Arm Lift in Gangnam Seoul, Korea
An arm lift is a procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms, helping to create a more toned and youthful appearance. This surgery is especially popular for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss or have loose skin due to aging. Wooa Plastic Surgery’s experienced surgeons use advanced techniques to ensure minimal scarring and natural-looking results. The arm lift procedure at Wooa helps patients achieve firmer, smoother arms and enhanced body proportions.
Who are suitable candidates for arm lift?
Suitable candidates for an arm lift are individuals who have loose or sagging skin on their upper arms, often due to significant weight loss, aging, or genetics. It’s ideal for those who are in good overall health, have realistic expectations about the surgery, and are not planning significant weight changes in the near future. Patients should also be non-smokers, as smoking can interfere with the healing process. If exercise and diet haven’t been effective in achieving a toned arm appearance, an arm lift could be a beneficial option for improving the contour of the arms.
Brachioplasty Before And After
How is an arm lift performed?
After you are marked by Dr. Farris, the procedure is performed under general anesthesia. If liposuction to the arms is also to be done, it is performed first. For limited incision arm lifts, the incision is placed at the arm crease near the armpit. For a full arm lift, the incision extends from the elbow area to the armpit. This is determined by the extent of excess skin and tissue that you have. The excess skin and fat is then removed and closure is performed with the sutures buried under your skin. A compression garment is then applied.
What are the expected results like?
The expected results of an arm lift are firmer, smoother, and more toned-looking arms with a significant reduction in sagging or excess skin. The procedure helps contour the upper arms, eliminating loose skin and fatty tissue to create a more youthful and defined appearance. Scarring is minimal and typically located along the inner arm or underarm, and with proper care, it fades over time. After recovery, most patients experience a noticeable improvement in both the appearance and feel of their arms, with results that can last for years, especially with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.
Overall recovery procedure of an arm lift
Recovery from an arm lift typically takes around 2 to 4 weeks for the initial healing phase. During this time, you may experience swelling, bruising, and some discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medications. You will need to wear a compression garment to reduce swelling and support the arms as they heal. Most patients can return to light activities after about 2 weeks, but strenuous exercises and heavy lifting should be avoided for about 4 to 6 weeks. Full recovery and final results may take several months, as swelling continues to subside and the scars gradually fade.
How much does an arm lift cost in Korea?
Is liposuction combined with arm lift?
Liposuction is often combined with an arm lift (brachioplasty) to enhance the results. Liposuction helps remove excess fat from the upper arms, which can improve the contour and shape of the arms even further. The combination of skin removal and fat reduction creates a more defined, toned appearance. This dual approach is especially effective for patients who have both loose skin and stubborn fat in the arm area, providing a more sculpted look after the surgery.
How can I maintain the results ?
- Maintain a Stable Weight: Avoid significant weight fluctuations, as they can cause skin to stretch and affect the results.
- Follow a Healthy Diet: Eating a balanced diet rich in nutrients helps keep your skin healthy and firm, supporting long-lasting results.
- Exercise Regularly: Engaging in regular strength training or cardio can help tone the arms and prevent excess fat accumulation.
- Stay Hydrated: Drinking enough water promotes skin elasticity and overall health, aiding in the maintenance of smooth, firm skin.
- Avoid Smoking: Smoking can slow the healing process and impact skin elasticity, so it’s best to avoid smoking for optimal long-term results.
