What Is An Arm Lift?
As we get older, we often find ourselves frustrated by excess skin hanging down from our arms. At Chirag Mehta MD Plastic Surgery, we offer upper arm lift surgery (also called brachioplasty) as a corrective option for people who cannot seem to tighten and tone the arm with exercise and diet alone. Loose skin from the elbow to the shoulder is very common, particularly for women and men who are advancing in age or have lost weight. An arm lift effectively removes this hanging skin, often known as "bat wings." Dr. Chirag Mehta has years of training and experience when it comes to fat removal and surgical skin tightening and will work with you to develop a treatment plan aimed at giving you tighter, toned arms. To learn more about arm lift surgery and other aesthetic services we offer, schedule your consultation at Chirag Mehta MD Plastic Surgery in Sherman, TX today.
How Do You Perform Arm Lift Surgery?
Upper arm surgery is usually performed at an outpatient center and may be combined with other cosmetic surgeries, depending on your treatment plan and desired results. During your surgery, Dr. Mehta will make an incision and surgically remove excess skin from the elbow up to the armpit. If there are any fatty pockets, he may use liposuction to remove those as well. After the skin is pulled taut, it will be stitched in place. You will have to keep the incisions sanitized, covered, and wrapped with compression garments. As with most surgeries, you can expect some scarring, but Dr. Mehta will make every effort to ensure that any scars are discreet so that you can confidently show off your new arms.
What Are the Benefits of An Arm Lift?
Arm lift surgery at Chirag Mehta MD Plastic Surgery can provide a number of benefits for Sherman, TX men and women who are tired of dealing with saggy or flabby skin when they raise their arms. Some of these benefits are:
- Decreased rubbing, sensitivity, and soreness between the torso and arms
- Good for trouble spots that don't seem to respond to diet or exercise
- Greater body image and less anxiety when choosing clothes
- Creates a tighter look around the arms
Chirag Mehta MD Plastic Surgery Reviews
Another Great Surgery from Dr. Mehta - On my 1 year post-OP appointment with Dr. Mehta for my thighplasty I was so pleased I booked my arm lift that same day. My arm lift was scheduled and performed on 5/5/23 and it went just as smoothly as before. The nurses in the Surgery Center are stellar and I trust they care for me as if I'm family. I even got a pre-surgery hug. LolSurgery was under 3 hours and I was back to normal (not needing any help) after a week. I only took pain pills for 3 days and then only had swelling but it has gone down A LOT since the surgery. Today marks 2 weeks since my arm lift and the incision is healing so well. I bet it is going to be very thin and light as it's looking now plus I'm wearing a rash guard when out during summer to keep them the sun off the incision sites.Once I'm at 1 year post-OP for this surgery I will book a Mommy Makeover with him to get my tummy and breast done. His pricing is higher than other doctors but between the advice he gives, how well the staff treats me, and his work I am not going to select my surgeon on cheapest price. I regret not taking a before picture of my bat wings but they were very droopy.
So far a great thigh lift experience! Set realistic expectations - I am very modest and easily uncomfortable having doctors examining me but never felt that way with Dr. Mehta. I think he shoots it straight and gave me so much information...stuff that I never would've thought of to ask. The procedure was more expensive than I thought it would be but I booked it the same day. I was sure he was the right doctor and would do the very best job to address my issues and set realistic expectations. I love Dr. Mehta and his staff. They are fun, down to Earth, and still professional.Updated on 25 Apr 2022:I have hated my legs for as long as I can remember so I finally made an appointment to see what could be done to address the saggy skin on my upper thighs, the contour irregularities, and the bulky calves. Dr. Mehta examined me and set a plan to normalize my legs. He provided a crescent thighplasty with lipo to the calves to debulk and thighs to contour. I'm only 1 week post-op and couldn't be happier!! Dr. Mehta understood the assignment!!!Updated on 30 May 2022:I love my "new" legs! It has been about a month in which im now pain-free and getting around good again. My incisions are healing, and swelling continues to go down. I've gone to 4-5 lymphatic massages and despite the cost and recovery, I am so thankful for the procedures. I can't believe the vast difference in my calves especially. I go back to see Dr. Mehta in 2 weeks and I think he's going to be pleased too.Updated on 19 May 2023:Thought I would post an update now that my legs are completely healed from surgery. Honestly I couldn't be happier with my results and feel so much mote comfortable in my own skin and especially in shorts. This picture is before surgery and now at 1 year post-OP. On my 1 year checkup, I booked a brachioplasty with the same surgeon to get rid of the bat wings.
