With age, the skin on the inner arms, which is very thin in women, tends to slacken. This process is more rapid in the case of significant or repetitive weight changes.
The aim of the operation is to reduce fatty infiltration by liposuction, but also to remove excess skin and re-drape the remaining skin. The incision may be vertical, longitudinal, running along the inside of the arm, or horizontal, in one of the folds of the armpit.
In the latter case, the scar is more discreet, but the redraping is less effective. Unfortunately, longitudinal scars are quite visible. There is therefore a compromise to be found between a perfectly concealed scar and a quality re-draping. This must be discussed beforehand in consultation.
The aim of this surgery is to make an improvement, not to achieve perfection.
How does the operation work?

What happens during the operation?
The procedure lasts 90 minutes and begins with liposuction to remove fat from the arm, followed by a customised arm lift. The scar is hidden on the inside of the arm. Afterwards, you will have to wear sleeves for 1 month, day and night. Bathing, carrying heavy loads and sport should also be avoided for 1 month. Walking is possible, however.
