How is Arm Stretch Surgery Performed?

Arm lift surgery is performed using general anesthesia or local anesthesia technique. This technique is determined together with the surgeon according to the problem and demand of the person. General anesthesia is generally preferred in patients with severe sagging complaints.

If there is excess fat tissue, liposuction is performed and the fat tissue is first removed from the area. Then, the operation is started with a small incision on the inside of the elbow. The skin is stretched and the excess part is removed, and then it is stitched again to create a taut look. A self-melting suture is placed on the incision area. If the problem is not very severe, the incision area can also be made under the armpit. In this way, the trace of the operation is hidden.

After Arm Stretch Surgery

In the first 24 hours after arm lift surgery, the individual is followed up in the hospital service. When it first arrives, a urinary catheter is inserted until the individual walks. After the walk, the probe is removed. Slow, intermittent walks are recommended along the corridor.

In order not to regress the healing, smoking should be completely avoided for the first 24 hours. In addition, in the future, the person should try not to smoke whenever possible. Otherwise, the recovery of tissues may be delayed.

Similarly, alcohol consumption should be avoided for at least 1 week, as it thins the blood, worsens edema, causes water loss in the body, and poses risks such as infection and bleeding.

If the operation was performed under local anesthesia, the individual can be followed for 1 day with the recommendation of the doctor, or if he feels ready, he can be discharged after a few hours of follow-up.

In the first days after the operation, the use of elastic bands on the arms of the individual can provide comfort by providing support.

After the first 2 days, a shower can be taken as the dressing process is completed in general. However, it may be necessary to wait a few more days for actions such as lifting the arms up and washing the hair. Get information from your doctor for the most appropriate timing.
