Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the under portion of the upper arm by removing excess skin and fat, resulting in a more toned and youthful appearance.
Preparation: Prior to the surgery, patients should attend a pre-assessment appointment to evaluate their general health and discuss any medications they are taking. It's important to follow specific instructions regarding fasting before the surgery and to arrange for transportation home, as driving immediately after the procedure is not advisable.
Procedure: Performed under general anaesthesia, the surgeon makes incisions on the inner or back of the arm, depending on the extent of correction needed. Excess skin and fat are removed, and the remaining skin is tightened. The procedure typically lasts between 2 to 3 hours, depending on the complexity.
Recovery: Post-surgery, patients may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed painkillers and ice packs. It's essential to begin gentle exercises as advised by a physiotherapist to restore mobility and prevent stiffness. Full recovery varies per individual but generally ranges from 4 to 6 weeks, during which adherence to rehabilitation exercises is crucial for optimal outcomes.
