Arm lifts take place under general anesthesia or IV sedation with local anesthesia. Several techniques exist depending on the amount of excess skin. The mini-arm lift, most appropriate for mild arm sagginess, involves an incision tucked in nicely in the underarm hair-bearing area. For significant weight loss patients (usually more than 100 pounds of weight loss), a full-length upper arm incision might be indicated. This can also be combined with a breast lift and an upper torso lift.
For patients requiring liposuction with their arm lift, Dr. DuPéré may use the harvested fat for fat grafting to re-contour other areas of the body.
Dr. DuPéré often performs arm lift surgery as part of surgery after weight loss.
Most patients having only an arm lift can go home the same day. If needed, we can arrange a supervised overnight stay.
Dr. DuPéré will place dressings or bandages on your incisions following your arm lift. He uses mostly dissolving internal sutures and removes the few external ones after a week. You can usually resume showering within 5 to 7 days. Patients must wear a compression garment for 4 week
Lymphatic drainage, offered at our med spa, can also help with your recovery.
