The Arm Lift Procedure with The Mere Aesthetics & Wellbeing Clinic

THE PROCEDURE

Choosing our consultant plastic surgeon at The Mere Aesthetics & Wellbeing Clinic for your arm lift surgery ensures expert care with appointments and procedures available either at our clinic or at various private hospitals across the North-West. Here’s what to expect on your arm lift journey:

Consultation and Evaluation: Your journey begins with a thorough consultation with your surgeon, where he will listen closely to your concerns, assess your arm anatomy, and discuss your contouring goals. Your surgeon will determine if an arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is the best option for achieving your desired outcome.

Preparation: On the day of your procedure, you’ll arrive at the designated surgical facility, where your surgeon and his team will make sure you are comfortable and relaxed before anaesthesia is administered.

Surgical Technique: Our surgeon uses advanced techniques to remove excess skin and fat from the arms, achieving a smoother, more contoured look. Depending on your anatomy and aesthetic goals, your surgeon may recommend a traditional brachioplasty or a limited incision approach.

Traditional Brachioplasty: For those with significant excess skin and fat on the upper arms, your surgeon may suggest a traditional brachioplasty. This involves a carefully placed incision along the inner arm, from the elbow to the armpit, to remove unwanted tissue and tighten the skin, providing enhanced contour and definition.

Limited Incision Brachioplasty: For patients with moderate excess skin and fat who prefer minimal scarring, your surgeon may recommend a limited incision brachioplasty. This technique uses smaller, discreet incisions in the armpit area to remove tissue and tighten the skin, creating a toned look with less visible scarring.

Closing Incisions and Recovery: After the procedure, your surgeon will close incisions with sutures and apply dressings as needed. You’ll be monitored in recovery before going home with comprehensive post-operative care instructions. Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to track your progress and ensure a smooth recovery.

Results: As healing progresses, you’ll enjoy firmer, more toned arms with improved contour. Your surgeon’s approach aims to deliver natural, balanced results that enhance your body shape and symmetry.

BENEFITS TO HAVING ARM LIFT SURGERY

THE BENEFITS

You may choose to undergo a Arm Lift for a variety of reasons which are personal to you. These may include:

Excess Skin Removal

Improved Body Contour

Individuals may opt for an arm lift to enhance the overall contour of their arms, achieving a slimmer and more proportionate look that complements their body shape.

Increased Confidence

By addressing concerns related to flabby or disproportionate arms, an arm lift can boost self-esteem and confidence, allowing individuals to feel more comfortable and confident in their appearance.

Clothing Choices

Removing excess skin and tightening the underlying tissues can make it easier to find clothing that fits comfortably and flatters the arms, expanding wardrobe options and enhancing overall style.

THINGS TO AVOID AFTER ARM LIFT SURGERY

The following five steps will support your recovery

Strenuous Activities: Avoid engaging in strenuous exercises or lifting heavy objects for several weeks following surgery to prevent strain on the arms and minimise the risk of complications.
Smoking and Alcohol: Refrain from smoking and consuming alcohol during the recovery period, as they can impair healing, increase the risk of infection, and interfere with the body's natural healing processes.
Sun Exposure: Protect your arms from direct sunlight and UV radiation by wearing protective clothing and applying sunscreen with a high SPF to minimise the risk of hyperpigmentation, scarring, and uneven healing.
Tight Clothing: Avoid wearing tight or restrictive clothing that may rub against the incision sites and cause irritation or discomfort. Opt for loose-fitting, breathable garments to promote airflow and facilitate healing.
Neglecting Follow-Up Appointments: Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments with your surgeon to monitor your progress, address any concerns or complications promptly, and ensure optimal healing and results.

POST OP ARM LIFT SURGERY AFTERCARE

It is vital all of our patients closely follow these steps

Follow Proper Wound Care: Carefully follow your surgeon's instructions for wound care, including keeping the incision sites clean and dry, changing dressings as directed, and applying prescribed medications or ointments to prevent infection and promote healing.
Wear Compression Garments: Wear compression garments as advised by your surgeon to minimise swelling, provide support to the arms, and help reshape the treated area. Follow the recommended duration for wearing compression garments for best results.
Take Prescribed Medications: Take any prescribed medications, such as pain relievers or antibiotics, as directed by your surgeon to manage pain, reduce the risk of infection, and support the healing process. Do not skip doses or discontinue medications without consulting your surgeon.
Maintain Healthy Lifestyle Habits: Follow a balanced diet rich in nutrients, stay hydrated, and avoid excessive alcohol consumption to support the body's healing process and promote optimal recovery. Avoid smoking, as it can impair healing and increase the risk of complications.
Attend Follow-Up Appointments: Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments with your surgeon to monitor your progress, assess the healing of incisions, and address any concerns or complications promptly. These appointments are essential for ensuring proper recovery and achieving the best possible results from your arm lift surgery.

FAQS ABOUT A ARM LIFT

What is an Arm Lift?

Many women struggle with ‘bingo wings’ once they reach middle age. An arm reduction surgery or arm lift to remove the excess fat and loose skin can help to treat this condition.

How long will an Arm Lift Surgery take?

The procedure will take around 1 – 2 hours, you will either be treated as a Day case or you may need to spend the night, your surgeon will discuss this with you at your consultation

What is the Aftercare following An Arm Lift Procedure?

When you get home you’ll need to take things easy at first. Arrange at least a week off work and you’ll gradually be able to return to normal activity within four to six weeks. Light activity will be comfortable after around two weeks but you shouldn’t do anything too active – like go to the gym or take an exercise class – for around six weeks.

All patients will be given a pressure garment to wear for up 4-6 weeks after the treatment.

When will I see results?

You will be left with a scar on the back of your arm, which will ease with time. The extent of the scarring will also depend on your skin type, age and the efforts you make to eat healthily and do the right exercises after the operation.

Will there be visible scarring after arm lift surgery?

Yes, scarring is unavoidable with arm lift surgery, but your surgeon uses advanced techniques to minimise scarring and ensure the incisions are discreetly placed. Over time, scars typically fade and become less noticeable.

Where will my appointment or surgery take place?

You’ll have the flexibility to choose an initial consultation at The Mere Aesthetics & Wellbeing Clinic or one of several private hospitals across the North-West where your surgeon operates. Once you reach out to us, we’ll discuss your options in detail to find the most convenient location for you.
