Arm Liftin Baltimore, MD
An arm lift removes the excess skin from the upper arms and reduces the circumference of the upper arms. If you are looking to get an arm lift in Baltimore, our experienced surgeons are ready to help. There are multiple ways to sculpt the arm, including Liposuction, Minimal Access Brachioplasty (axillary scar and liposuction), and Traditional Brachioplasty.
Who is a good candidate for an arm lift?
You may be a candidate for an upper arm lift if you have sagging skin on the upper arms. Upper arm tissue can relax with age, genetics, gravity and weight loss. The drooping of skin is from a stretching of the anchoring system of the arm and loss of supporting fat. Patients are very unhappy with this “loose hammock” appearance.
Many of our post-bariatric patients benefit from Arm Lift surgery after massive weight loss causes the excess skin of the arms to hang down.
- A more youthful appearance and thinner contour to the arms.
- Reduction of flabbiness, extra skin, and fat, in the upper inner arms.
- Greater confidence and comfort in clothing.
- Long-lasting results.
Where will the procedure take place?
Most arm lift patients elect to have their procedures performed in our on-site surgery center. Our 5-star facility, the Clarkview Surgical Center, was designed with the safety, comfort, privacy, and convenience of our patients in mind. It features state-of-the-art technology and meets the most rigorous safety standards.
We are proud to be one of the few outpatient surgical facilities to earn AAAHC accreditation, as well as certifications from Medicare and the state of Maryland. Because safety is our first concern, all surgical procedures are performed with board-certified anesthesiologists and registered nurses.
How is an arm lift procedure performed?
In order to remove the unwanted skin, an incision is made from near the elbow, into the underarm. Your surgeon will place the incision in the most inconspicuous location (inner arm toward the back), where the tissue can be best tightened.
An upper arm lift takes approximately two hours. This surgery is done on an outpatient basis with general anesthesia. Because safety is always our first concern, we always work with board-certified anesthesiologists to ensure that your surgery is as safe as possible. Following your surgery, you will be able to rest in the comfort of your own home.
- Patients may experience some degree of bruising, swelling, tenderness, and/or numbness.
- Drains may remain in place for about three to seven days.
- Limit activity for the next 5 -7 days following surgery.
- Avoid strenuous activities for about four to six weeks.
- Some patients are ready to return to work in a week.
- Our Baltimore plastic surgeons may recommend a compression garment be worn for a few weeks for support.
