BRACHIOPLASTY - ARM LIFT SURGERY IN DUBAI

Following substantial weight loss, rapid skin retraction can struggle to keep pace with fat reduction, requiring a Brachioplasty for upper arm tightening and removing excess skin

WHAT IS ARM LIFT SURGERY

Excessive weight loss can leave behind loose, sagging skin, especially in the upper arms, which can be frustrating because the skin does not return to its original shape, leaving many individuals who desire a contoured physique after weight loss feeling discontent with their new body. At Cornerstone Clinic, located in Dubai Marina, we offer brachioplasty, also known as arm lift surgery, a contouring procedure designed to remove excess skin and reshape the upper arms for a more sculpted, youthful appearance.

Following substantial weight loss, rapid skin retraction can struggle to keep pace with fat reduction. This results in loose, excess skin that hangs from the upper arms which cab also be caused by:

Changes in Skin Elasticity: As we age, our skin naturally loses elasticity, making it less able to bounce back into place after significant weight loss.
Genetics: Some individuals are predisposed to having less elastic skin.
Amount of Weight Loss: The greater the weight loss, the more likely you are to experience loose skin.

BENEFITS OF BRACHIOPLASTY

Enhanced Arm Definition: The procedure removes excess skin, resulting in firmer and tighter upper arms
Confidence Boost: By achieving a more sculpted appearance, brachioplasty can significantly enhance your confidence when wearing sleeveless clothing.

PROCEDURE

Initially, there will be a consultation at Cornerstone Clinic, Dubai Marina, with our board-certified plastic surgeon. The surgeon will thoroughly evaluate your needs and discuss your goals for arm reshaping. The surgeon will assess your skin quality, the extent of excess skin, and your overall health to determine if brachioplasty is the right option for you.

The surgeon will make incisions on the underside of the upper arms. The length and location of the incisions will depend on the amount of excess skin. Subsequently, the doctor will remove excess skin and tighten the underlying tissues to create a more sculpted look, then close the incisions with sutures.

A full recovery will be expected a couple of weeks after the procedure, and a follow-up appointment will be scheduled to check the healing and the removal of the stitches.

The brachioplasty procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis under general anaesthesia. The surgery takes approximately 2-3 hours, and most patients can return home on the same day. It is important to remember that strenuous activities should be avoided for 4 to 6 weeks after the operation, and any activity should be performed only after consultation with the surgeon.

AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR ARM FAT REDUCTION

Ideal candidates for brachioplasty are individuals who:

Have reached a stable weight and are unlikely to experience significant weight fluctuations in the future.
Maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Have good skin elasticity.

He is a true expert who genuinely cares about his patients and provides exceptional after care, all of his clinicians are very experienced and supportive. These procedures are significant and it’s crucial to go to the best experts with strong reputations. Within 4 weeks I was travelling and back to normal, and the procedure was done without drains.
