Good candidates for an arm lift are individuals with excess skin and fat in the upper arm area, often due to weight loss, aging, or genetics. It's important to have realistic expectations and be in good overall health.

An arm lift is typically performed through incisions made on the inner arm, extending from the elbow to the armpit. Excess skin and fat are removed, and underlying tissues may be tightened to create smoother, firmer arm contours.

Recovery time varies, but most patients can expect swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort for 1-2 weeks. It's important to follow post-operative care instructions provided by your surgeon to ensure optimal healing.

Incisions for an arm lift are typically well-hidden on the inner arm, minimizing visible scarring. Scars will fade over time and are often barely noticeable.

While initial results will be visible shortly after the procedure, final results may take several weeks as swelling subsides and tissues settle. Patients can expect firmer, more toned arm contours with improved definition.

As with any surgical procedure, there are risks such as infection, bleeding, changes in sensation, and scarring. However, these risks are minimized when the procedure is performed by a qualified and experienced surgeon.
