Arm Lift Savannah, GA | Dr. John D. Paletta, MD

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

Excessive weight loss or aging can result in sagging upper arm skin and loss of shape. An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a specialized surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat deposits, restoring youthful arm contours.

Surgical Procedure Details

During an arm lift, strategic incisions are made to allow the underlying tissues to be tightened and redundant skin to be carefully removed. The incisions are then meticulously stitched or taped to ensure optimal healing and minimal scarring.

Recovery and Aftercare

• Arms will be bandaged to manage swelling
• Small drainage tubes might be placed to remove excess fluid
• Compression sleeve recommended for several weeks
• Avoid physical activities that might stretch incisions for 4-8 weeks

Long-Term Results and Maintenance

Arm lift results are relatively permanent and can be best maintained through maintaining a stable weight and consistent fitness routine. The procedure provides significant improvements in arm appearance and body contour.

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift

Candidates typically include individuals experiencing significant skin laxity in the upper arm region, often resulting from substantial weight loss or natural aging processes. A comprehensive consultation with Dr. Paletta can help determine individual suitability.
