Upper arm lift Düsseldorf
Upper arm lift
During an upper arm lift, excess skin is lifted and restored to the desired shape.
Sagging or drooping skin on the upper arms is usually caused by severe weight loss or a loss of skin elasticity after pregnancy. This is particularly visible and disturbing on the upper arms and many women feel extremely uncomfortable. Diets, exercise or massages cannot remedy this. The noticeable excess skin and fat on the upper arms is not only distracting when exercising or choosing clothes, but also contrasts with the rest of the body's proportions. Many sufferers, especially women, have an understandable desire to have this unpleasant side effect corrected.

Ageing of the skin
As the skin ages and due to possible weight loss, the elasticity of the skin decreases, leading to sagging of the skin. This problem can be eliminated with an upper arm lift. The patient is freed from sagging skin and can be proud of their firm, flawless skin. In some cases, the procedure must be combined with liposuction.
However, the annoying excess skin can be removed with cosmetic surgery. The treatment is often combined with liposuction to optimize the contour of the arms and adjacent areas. The result is usually permanent. However, if the connective tissue is weak, it may be necessary to repeat the treatment after several years.
How does an upper arm lift work?
Are you suitable?
Your physical health allows such an operation
You should have realistic expectations
Your growth is complete
Any excess weight should be reduced before the operation. You should discuss this with your doctor:
Why do you want to undergo such an operation and what are your expectations?
Medication intolerances and allergies
Your general state of health
Are you taking blood-thinning medication (aspirin or similar)?
Your consumption of alcohol and nicotine
Previous operations
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia. Immediately before the treatment, the arm is measured and the excess skin is marked. The spindle-shaped incision is made on the inside of the upper arms from the armpit to the elbow. The excess skin and fatty tissue are then removed. The wound is then sutured. The remaining skin is then tightened. Due to the incision on the inside of the upper arms, scars are barely visible later on.
You will receive an elastic bandage after the treatment. During the first few days, you may experience a feeling of tightness. The result of an upper arm lift is usually very good, the skin is taut and smooth again. The final result is visible after approx. 6 months.
