Brachioplasty in Paris 7

Arm lift surgeon in Paris

Loose, flabby arms are a source of embarrassment and often discourage people from showing them off. After a certain age or after significant weight loss, the skin relaxes and, despite intense sporting activity, the muscle mass is not enough to ‘fill in’ this excess.

In fact, the inner arm is quite thin and sensitive to changes in weight and ageing, creating more or less sagging. This sagging effect is amplified by the remaining excess fat, which makes the arm even heavier and more deformed. This sagging can be a source of complexes that have an impact on everyday life, and wearing a dress, swimming costume, t-shirt or any other garment that shows the arms is avoided in favour of more covering clothing.

An arm lift in Paris or brachioplasty can correct this excess skin. The aim is to remove the excess skin and fat from the inside of the arm, to restore a harmonious, slimmer appearance.

What does an arm lift in Paris involve?

The aim of an arm lift or brachioplasty in Paris is to reduce the volume of fatty tissue on the inner arm and to remove excess skin. It also allows the skin to be re-draped in order to restore tension to this area and thus restore a shapely and harmonious shape to the arms.

Arm lifts in Paris make it possible to reduce the circumference of the arms, tighten the skin and thus obtain arms that are perfectly proportioned to the figure and not flabby.

Brachioplasty or arm lifts in Paris are performed in the following cases:

For patients whose skin has suffered the effects of time (natural ageing of the skin)
For patients who have experienced significant weight changes (rapid weight loss following obesity surgery, major dieting or pregnancy).

The aim of an arm lift in Paris 7

In all cases, only brachioplasty can correct excess skin on the arms. In fact, liposuction of the arms alone is not enough to correct the ‘flabby’ effect of the arms, as it is the draping of the skin that will really make it possible to firm up the arms. It should also be noted that weight stability (both before and after the operation) is a guarantee of lasting results over time.

Brachioplasty or arm lifts in Paris are performed in two stages:

First, a drastic liposuction is carried out to remove excess skin.
Next, the skin is lifted through an incision along the inside of the arm.
The operation is performed on an outpatient basis or during a short hospital stay (1 night), under general anaesthetic.

How do I prepare for an arm lift in Paris 7?

Two to three consultations are necessary to define a surgical plan in collaboration with the patient. This is a privileged opportunity to discuss the problems encountered by the patient and to understand his or her expectations in terms of results.

The consultation also provides an opportunity to analyse the patient’s body to ensure that this procedure is indicated for their specific case, and if necessary whether it should be accompanied by liposuction or any other complementary procedure, or whether they have any contraindications to this procedure.

Finally, the consultation provides an opportunity to explain to the patient how the operation will be carried out, to take photographs so that simulations can be made of the results of the operation to match the patient’s expectations as closely as possible, and also to give recommendations to be followed before and/or after the operation, including stopping smoking one month before and after the operation (and other medical treatments such as anticoagulants and aspirin), or temporarily suspending certain sporting activities.

What are the after-effects of a brachioplasty or arm lift?

The result is immediate: the arms are slimmer and firmer as soon as you leave the operating theatre.

Swelling and bruising of varying degrees appear following the operation. The bruising disappears within one to two weeks. The oedema disappears rapidly in the first few weeks, but the final result will not be obtained until one year after the operation. Pain is moderate.

The patient and/or a qualified nurse will wash the scars daily. Healing is achieved in three weeks. A support waistcoat must be worn for 4 weeks.

Rest for one to two weeks is recommended. Sport is not recommended for 1 to 2 months.

What are the risks of a brachioplasty or arm lift in Paris?

As with any surgical procedure, complications such as infection, anaesthesia or haematoma may occur. These are not specific to this operation but are common to all surgery performed under general anaesthetic.

What is the cost of a brachioplasty or arm lift in Paris?

The procedure may be covered by the Assurance Maladie and your mutual insurance company, subject to prior agreement issued by the Assurance Maladie’s medical officer. Coverage will depend on the extent of excess skin and is also possible in cases of massive weight loss.

Frequently asked questions

When is the result of the operation visible?

The result of the operation is visible as soon as you leave the operating theatre. It will become more definitive once the oedema has disappeared, i.e. 2 to 3 months after the operation, depending on the patient.

Is the result of the brachioplasty/arm lift in Paris long-lasting?

The result of the operation is long-lasting, even if it is inevitably affected by the natural effects of time and gravity. Apart from this, it can only be altered by rapid significant weight changes, which should therefore be avoided. It is for this reason that, at the time of the consultation, the patient should have a stable weight.
