Types of Armlifts

Laser Liposuction Armlift

An arm lift can sometimes be done by using laser liposuction. This avoids the long scar that is seen when you remove skin. Through a few tiny punctures, the fat is removed by liposuction. Then, the skin is lasered from the inside to help promote tightening. Recovery is only a matter of days as there is no incision to heal. Discomfort is minimal.

C Armlift Crescent Armlift
Mini Scar Armlift

A mini scar also called a C, or crescent brachioplasty is done with a small incision that is only seen in the armpit. The amount of skin removal that can be accomplished is limited. Therefore, the result is often not as dramatic as a traditional arm lift, but the incision is not very visible, unless a person raises their arms over their head.

Full Arm Lift / Brachioplasty.

A full or traditional brachioplasty, removes the excess skin and fat. This can be a very dramatic change. However, when someone raises or extends their arms, there is usually a line that is visible where the skin was removed. This extends from the armpit down to near the elbow. The skin and fat is all removed, and the changes are usually very dramatic.

Extended Arm lift/ Brachioplasty

In an extended brachioplasty, the incision continues from the armpit down the side of the upper chest to remove fat and skin in that area.

Arm Lift

The cost of an arm lift varies, and depends on numerous factors such as the extent of skin removal, anesthesia fees, and other hospital costs.

Closing the Incisions

After removal of the planned areas, the incisions are sutra with plastic surgery techniques, to minimize visible scarring later. The upper arms or then wrapped in a light dressing.

Anesthesia for a brachioplasty is a combination of local and a light general, which is similar to the anesthesia used for a colonoscopy. After the surgery, patients wake up very quickly. Only a small amount of this anesthetic is necessary to keep the patient asleep, because they felt no pain during the surgery. The area was blocked with a long – acting Novocain as soon as the person went to sleep and before the surgery was started, therefore, when the patient wakes up they feel much better than they might have.

Like with any surgical procedure, there are some risks. These include bleeding, infection, scarring, asymmetry, nerve damage, and skin loss, but Dr. Studin has performed thousands of similar surgeries, and takes comprehensive steps to minimize these risks.
