Brachioplasty in Islamabad is an arm lift process that is very effective and a permanent solution to get rid of excess fat and skin from the upper arms. In certain aging or due to major weight changes, the skin starts saggy on the body, especially the arms, and gives you those bat wings. To get rid of the arm lift in Islamabad, a surgical procedure is performed, which helps in the permanent elimination of fat, tissues, and excess skin, giving you toned arms, but the question mostly asked about this surgery is: How much skin is removed during an arm lift?
Our experts at Royal Cosmetic Surgery in Islamabad say regarding this question that the amount that is going to be removed in arm lift surgery varies from person to person. To know what factors determine the amount of fat removal in this process, read the blog below.
What Is an Arm Lift Surgery?
Arm lift in Islamabad is a cosmetic surgical procedure in which excess fat and skin are removed from the upper arm to achieve more toned and structured arms. This surgery is usually opted for by individuals after major weight loss or by those who have aged and whose skin has sagged.
How Much Skin is Removed During an Arm Lift?
The quantity of fat that is eliminated during arm lift surgery does not exist in any particular amount since it is dependent on each individual, their level of sagginess, the type of arm lift surgery employed, the level of fat, and personal ambitions. The precise quantity that should be taken out can also be decided only after a consultation visit to an experienced surgeon, where he will highly analyze your skin type and sagging and will elaborate a particular treatment plan to be applied in the operation.
What Factors Determine the Amount of Skin Removed:
Amount of Sagginess:
The more loose-hanging skin of the upper arms, the more tissues will be cut away to get a smooth, firm result. Minor sagging can be corrected with a minor excision, whereas major looseness of the skin following weight loss may require a larger excision.
Type of Procedure:
The type of procedure that is used, mini arm lift, standard arm lift, or extended arm lift, also influences the amount of skin that is excised. A mini lift targets the inside of the upper arm, whereas the extended lifts target the sagging that goes to the chest or armpit.
Presence of Fat:
In case there is surplus fat, then liposuction can be used along with the arm lift to shape the area and then tighten the skin. The ratio between fat and skin tightening dictates the final amount of tissue that is removed to achieve the best and most natural shape.
Is It Safe and Worth It?
When performed by a highly qualified and experienced surgeon, then the surgery is very much safe and its results are worth the price and wait, but just like any other medical procedure, this too has some risks associated with it, which are:
- Swelling.
- Bruising.
- Scarring .
- Infection.
- Fluid or blood buildup under the skin.
- Poor wound healing, common in smokers and alcohol consumers.
How Long Do Results Last?
With a healthy lifestyle and balanced diet, and exercise, you can get the results for up to decades, but after growing old, the skin sags and the weight fluctuates, and thus the results are not permanent but are long-lasting.
