TREATMENT
Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)
Arm lift procedures, also known as brachioplasty, help you achieve smoother and more toned upper arms. This surgery is designed to remove excess skin and fat, resulting in a firmer and more youthful appearance. Our experienced surgeons use advanced techniques to ensure natural-looking results that enhance your body’s overall shape.
How does an Arm Lift work?
An arm lift, or brachioplasty, involves removing excess skin and fat from the upper arms to improve their appearance. During the procedure, incisions are made along the inside or back of the arms, sometimes extending from the underarm to the elbow. Excess skin and fat are removed, and the remaining skin is tightened and sutured in place. Liposuction may also be used to enhance the results. The incisions are placed strategically to minimise visible scarring, and the procedure is typically performed under general anaesthesia.
What to expect during an Arm Lift in Nairobi?
At Avané Clinic in Nairobi, the arm lift procedure begins with a consultation to discuss your goals and determine the best surgical approach. The surgery is performed under general anaesthesia and usually takes about 1 to 3 hours, depending on the extent of the lift. After the surgery, you will need to wear compression garments to support the new contours of your arms and reduce swelling. Mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising are common and will subside within a few weeks. Detailed aftercare instructions will be provided to ensure optimal healing and results. Most patients can return to work within 1 to 2 weeks, with full results visible after a few months.
