If you want to know more about our services and whether this is right for you, we are ready to speak with you!

What Arm Lift Surgery Does

Sagging skin that droops below the upper arms can create an appearance that is unflattering. But fortunately, this problem can be effectively addressed through a surgical procedure called brachioplasty, or otherwise called an arm lift. The underarms can be tightened and reshaped by removing excess fat and skin, resulting in a more toned contour. Many patients find that they finally have the confidence to wear tank tops and sleeveless shirts.

Diet and exercise may only be able to correct so much of the excess skin. Genetics, age, and weight loss can stretch the skin and cause sagginess. People of all body shapes and sizes may want arm lift surgery. We can help you achieve a more refined look through an arm lift procedure. To know if you are a good candidate, contact us today to learn more. You may seek San Jose arm lift surgery for any of the following reasons:

  • To obtain a slimmer arm contour
  • To treat excess skin after immense weight loss
  • To reverse the natural aging process
  • To feel more comfortable and confident

Why You Need To Rest

After the procedure is complete, your recovery begins in the comfort of your home. You may have some bruising and swelling for the initial few days after surgery, but this is normal and subsides on its own. Over-flexion and over-extension should be avoided for several weeks to allow proper healing. The anatomy of every patient is individual, so results and recovery time may vary. Generally, you can notice visible results right after the surgery and once swelling has gone away, you will observe the lasting results of your procedure for many years.
