limited to the upper arms near the armpits.

  • Full Arm Lift:
    A full arm lift requires a longer incision that runs along the underside of the upper arm, typically from the armpit to the elbow. This procedure is best suited for those with a significant amount of loose skin and fat that extends down the length of the upper arms.

Arm Lift Surgery After Weight Loss

If you have undergone bariatric surgery or have lost a substantial amount of weight, you are on track to enjoy a happier, healthier life. Unfortunately, you may have an aesthetic problem. Your skin and tissue, including your upper arms, cannot shrink back around your slimmer figure. For many people who have lost considerable weight, an arm lift is a final step in the journey to aesthetic wellness. The beauty of your arm lift results reflects your plastic surgeon's skills. Dr. Shafa has mastered the art of body sculpting, including arm lift surgery. His cutting-edge techniques and meticulous surgical approach produce elegant, beautiful results.

What is the Recovery Like After an Arm Lift?

Arm lift recovery is an outpatient procedure. Once the operation is complete, you can return home to rest and heal. For three to four weeks, you must avoid lifting your arms above your shoulder level or any physical motions that could stress the incisions. You will have pain medication to keep you comfortable. Dr. Shafa will see you at several follow-up appointments and closely monitor your progress. Within a few weeks, your new look is revealed, with the aesthetic problem of saggy upper arms gone forever. 

We look forward to meeting you
