Benefits of an Arm Lift
Arm Contour
Removing loose and drooping skin tightens the look and feel of your arms for a younger appearance.
Improved Health
Extra skin folds can create friction and cause irritation. Remove the excess skin, and the rashes will follow.
Self Reward
Have you reached a weight loss milestone that is causing the appearance of sagging upper arm skin? Congratulations on your achievement! Celebrate your new look with an arm lift to show off your success.
Consultation
Our process begins with a personal consultation led by one of our expert Younique providers. This one-on-one meeting is the perfect time to discuss your concerns, goals for treatment, and medical history. If your provider recommends an arm lift in Santa Monica, we can schedule your surgery and give you all the pre-surgery preparation details.
Procedure
Your Younique surgeons start your surgery with a general anesthetic. During your 2 to 4 hour brachioplasty procedure, we make an incision from the elbow to the armpit or in some cases, to the side of the chest. Your surgeon tightens your upper arm muscles and removes the extra skin and fat, leaving you with a firmer, contoured upper arm.
We provide either absorbable sutures or stitches (removed after a week or so) to close the incision.
Recovery
You’ll need to arrange transportation to and from our surgery center. You won’t be able to drive a car for up to 10 days following your surgery.
We cover your closed incision with a necessary amount of dressings which need to be changed frequently. Additionally, you’ll wear a special compression garment that helps to minimize any discomfort and swelling.
Our arm lift patients typically return to regular activities 2 to 3 weeks following surgery. We advise against heavy lifting for 2 to 6 weeks.
Build Your Custom Treatment Plan
The path for your Younique journey begins with this first step.
Who makes an ideal candidate for brachioplasty in Los Angeles?
The best candidate for this kind of surgery as healthy, free of bleeding or healing conditions, are non-smokers, and are close to their ideal weight.
With an arm lift specifically, you’re a good fit for surgery if:
- Genetics causes your arms to sag regardless of healthy lifestyle habits.
- Aging has caused skin laxity, making your upper arms sag and droop.
- You’ve lost weight, creating excess, loose skin where the weight once was.
