Reduce Excess Skin And Fat On Your Arms With Upper Arm Lift Surgery

Lately my grandma has been very self conscious about her appearance and wishes that the extra fat and skin hanging from her upper arms would just go away. She had never heard of a plastic surgery procedure that could remove all of this fat and skin, just like she wanted. So I browsed the internet with her and was able to show her how this procedure works and how it is perfect for her.

We found a website called bazziplasticsurgery.com that taught us everything we needed to know about this procedure called Upper Arm Lift Surgery and how it:
"* Reduces excess skin and fat between the underarm and the elbow
* Reshapes your arm to result in smoother skin and contours
* Results in a more toned and proportionate appearance"

My grandma was so excited to learn about this procedure that she called up the surgeon that very day and set up an appointment to have a consultation with him. She is now well on her way to receiving an Upper Arm Lift Surgery of her own.

Reduce or Eliminate Excess Skin From the Upper Arms

If you have unsightly sagging skin on the upper arms due to aging, genetics, or weight loss, you may be a candidate for upper arm lift. The procedure is intended to reduce or eliminate excess skin from the upper arms.

The procedure is usually done under general anesthesia. In order to remove the unwanted skin, an incision is required that runs from near the elbow into the armpit. The incision is placed in the most inconspicuous location (inner arm toward the back), but some scarring will always be visible.

After surgery, the upper arms are either wrapped or placed in an elastic sleeve to reduce swelling. Initial healing usually occurs in 10-14 days. Sutures are usually removed within the first 24 weeks. Swelling and bruising gradually disappear over 3-4 weeks. All swelling is gone in 3-6 months. The scars fade in 6-24 months depending on your skin. An additional procedure that may enhance the result is Liposuction of the upper arms.

This procedure is considered cosmetic and therefore is not covered by insurance. The patient is responsible for payment. The specific risks and the suitability of this procedure for a given individual can be determined only at the time of consultation. All surgical procedures have some degree of risk. Minor complications that do not affect the outcome occur occasionally. Major complications are unusual.
