An arm lift (Brachioplasty) is a surgical procedure that reduces localized pockets of fat in the upper arm region, reduces excess sagging skin that droops downward and tightens the underlying supportive tissue that defines the shape of the upper arm.
Liposuction on the arms is normally used to remove fat from the underside of the upper arms in order to create a firm and natural-looking result. Depending on the amount of fat to be removed and the natural elasticity of the skin, an arm lift to remove excess skin may be recommended as well.

Arm lift surgery may be right for you if the underside of your upper arms are sagging or appear loose and full due to excess skin and fat.
When it comes to the type of Brachioplasty You may have several options to decide from. Some of the different types are Liposuction, Limited-incision Brachioplasty, Standard Brachioplasty, and Extended Brachioplasty. At YOUNIQ, Dr. Thanuja, a leading Brachioplasty surgeon in Hyderabad will discuss and choose the Brachioplasty option that is right for you.

An arm lift is performed in a hospital as an outpatient surgery. Usually done under general anesthesia. You should also experience some bruising and swelling. To minimize swelling you should sleep with your arms elevated with pillows for about two weeks post-surgery. You will need at least two weeks or more to heal completely following your Brachioplasty. You should avoid exercises that stress the operative site for at least four weeks after your surgery. You should avoid heavy lifting, contact sports, and jogging for at least six weeks after your surgery. You should consult with your surgeon before you resume your exercise and work routine.
