What is an invisible arm lift?
Invisible arm lift surgery, also referred to as 
Brachioplasty, is a procedure to tighten and remove loose 
skin on the upper arms. This happens because of rapid 
weight fluctuations, the natural ageing process and 
genetics. 

This procedure offers effective results and is ideal for 
individuals who have recently lost significant weight, 
have less elastic skin due to the natural ageing process, 
or have simply aged but have constantly maintained the 
ideal weight. 
This invisible arm lift surgery changes the appearance of the 
flabby and sagging upper arms and provides them with a fuller 
and younger-looking look. This surgery also plays a crucial role in 
smoothening the underlying supportive tissue, making the arms 
appear younger.

However, it is not a substitute for weight loss. The main aim of 
invisible arm lift surgery is to remove loose and excess skin 
from the upper arms and thus improve how the upper arms look.

There are several factors that the plastic surgeon has to evaluate 
before indicating an invisible arm lift. These mainly include diet, 
age, obesity, smoking habits and living conditions.
Before starting the procedure, there are several factors that 
need to be considered. 

First, the patient should discuss the complete medical history. 

A careful and sensitive examination is also conducted. All the 
realistic expectations of the surgery are communicated well with 
the patient. Your surgeon may take photographs before and 
after the procedure to evaluate results better. 

You may be asked to stop smoking or using tobacco in any other 
form, as smoking reduces the blood flow and prolongs the 
healing process. This leads to a delayed recovery after the 
surgery.
Further, the risks of postoperative complications are higher if the 
patient does not follow the surgeon’s instructions. Before the 
surgery, the patient is advised to stop taking certain medications 
such as aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and other herbal medicines. 
These potentially present the risk of bleeding complications and 
might result in some other life-threatening effects.

The traditional arm lift surgery is done under general aneesthesia. 
Excess skin is removed through large incisions, and the remaining 
skin is stitched back together. 

This surgical procedure is quite lengthy, and the healing process is 
also slow, involving cutting the excess fatty tissue. The long arm scar 
takes a much longer time to heal, and with complete recovery, it may 
take almost 6 months. To speed up the recovery process, painkillers 
and physical therapy are also recommended by the surgeons. 
Traditional arm lift surgeries are cheaper and offer 
monetary advantages, but in the long run, they are 
expensive when considered, along with the opportunity 
cost value perspective and alternative treatments. 
Such invasive arm lift procedures require up to six 
months of recovery and constant follow-ups.

Arm lifts are becoming an increasingly popular 
procedure due to the many benefits they offer. If you 
are unhappy with your arms, or simply want to improve 
their appearance, an arm lift may be right for you.
