You have worked hard to get your body back into shape; you are losing weight, strength training, and eating healthily. It can be especially frustrating when areas of your body, such as your upper arms, do not reflect the work you have done to look your best. If you feel this way, you are not alone. Sagging skin and lack of tone on the upper arms is something many people struggle with, especially after losing weight.
Fortunately, an arm lift in Katy can help. This targeted body sculpting procedure removes excess skin and residual fat to give you firmer, more sculpted upper arms. You are so close to looking your very best. Our board-certified plastic surgeon can help you with that final step in your overall transformation.
Loose and sagging skin, a typical consequence of aging or significant weight loss, does not typically respond to diet and exercise. This can be extremely frustrating if you have worked hard to lose weight. An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a way to honor the efforts you have made throughout your weight loss journey. Even if you regularly do weight training to build muscle, it can be demoralizing to see excess skin or fat hiding your results. Brachioplasty reveals the tone and definition of your upper arms.
An arm lift can also improve overall comfort. Sagging skin can rub against clothing with regular movement and cause chafing. This can cause pain and discomfort and may keep you from engaging in activities. An arm lift can remove the excess skin that causes your discomfort and allow you to enjoy activities without chafing and irritation.
The beauty of upper arm reduction and similar surgical procedures in Katy is that the results are lasting. Once the surgeon removes the sagging skin, it is gone for good. You can expect to enjoy more shapely, fit arms for years to come.
You will begin with a complimentary consultation at our office. You can learn about whether an arm lift is right for you and get answers to all your questions. The surgery typically occurs under general anesthesia and takes about two to three hours, depending on your needs and personal preferences. An arm lift is an outpatient procedure, which means you can return home the same day in the care of someone who can keep an eye on you for that first night.
During the recovery period, we encourage you to wear compression garments to minimize swelling and support the formation of your arm’s new shape. You can expect some mild discomfort in the first few days after surgery, which you can generally control with pain medication. While you can return to work in Katy within a week of the arm reshaping procedure, we recommend being cautious for several weeks until you completely heal.
You have put much effort into looking and feeling your best and have come a long way in reaching your ideal weight. Loose or sagging skin can be disheartening and can keep you from enjoying the body that you have worked so hard for.
However, you have options for addressing this problem. An arm lift in Katy can help reveal the toned, defined arms that are hiding under your skin.
