One day, as you are confidently waving goodbye to someone, you notice that your upper arms are also waving; only they keep on waving even though you have stopped. If this sounds familiar, you should know that you are not alone; many people experience flabby arms and loose skin as they age or after losing a significant amount of weight.
Even if you work out or lift weights to build muscle, excess upper arm fat can be resistant, and loose skin is often unable to fully snap back and give your arms a firm, toned look. Before you declare all sleeveless attire off-limits forever, you should consider an invisible arm lift. Dr. Angelina Postoev offers the invisible arm lift in Atlanta, Georgia, at IBI Plastic Surgery & Med Spa.
Sculpted Arms With Minimal Scarring
If you have a mild to moderate amount of excess skin and fat on your upper arms that has you hiding in long sleeves year-round, invisible arm lift surgery (limited-incision brachioplasty) may be the perfect solution for you. This surgical procedure is designed to remove excess fat and loose skin to enhance the appearance of your upper arms and give them more definition. It differs from a full brachioplasty because this arm lift uses shorter under armpit incisions, so the scars are not easily noticeable and the recovery is much shorter.
Invisible Arm Lift Surgery Might Be Perfect For You
If you are looking for a solution for your saggy and flabby upper arms, this hidden scar arm lift may be a great solution for you. If you have a mild to moderate amount of excess fat and loose, saggy skin that has taken up residence on your upper arm due to weight loss or the natural process of aging, Dr. Angelina Postoev at IBI Plastic Surgery & Med Spa can help.
You can set up an in-person or virtual consultation during which she will take a look at your arms, obtain your medical history, assess your current health, and talk with you about the results you desire. If you have maintained a steady weight for at least six months, are free from medical conditions that could contribute to complications during or after the surgery, and have a good understanding of the procedure and what it can accomplish, she will qualify you as a good candidate for an invisible arm lift.
If you have a substantial amount of loose skin and fat, she may recommend a full arm lift because this minimal incision arm lift works best for people who only have a mild or moderate amount of loose skin that can be removed using just a small incision.
Invisible Arm Lift Surgery Does Not Require A Hospital Stay
This surgery usually takes just a few hours and is an outpatient procedure, meaning you can go home the same day. Dr. Angelina uses a small incision in a location that will most easily hide any scarring. She may use a combination of liposuction and excision to eliminate the unwanted fat and to tighten the surrounding skin, and then a compression sleeve will be placed over the treated area. This will help mitigate bruising and swelling and help you heal properly. After a few hours of observation by the expert medical team, you will be able to go home and recover comfortably in your own surroundings.
You Will Have Slimmer, Toned Arms With Minimal Downtime
Everyone recovers at their own rate, but most people are able to return to the majority of their normal activities in just a week or two. It can take between four and six weeks to fully get back to life as usual, but you may have some residual swelling for a few months. Many people are able to go back to work in just a week, but it will depend on the type of job you have. Dr. Angelina will guide you on when you can resume more strenuous activities and provide you with aftercare instructions on how to care for your incisions, manage discomfort, and ensure that you heal properly and get the best results. You will be back out there, sleeveless and confident, in no time flat!
Are You Ready For Sleeveless Season?
After an invisible arm lift, you will have improved contours and smoother, tighter skin on your upper arms, and many do not have a visible scar from their arm lift (under armpit incision) because their incision site is well hidden.
After undergoing an upper arm lift, you will feel more comfortable, confident, and self-assured wearing sleeveless clothing. It is important that you understand that to maintain your sleeker, more toned arms, you need to practice healthy lifestyle choices, including eating a healthy diet, getting regular exercise, and avoiding significant weight fluctuations.
