ARM LIFT & TIGHTENING

WATCH NOW

WHAT IS AN ARM LIFT AND TIGHTENING PROCEDURE?

An arm lift is a surgical procedure that simultaneously reduces sagging skin on the arms, removes fat pockets, tightens and smooths the supportive tissue, and reshapes and contours the upper arm. 

Dr. Jason Emer in Beverly Hills uses innovative combination treatments for optimal results. His skilled West Hollywood plastic surgeons’ surgical intervention (such as brachioplasty) is complemented by nonsurgical arm sculpting techniques, including hi-definition liposuction; internal “shrink wrap” skin tightening, which uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to heat the undersurface of the skin; external RF skin tightening devices; non-invasive Coolsculpting; and arm threading. In combination, these procedures can lift and tighten the arms, resulting in contoured, athletic arms, a smaller incision, and reduced downtime.

WHAT IS AN ARM LIFT AND TIGHTENING PROCEDURE?

A multi-treatment procedure popular with moms and women of all kinds, the mommy makeover is a patient-tailored, head-to-toe service that traditionally includes breast surgery (either lifting, fat grafting, reduction, or augmentation), abdominoplasty (a full or mini tummy tuck in the torso area), and vaginal rejuvenation (typically involving skin removal and internal tightening).

A longtime specialty of Dr. Jason Emer in Beverly Hills, a renowned body sculpting and contouring authority, the mommy makeover is an ideal procedure or women looking either for dramatic improvements in their shape and size or a complete transformation with contouring, sculpting and enhanced definition.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM RECOVERY?

The normal timeline for arm lift recovery entails resting for about a week before resuming your normal schedule. You may be asked to wear a special compression garment that helps minimize post-operative swelling and helps to keep your new shape intact. Any non-dissolving sutures will be removed within one week. 

You should avoid heavy lifting and vigorous exercise for at least 2 weeks after surgery. You will receive prescriptions for painkillers to help offset any discomfort or soreness. You should be able to notice your improved contours immediately, although some minor swelling may obscure you final result for a few weeks.
