Upper Arm Lift Cosmetic Surgery Procedure
by: T.Going
As the human body ages our skin becomes looser and less elastic,
causing it to droop and sag. One of the most common places this
effect of aging is seen is the upper arm. A growing number of
men and women are having a procedure called brachioplasty performed
to reverse this. Brachioplasty tightens and reforms the muscles
of the upper arm into a more attractive shape.
This procedure starts with a small incision within the inside
of the arm. The incision starts at the elbow and travels up to
the armpit. The surgeon can then remove any excess skin. After
the skin has been separated from the underlying tissue, the muscle
is reshaped and reformed to better retain its shape. If needed,
the doctor may choose to perform liposuction. The result will
be a firmer and more attractively sculpted arm.
Depending on the procedure the recovery time from this operation
can be somewhat of an extended process. If both arms are operated
on, then the patient must have assistance during the first few
days after the surgery. Both arms must be immobilized to ensure
proper healing. The patient will also be required to wear an elastic
support garment to compress and reinforce the new shape of the
arm. This garment can generally be removed after about two weeks,
but the area around the arm will still be bruised and swollen.
This however, is completely normal. After about another week,
the remaining staples and sutures will be removed. The final swelling
should be completely gone after about two months.
