Arm reshaping surgeries are designed to enhance the appearance of the upper arms by addressing excess fat, sagging skin, or both. These procedures help achieve a slimmer, more toned contour, especially for individuals struggling with the “bat-wing” effect caused by aging, weight changes, or significant weight loss.
An arm lift removes excess skin and tightens the underlying tissue for a smoother, firmer look. It includes two types: the long-scar arm lift, ideal for significant sagging, and the short-scar or hidden-scar arm lift, suited for minor sagging with scars discreetly hidden in the armpit. For stubborn fat deposits, arm liposuction effectively sculpts the arms, and skin-tightening treatments further enhance results by improving mild laxity.
All three techniques—arm lift, liposuction, and skin tightening—can be combined in one session for a comprehensive transformation. This approach allows the surgeon to address fat, loose skin, and tissue laxity simultaneously, providing optimal results with minimal recovery time. The combination is customized to meet the patient’s unique goals for a toned and contoured appearance.
