Arm Lift

During your consultation your cosmetic surgeon will take a medical history and ask you about your goals for the procedure. He will discuss the surgery and make sure you understand the amount of scarring to be expected.

Because scars on the body do not fade as much as those on the face, increasing efforts have focused on limiting the scars for arm lift surgery. When the degree of loose skin and fatty tissue is limited, it is possible to perform a combination of liposuction and shorter scar technique.

At your consultation, your cosmetic surgeon will discuss with you whether you would be a suitable candidate for this approach. It requires that only a moderate volume needs to be reduced and that your skin has sufficient elasticity. People who have significant sun damage, extensive stretch marks or very loose skin are not candidates for short scar surgery.
