Phoenix Arm Lift Surgery
If you’re tired of hiding your arms, Dr. Craft’s arm lift procedure can give you the arms you want and give you confidence to show them off to the world.
What is an arm lift?
Many individuals dislike the appearance of their arms due to excess, sagging skin that develops from the elbow to the shoulder. The cause of this issue can be a result of genetics, getting older, losing a significant amount of weight. However, an arm lift (brachioplasty) has the ability to provide patients with beautiful upper arms that appear much more slim, toned, and firm.
How does an arm lift work?
An arm lift greatly improves the sagging skin of the under-arm area by removing excess skin and fat, and tightening and smoothing the tissue. The skin then conforms to the new shape of the arm.
Surgical details for an arm lift
If Dr. Craft is performing an arm lift on its own, it is done under general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. An arm lift takes 2 to 4 hours to complete.
Dr. Craft will make an incision under the arm to hide the scar as much as possible. The incision will run the length of the elbow to the armpit.
From the incision, Dr. Craft will remove excess skin and fat. He will also smooth and tighten the underlying tissue. After this, the incision will be closed with sutures.
