What you need to know about Arm Lift in Rio de Janeiro

An arm lift, also known as a Brachioplasty, is a cosmetic surgery to treat sagging underarms and the connecting area of the chest wall. The surgery improves the appearance of the under portion of a person’s upper arm. It reduces extra skin, removes excess fat, tightens and smooths the underlying tissue that defines the shape of the upper arm. The surgery can make your upper arms look more defined and toned.

As you get older, your skin changes and becomes loose, particularly the skin on your upper arms. Genetics and significant weight loss also play a role in the development of drooping upper arms. While exercise can strengthen the muscle tone in your upper arm, it cannot correct excess skin that has lost its elasticity.

You might consider this procedure if the undersides of your upper arm appear loose or sagging due to excess skin and fat. Since it can improve your appearance, many people who had the procedure found that it boosted their body image.

In general, good candidates for an arm lift surgery are individuals with significant upper arm skin laxity, individuals who are not significantly overweight, and healthy individuals without medical conditions, as it can increase the risk of surgery.

What's the Recovery Time for Arm Lift Procedures in Rio de Janeiro?

The recovery period of an arm lift is typically short as long as you follow your surgeon’s postoperative care instruction. You may be able to return to work and resume some light activities within two weeks, and you should be able to return to your normal daily routine in six weeks. The surgeon may get you to wear a compression sleeve for a few weeks to keep your swelling down. However, allow six months before doing any strenuous and athletic activities, such as sport, because it might stretch the incision. The healing time for your swelling may take two to three months. Contact your doctor immediately if you experience shortness of breaths, irregular heartbeat, chest pains, a fever, or redness of the skin.

What's the Success Rate of Arm Lift Procedures in Rio de Janeiro?

The success rate of a Arm Lift, such as an arm lift, hinges on factors like the patient's overall health, weight stability post-procedure, and the surgeon's expertise. Ensuring the procedure is performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon can dramatically optimize outcomes. Patient satisfaction post Arm Lift is typically high, with most studies showcasing rates between 80 to 90 percent. This high success rate is often attributed to improved arm contour, enhanced comfort during physical activities, and boosted self-esteem.

However, success is invariably subjective and varies amongst individuals, so it's critical to set realistic expectations whilst bearing in mind that the aim is enhancement, not perfection. Moreover, the occurrence of complications post arm lift procedures is relatively scarce, particularly when under the experienced hands of a renowned surgeon.When the Arm Lift is performed as part of overall body contouring after significant weight loss, the success rates and patient satisfaction tends to be even higher. This is supported by enhanced quality of life experienced by the patients, resultant of simplified daily routines and renewed self-confidence. Overall, the success of an arm lift procedure extends beyond just physical transformation, contributing largely to the individual's psychological well-being.
