ARM LIFT STAMFORD, CT | DR. CHANG SOO KIM, MD | PLASTIC SURGERY

UNDERSTANDING ARM LIFT SURGERY

Pregnancy, weight changes, and aging can contribute to excess loose
skin or fatty tissue on the upper arms, often causing
self-consciousness about arm appearance. An arm lift is a specialized
surgical procedure designed to tighten skin and recontour the arm's
shape, providing patients with a more lean and defined silhouette.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR ARM LIFT

Suitable candidates for arm lift surgery typically exhibit the
following characteristics:

 	* Excessive skin or fatty tissue between elbow and shoulder
	* Close to ideal body weight
	* Good overall physical health
	* Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

Dr. Chang Soo Kim performs arm lifts under IV sedation or general
anesthesia. The procedure involves strategic steps to reshape and
refine arm contours:

 	* Tumescent liposuction fluid is infused into upper arm fatty
tissues
	* Fine cannula used for precise fatty tissue removal and contouring
	* Incision placement varies based on individual patient requirements
	* Drains placed to minimize swelling
	* Compression sleeve applied during recovery

RECOVERY AND AFTERCARE

Post-surgical recovery involves manageable discomfort and specific
care protocols. Patients can expect mild pain controlled with oral
medication. Drains are typically removed after one week, and
dissolving sutures eliminate the need for manual removal.

RECOVERY MILESTONES

 	* Compression sleeves worn for 3-6 weeks
	* Normal exercise resumed after six weeks
	* Follow detailed post-operative instructions
