Surgical upper arm lift at PANTEA® in Munich
Sagging skin can significantly impair physical well-being. An upper arm lift can remove unwanted excess skin and tissue and restore a youthful shape to the arm.
Major weight loss, a lack of exercise or a decrease in skin elasticity can lead to sagging tissue and sagging skin in the upper arms. Women in particular often develop what are known as "little arms", which they find aesthetically unpleasant and often hide under long sleeves. Unfortunately, neither a change in diet nor exercise can permanently eliminate the excess skin.
In particular, many patients with lipoedema suffer from excess skin on the upper arm, which is exacerbated by liposuction and may then require a surgical upper arm lift. Under certain circumstances, this can be performed in a single combined operation.

Why can an upper arm lift improve quality of life?
With age-related sagging of the skin, after massive weight loss or liposuction, the upper arms with their relatively delicate skin often pose a problem.
The psychological burden should not be underestimated: affected women often develop a negative body image early on with little self-confidence. Dissatisfaction with their own body often also leads to insecurities in social interaction.
A surgical upper arm lift reduces excess skin and reshapes the contours of the upper arms.
A surgical upper arm lift results in fine scars on the inside of the upper arms, which - depending on the findings - extend from the armpit to the elbow.
Our most important goal in a successful upper arm lift is not only to create an aesthetically beautiful, firm and more youthful upper arm, but also to keep scarring as minimal and inconspicuous as possible by using the latest techniques.
Treatment procedure for an upper arm lift at PANTEA® in Munich
Medical treatment comprises several steps: from diagnosis through to completion of treatment.
1.
The first step at PANTEA® is a detailed consultation. Our doctors will take time for you, answer your questions and carry out a photo documentation, ultrasound and physical examination.
2.
Depending on the findings, we will work with you to determine an individual treatment plan and discuss all the options for optimally implementing your desired treatment.
3.
Together with our patients, we decide on the most suitable surgical method for an upper arm lift during the consultation.
4.
The day before the operation you should drink enough fluids and get enough sleep so that you can have the operation in a healthy and rested state.
5.
On the day of the upper arm lift operation, you should arrive at the clinic on an empty stomach, i.e. you should not eat anything for at least 6 hours before the operation and not drink anything for at least 2 hours before the operation.
6.
After the operation, our patients receive a "post-op kit". This contains useful aids, as well as hints and tips for optimal behavior during the healing phase and afterwards, as well as high-quality nutritional supplements and nutriceuticals to support the healing phase and the sustainable transition to a healthy and balanced diet.
Of course, we are always available to answer our patients' questions after the operation.
7.
We recommend that you take approx. 1 to 2 weeks off after the operation. Aftercare includes wearing a compression bra and the "Stuttgart belt" day and night for 2 weeks. After 6-8 weeks you may resume light sports activities.
8.
Follow-up appointments are made after the operation in consultation with the surgeon, depending on the healing process. In addition, follow-up appointments can of course be arranged at any time in the event of uncertainties or questions after the operation.
9.
We take a holistic approach at PANTEA® and are therefore not only there for you before and during the operation, but are of course also at your side after the upper arm lift.

Questions about the surgical upper arm lift
An upper arm lift can be performed on an adult of any age. A stable desired weight should have been achieved before an upper arm lift.
The team of doctors at PANTEA® Private Practice for Plastic & Aesthetic Surgery will be happy to advise you in a personal consultation and explain the details of an upper arm lift.
The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia and the patient remains in hospital overnight. Liposuction is often performed first in the skin tightening area and the excess skin is then removed. After the operation, the contour of the arm is slimmer and smoother, always with the aim of achieving a natural result.
It goes without saying that we provide our patients with close follow-up care in our consultation hours after the procedure. As we use self-dissolving sutures, no suture removal is necessary. We recommend that you take at least 1-2 weeks off work to recover from the procedure. Depending on your professional activity, you may need more time to recover. Compression garments, which we will put on you immediately after the operation, should be worn day and night for 6 weeks. Light sport is possible again after approx. 6 weeks.
An upper arm lift results in a longer scar on the inside of the upper arm. The scar is positioned so that it is not visible when the arms are raised.
Our aim with an upper arm lift is not only to create a tighter and narrower upper arm, but also to minimize scarring by using the latest techniques.
An upper arm lift leads to a significant and lasting improvement in the contour of the upper arm. The excess skin no longer needs to be hidden under long clothing, which leads to a significant improvement in quality of life for many patients.
Any swelling and hematomas that occur will subside on their own after approx. 4 to 6 weeks.
