What is an Arm Lift?

An arm lift tightens and reshapes the upper arms by removing excess skin and fat. It’s perfect for those who’ve lost a significant amount of weight or for individuals experiencing the natural effects of aging that result in sagging skin around the arms. The surgery targets the underarms, where a skilled surgeon removes any unwanted tissue and tightens the skin to create a smoother, firmer look.

What to Expect on the Day of Arm Lift Surgery

During the arm lift surgery itself, Dr. Rivera will begin by making precise incisions, typically along the inner or outer side of the arm. Once the incisions are made, he will remove any excess skin and fat and then tighten the underlying tissue for a more sculpted and toned appearance. The skin is then pulled smoothly over the arm to create a tighter, more defined contour.

Dr. Rivera takes extra care to ensure the skin is evenly tightened and any excess tissue is carefully removed for a balanced and natural look. He also ensures that the incisions are placed in areas that can be easily hidden, minimizing visible scarring. Once the desired shape is achieved, your incisions will be closed with fine sutures, and the area will be carefully bandaged.

Arm Lift Recovery

The recovery after an arm lift is gradual, but the results begin to show fairly quickly. You’ll likely experience some swelling and bruising, which is completely normal and should subside over the first few weeks. Dr. Rivera will provide you with a compression garment to wear, which will help support the healing tissues and minimize swelling. It’s essential to avoid strenuous activities regarding your arms and heavy lifting for a few weeks to allow the arms to heal properly.

While many people can return to light activities within a week, full recovery can take several months. During this time, your arms will continue to heal, and any remaining swelling will gradually decrease
