Arm lift

 Arm lift

Arm lift surgery is important for many people when it comes to their body's appearance and self-confidence. Many people suffer from sagging skin and fat in the arms, which can affect their appearance and leave them feeling embarrassed and insecure.

However, Novello Clinic, the best cosmetic center in Cairo, offers arm lift surgery using the latest surgical and laser techniques. This is an effective and safe treatment for eliminating sagging skin and fat in this area.

Treatment at Novello Clinic relies on an innovative technique known as "skin tightening," which uses non-surgical methods to tighten sagging skin and improve the appearance of the arms. An experienced team evaluates each individual's condition and determines the appropriate steps for each case.

Novello Clinic's arm lift service also includes personalized follow-up after the arm lift procedure, providing advice and guidance to maintain the results achieved and ensure optimal continuity.

Arm lift

Brachioplasty is a surgical procedure offered at Novello Clinic, which tightens sagging skin and removes excess fat from the arms. This procedure aims to improve the appearance of the arms and reshape them for a more youthful and harmonious appearance.

During the procedure, an incision is made along the length of the arm on the inner side of the upper arm. Excess skin and fat are removed, and the remaining skin is then tightened. In some cases, liposuction is used to remove excess fat before tightening the skin. Sagging muscles may also be tightened if there is weakness in the arm muscles.

Arm lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia and can take approximately two hours to complete. Patients require a recovery period after the procedure, during which they may experience some swelling, pain, and bruising for a short period. The surgeon then provides appropriate guidance and care to ensure optimal recovery with minimal side effects.

Types of arm lift surgery

There are two main types of arm lift surgery:

• Full tension: 

It is done in cases of severe sagging if the sagging is in the upper and lower arm, and in cases of complete lift, the incision is made longitudinally and transversely.

• Simple tension: 

• It is performed in cases of simple and specific sagging if it is only in the upper arm, and in simple tightening, only a transverse incision is made.

Categories suitable for arm lift surgery

There are specific categories of people who can undergo arm lift surgery, including:

• Those who have sagging skin in the arms as a result of weight loss.
• Those who have undergone liposuction.
• Those who have excess fat and skin on their arms.

What are the methods for performing an arm lift?

Arm lift surgery is performed in more than one way, under local or general anesthesia, depending on the case and the extent of the lift. These methods are:

• Light lift procedure
• Medium lift
• Full facelift

Steps for performing a light lift procedure

Mild stretching is limited to the upper arms, and the following is done:

1. A transverse incision is made in the upper arm through an incision in the armpit area.
2. Excess skin is then removed from this area, especially the inner area of the arms.
3. The surgical scar is in a hidden area.
4. The surgical scar disappears after about a year.
5. In this procedure, the arms are tightened by 50-70% only.

Steps for performing a medium lift procedure

The medium lift is also performed on a hidden side of the body through the following steps:

1. The skin is surgically incised from the underarm to the inner elbow.
2. Then the excess skin is removed.
3. In this procedure, approximately 70-90 % of excess skin is removed.

 But be careful: the scar will remain visible for life and cannot be hidden.

Steps for performing a full arm lift

The full arm lift procedure is performed in precise steps under the supervision of a group of distinguished doctors at Novello Clinic, the best cosmetic center in Egypt. These steps are:

1. A transverse incision is made in the upper arm, then a longitudinal incision is made from the upper arm to the elbow.
2. A tube is then placed under the skin to help drain any fluids that may collect after the procedure.
3. The tube is then removed after a period of one or two days, when the amount of secretions coming out of it decreases.
4. The surgeon then closes the wound in a cosmetic manner using internal sutures hidden under the skin.
5. Then bandages are placed on the wound.
6. A full arm lift procedure takes one to three hours under general anesthesia.

But be aware: Some patients may need to stay in the hospital for two or three days after a full arm lift, and the incision is properly hidden inside the arm.

Advantages of arm lift surgery 

Arm lift surgery has many advantages, which are as follows:

• Helps reshape arms and improve their overall appearance, increasing self-confidence and comfort in clothing.
• Removing excess skin and fat from the upper arms, resulting in a more toned and slimmed-down appearance.
• People feel more comfortable and confident about their appearance after an arm lift.

With all these advantages, it is important to note that before undergoing any surgical procedure, you should consult a plastic surgeon at Novello Clinic to assess your condition and discuss the expectations and potential risks associated with the procedure.

Arm lift cost

The cost of an arm lift may vary based on several factors, including:

• The surgeon's reputation, specialty, and level of experience.
• Location of the center where the procedure is performed.
• The complexity and detail of the process.
• Post-operative procedures and care required by the patient.

It is best to contact us at Novello Clinic, the best cosmetic center in Egypt, to determine the cost after consulting with the surgeon, assessing your personal condition, and discussing the details of the procedure. 

However, you should keep in mind that arm lift surgery is a surgical procedure and may require costs that may include costs such as the surgery itself, anesthesia, hospital or clinic supplies, medications used, and any post-operative costs.
