Reading PA Arm Lift Surgery
Most people may not spend much time thinking about their arms. Unfortunately for those who have loose or hanging skin on their upper arms, it can be hard to not think about it—especially when faced with a tank top. Whether it is the result of aging, genetics, or significant weight loss, it can be near impossible to improve this sagging tissue on your own.
How an Arm Lift Can Help
Arm lift surgery (“brachioplasty”) with our board certified plastic surgeons can reshape your upper arms to appear more toned and attractive. Typically, the procedure can address the length of the underarm to the elbow. Your surgeon carefully removes excess sagging skin, fat, and subcutaneous tissue, leaving your arms much firmer and better toned.
As with any procedure, some scarring will result, but these are usually well-hidden on the underside of the arm and will fade over time.
Combining Procedure for Enhanced Results
An arm lift will address only excess, sagging skin. If there is a high concentration of fat in the area, you may benefit from liposuction as well. If this is the case, liposuction may be performed prior to, or in conjunction with, arm lift surgery. The best way to determine which combination of procedures will provide you with the best results is to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.
