How is the procedure performed?
Anaesthesia
The procedure starts with administering anaesthesia, either general or local with sedation for patient comfort and safety throughout the surgery.
Skin and Fat Removal
The surgeon makes an incision along the inner or back side of the upper arm, then removes excess skin and fat to create a smoother, more contoured appearance.
Incision Closure
After reshaping, the surgeon carefully closes the incisions with sutures, using techniques to reduce visible scarring and promote healing.
What is the Recovery like?
- Swelling and bruising are common and typically subside within a few weeks.
- Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for several weeks post-surgery.
- Stitches are usually removed or dissolve within 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the technique used.
- Final results become visible as swelling decreases, generally within a few months after the procedure.
