The aim of the arm surgery procedure known internationally as (Arm lift) or (Brachioplasty) is to remove excess skin and fat in the arm, which accumulate with age, or as a result of losing a large amount of weight.
The shape of the arm depends on the amount of muscle tissue (biceps and triceps muscles), the amount of fatty tissue under the skin, and the degree of elasticity of the surrounding skin.
This extra fat that accumulates in the arm makes the arm look flabby and the skin looks sagging.
The goal of the surgery is to treat this condition. Sometimes the surgeon performs an arm lift operation, by suctioning specific fats from the arm as well.
Arm lift surgery is performed for cosmetic purposes, and usually, there is no medical necessity to perform this operation, but patients resort to arm plastic surgery to enhance their self-confidence.
Improving the external appearance of the body is the main reason why people undergo various types of cosmetic surgeries and treatments.
Shoulders and arms are completely sterilized.
Several small incisions are made in the back of the arm (the inner lower part of the arm).
The incisions are small and are made in several places from the joint area to the border of the armpit.
The incision passes through the skin and the layers that lie under the skin.
The incision is opened.
The surgeon removes excess tissue – the subcutaneous fat and the skin
Usually, the surgeon does not remove large amounts of excess tissue but rather removes enough amount to make the arm appear less saggy.
In most cases, a large-scale excision of excess fat tissue is not performed during the surgery, with the exception of cases where liposuction is performed during surgery.
Finally, the skin is tightened and the incisions are sutured using special stitches, and then an elastic bandage/dressing is applied.
After arm surgery, the patient remains under observation at night and may leave the hospital after.
The dressings and drained tube (if placed) are usually removed the day after the operation or a few days later.
There may be bleeding in the arms, which will be absorbed by the body within two weeks.
Swelling may often occur during the first weeks after surgery, and this swelling will gradually subside.
Analgesics can be used to reduce pain
