Best Arm Lift Surgery in Delaware (Brachioplasty)

Incision length and pattern during arm lift surgery depend on the amount and location of excess skin to be removed. Incisions are generally placed on the inside of the arm or on the back of the arm, and may extend from the underarm (axilla) to just above the elbow. Excess fat may be directly excised or treated with liposuction. Depending on your specific condition, incisions may be more limited. Then, underlying supportive tissue is tightened and reshaped with internal sutures. Finally, the skin is smoothed over the new contour of your arm.

If you do not want to undergo a traditional arm lift, a laser arm lift using the SmartLipo Triplex system may be excellent alternative.

A small cannula, or hollow tube, is inserted under the skin of your upper arm. Laser energy is delivered through the cannula to the fat cells, causing them to liquefy. Then, the liquefied fat is gently suctioned out of the body. The laser is also used to apply heat to the underside of the skin. This causes the skin to tighten and causes an increase in collagen production, furthering skin tightening. The entire procedure generally takes less than a few hours, and you will be able to return home the same day.

If you have mild to moderate skin sagging in the upper arms, a laser arm lift using Precision TX is often a good alternative to traditional arm lifts. With Precision TX, the procedure is minimally invasive, and unlike a traditional arm lift, Precision TX works to tighten the skin rather than remove it. This results in less pain, scarring and minimal downtime.

An arm lift using the SmartLipo Triplex or Precision TX systems causes very little trauma to the tissue. This results in less bruising and swelling. Because the incisions are so small, there is no need for stitches. In most cases, you can immediately resume light activities and some people are even able to return to work in a few days. Full recovery takes less than two weeks, however, it may take as long as six months to see the final result. A traditional arm lift will require longer recovery time.
