Keep in mind that each patient is unique and your results may vary.
Procedure Description
An upper arm lift procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation. An incision is made from the elbow into the armpit, and the excess skin is removed. The incision is made in the most inconspicuous location possible (inner arm toward the back), but some scarring will always be visible.
Additional procedures that may enhance the result:
- Liposuction of the upper arm or armpit

Recuperation And Healing
After an upper arm lift, the upper arms are wrapped or placed in an elastic sleeve to reduce swelling. Sutures are usually removed in the first 2 to 3 weeks. Bruising and swelling gradually disappear over 3 to 4 weeks. All swelling is gone in 3 to 6 months.
