Arm Lift Surgery in Wilmington, NC

Arm lift surgery, also known as brachioplasty, is a plastic surgery procedure designed to reshape the upper arms by removing excess skin and fat. This surgery is particularly beneficial for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss, aging, or genetics that have resulted in sagging skin on their arms. If you're looking for an arm lift in Wilmington, NC, this procedure can help restore a more toned and youthful appearance.

During the arm lift procedure, plastic surgeon Dr. Anthony Azzolini will typically begin with liposuction to remove unwanted fat from the arms. Following this, excess skin is trimmed away, and the remaining skin is tightened to create a smoother contour. 

The type of arm lift will depend on your specific needs and the amount of excess skin present. Scars are often placed along the inner arm, extending from the elbow to the armpit, but Dr. Azzolini will discuss the most appropriate type of arm lift for you during your consultation.

Recovery from an arm lift usually involves a downtime of about 1-2 weeks, during which patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting. Compression garments may be used to help minimize swelling and support the healing process. While some improvements can be seen immediately, the results will typically develop over the course of 12 months as swelling subsides.
