The upper arm lift is helpful after major weight loss or age-related loss of skin elasticity of the upper arms. It removes annoying skin flaps and in combination with liposuction excess fatty deposits.
When the skin of the upper arms sags, as if it were one or several sizes too large, this can become a physical strain for the affected person. Short sleeves are a no-no and every lifting of the arms, every wave makes the defect tangible and visible.
The expert team of aesthetic plastic surgeons at Rosenpark Clinic will show you the best way to improve the appearance of your upper arms. If your only problem consist of excess fat and pockets of fat, liposuction can be sufficient. If only skin winkling is the problem without sagging fractional laser or Hyaluronic acid treatments can improve the conditions.
Surgical tightening of the upper arms alone will only help in specific cases and for profusely excess skin because the procedure will leave behind visible scars on the inside of the upper arms.
The incision for the lifting operation is made from the armpit to the inner elbow area. The surrounding skin is loosened, the sagging skin is tightened and fatty deposits are removed by liposuction before the skinincision, if needed.
The upper arm lift is done under twilight sleep or under general anesthesia. For more information about your options for a comfortable, pain-free treatment see the anesthesia section.
We like to keep you at the clinic for 24 hours after the surgery. Eight days later you will be able to resume your work and social obligations.
You can find more information in our "Body shaping" information sheets, which you can request from us free of charge.
