•  Desire for a more youthful appearance and thinner contour to the Arms.
•  Focusing on flabbiness and extra skin and fat, especially in the upper inner arms.
•  Also related to folds of skin and fat of the upper chest near the Armpit, seen especially when the  Arms are down at the sides.

The Procedure...

•  Anesthesia is usually a very light general and the procedure takes about two hours.
•  There may be no incisions if Liposuction alone is all that is needed.
•  Otherwise the incision may be completely concealed within the Armpit, or down the inside of the  Arm in    an inconspicuous location for a variable length depending on how much skin and where  the excess is.
•  Results may be obtained from Liposuction alone if the skin has good elasticity.
•  If there is excess skin, then incisions are needed to lift the skin, tighten the Arms, remove the excess  fat,    and tighten the Arm ligaments to provide extra internal support.
•  Drains are used for two days. These are soft and comfortable and removed without pain.
•  Dressings and a light compression garment is used for several days.
•  This can be combined with other Plastic Surgical procedures.

The Recovery...

•  You can go home after several hours or can stay overnight.
•  You can shower on the third day after surgery.
•  There is only minimal pain that is mostly gone by the second or third day and easily controlled by  medications.
•  Swelling is mild to moderate and peaks at two to three days then disappears rapidly over the next  three    weeks.
•  Minimal or no bruising is the usual.
•  Some grogginess is present which persists for about a week.
•  You can resume many activities within the first week, and most by at least three weeks.
•  The stitches are removed at seven days.
•  Expect to be off of work for only three to seven days.

The Result...

•  Beautiful, balanced and proportioned contour.
•  More confident and comfortable in clothing, especially sleeveless dresses.
•  Lasts the rest of your life and always looks better than if you didn't do it.
•  Natural and presentable appearance in the first week that just gets better over the next three to six  months.
