Arm lift Surgery (brachioplasty) is a very effective technique to get rid of stubborn fat and loose skin, from the upper arms, that you have been unable to remove through diet or exercise.
Some patients may find that there is excess fat on their arms but they do not have the excess skin present that categorically suggests a arm lift is needed. In these cases liposuction may be a more suitable treatment. In other cases where both excess fat and skin is present, Mr El Gawad offers liposuction in conjunction with the arm lift surgery to achieve the desired outcome.

Arm lift surgery is usually done under general anaesthesia. There are some clinics however that may do arm lift surgery under a local anaesthetic with sedation. Under a general anaesthetic you will be totally asleep during the operation whereas under a local you will be conscious but sedated so that you are not able to feel any pain.
The above will depend on the surgeon you are having it with. If you are having a general anaesthesia for your arm lift surgery you will be asked to avoid food or anything to drink for several hours before the operation takes place.
The surgeon will make precise cuts along the inside of the arms before carefully removing the excess skin that normally hangs underneath the arms. The skin is then stitched back into place. In some cases liposuction would be also used to remove any excess fat and sculpture the shape of the arms. The surgeon will try to place the cut lines with the natural contours of the arm. This is to help blend any resulting scarring.
Arm lift surgery usually takes two to three hours. You may be required to stay in hospital overnight to check everything is ok.
