Arm Lifting

Analogously to thigh lifting, Arm Lifting (or brachial dermal defatting) serves to remodel the 3rd. superomedial of the arms, by removing excess cutis. This intervention almost exclusively concerns obese patients who have lost weight - with considerable cutaneous relaxation at this level – or persons of normal weight but elderly. The intervention lasts around 3 hours and 1 day of hospitalisation is required. Elastic compression medication for 4-5 days, stitches removed after 7 – 10 days.
