Getting Firm, Sculpted Arms with Arm Lift Surgery in NJ

POSTED ON FRIDAY, JULY 24, 2020 AT 10:56 AM  by Dr. Mokhtar Asaadi

Hanging, or excess skin around the arms is common in those who have experienced substantial weight loss. The loss of firmness and elasticity in the skin, which occurs naturally with age, can also lead to pockets of loose, hanging skin around the triceps. This excess skin can make you feel self-conscious, especially during the summer months when wearing sleeveless and short sleeved tops. If you are in this position and wish to slim and tighten your arms, arm lift surgery may be for you.

What Is Arm Lift Surgery?

Arm lift surgery is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the upper arm by tightening, smoothing, and reshaping the supportive tissue around the arm through the removal of excess skin.

How Is Arm Lift Surgery Performed?

Dr. Asaadi utilizes the avulsion arm lift technique. This technique uses  a combination of liposuction and surgical excision of loose skin. During this method, a tumescent anesthetic solution is first applied to the area, followed by tiny incisions where a small cannula can be inserted under the skin to gently extract excess fat cells. Liposuction immediately helps sculpt the arms and create smooth contours.

Following liposuction, arm lift surgery is performed, removing any excess skin hanging from the arms. The avulsion arm lift technique minimizes bruising, swelling, and trauma to the area, while also preserving lymphatics.

After arm lift surgery, patients can expect tightened, sculpted, and more youthful-looking arms. Carefully placed incisions ensure that post-surgery scars remain virtually unnoticeable, and a skilled surgeon will pay careful attention to ensure a symmetrical balance between the arms.

Should I Get Arm Lift Surgery?

You may be a candidate for arm lift surgery if:

  • You have experienced significant weight loss and are now dealing with drooping skin around your arms as a result
  • You have noticed sagging skin developing around your arms as you have aged
  • You are of a relatively healthy weight
