Many people are bothered by loose skin and fat on the upper arms. Some people refer to the problem as “bat wing” arms. If you’re self-conscious about this condition, consider an arm lift Indiana with Dr. Robinson.
Dr. Robinson can help you determine suitability for this procedure during a personal consultation. When you visit our offices in Munster or Valparaiso, Dr. Robinson can answer all of your questions about arm lift surgery. With Dr. Robinson, you can discuss the pre-operative process, the operation and the recovery period. You can also review arm lift photos to get a better idea about the results that can be expected.
An arm lift in Indiana will require local or general anesthesia, depending on Dr. Robinson’s recommendations. The first step involves marking the arms to plan for the incisions. The incisions travel from the underarm to the elbow, residing in the inner part of your arm.
After making the incisions, Dr. Robinson removes the loose, hanging arm skin. If necessary, liposuction is also used to slim down any excess fat in the arms. To maintain the new shape and close the incisions, Dr. Robinson will close the incisions using sutures.
When your arm lift is finished, your arms will feel sore and your mobility will be limited. Dr. Robinson will give you specific instructions to follow during recovery. These may include steps to use pain medications, wear compression garments, and keep your arms elevated.
