An arm lift is a surgical procedure in which excess skin and tissue on the upper arms are removed and the contour is tightened. This creates a more harmonious and firmer appearance of the arms. At Aesthetify in Berlin, experienced specialists perform the arm lift using modern, gentle techniques that meet the highest safety standards.
Your options
Depending on individual anatomical and medical circumstances, our experienced doctors in Berlin use various surgical techniques for an arm lift. In all incision techniques, an elongated, pointed-oval piece of skin tissue is removed along the inside of the upper arm. However, the position and number of additional incisions vary:
- T-lift: Here, a further piece of tissue is removed in the armpit area, crossways to the main incision, to create as harmonious a transition as possible. The name originates from the shape of the sutures, which resemble a T after the operation.
- L-lift: This method is very similar to the T-lift. However, the incisions meet in an L-shape here, which improves blood circulation and can therefore speed up healing.
- S-lift: In this variant, a third incision is made near the elbow, resulting in an overall S-shaped scar. This additional incision is necessary when there is a particularly pronounced excess of tissue at the elbow.
What result you can expect
As an upper arm lift generally requires at least one long incision and the removal of large amounts of tissue, scarring usually cannot be completely avoided. However, through skilful incision placement and gentle surgical techniques, this can be reduced to a minimum and will barely be noticeable after some time.
