Arm lifting
Many women may suffer from an uneven distribution of fat in the body and the resulting inconsistent appearance, as many of them suffer from a large accumulation of fat in the arms, and even those who underwent bariatric surgeries may suffer from disproportionate weight loss and accumulation of fat in the arms.
It is a cosmetic surgical procedure that works to get rid of the accumulation of fat in the arms that is disproportionate to the shape of the body, as body fat is difficult to get rid of, so the surgeons in the Excellage Clinic work by cutting the skin in the arms, liposuction, re-stitching the wound, and obtaining a lift for the arms.
Candidates for arm lift
This procedure is suitable for people who may suffer from an inconsistent accumulation of fat in the back of the arms, or people who have undergone bariatric surgeries and lost a lot of weight but without losing the required weight from the arms, or who have an inconsistent and sagging appearance of the skin in this area.
Reasons for the accumulation of fat in the arms
The accumulation occurs on the back of the arms for a number of reasons, including those directly related to body fat, and others that go beyond it to other reasons, including:
- Changes in skin elasticity that occur with age.
- Losing a lot of weight with or without bariatric surgery while maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
- The presence of certain genetic factors that cause sagging skin.
