Brachioplasty - Armlift


Brachioplasty - Armlift

As collagen production slows as aging progresses, the skin sags and makes your skin less elastic than at younger age. Another cause of sagging, especially under your arms is excessive weight gain or rapid weight loss.

An armlift is a surgical procedure to improve the appearance of the lower part of your upper arms. The length and shape of the incisions depend on how much skin is removed. After making the incisions , Dr Mak will tighten your tissues and muscles and secure them with stiches. He may also use liposuction to remove away the excess fat. 

Anaesthetic - General

Length of stay - 5 nights 

Length of operation - 1-2 hours

Return to normal life - 2 weeks


Before your treatments you might also need to:

Stop smoking. Smoking decreases blood flow in the skin and can slow the healing process. If you smoke , Dr Mak will recommend that you stop smoking before surgery and during recovery.

Avoid certain medications. You will likely need to avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, blood tinners and herbal supplements, which can increase bleeding.


As you begin your journey toward considering plastic surgery and other cosmetic enhancements , my goal as your plastic surgeon is to provide you the highest quality of care throughout the entire process.
