Forearm Lift

A forearm lift is a procedure used to tighten and shape the skin on the forearms. It is the process of eliminating extra skin and fat, which can often be the consequence of aging, drastic weight loss, or lipedema. The objective of the procedure is to give patients a smoother, firmer appearance by defining and toning their arms. For those with drooping skin on their forearms due to severe weight loss, this technique is especially beneficial. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Azouz helps patients reach their aesthetic objectives with sophisticated body reshaping operations, including forearm lifts.

How is a forearm lift performed?

To begin the forearm lift procedure, the skin in the area that will be removed is usually marked. Depending on how much repair is needed, Dr. Azouz may make an incision along the inside or rear of the forearm. The tissues underneath are tightened, and extra skin is meticulously removed. Liposuction is an additional option to reduce fat deposits in the area. Afterward, the skin is tightened, and the incisions are closed with stitches. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Azouz always tries to camouflage the incision line within the natural creases of the skin for minimal scarring.

Anesthesia for Surgery

Dr. Azouz administers local and sedative anesthesia during a forearm lift. By using local and sedation anesthesia, Dr. Azouz has discovered that his patients recover more quickly and experience less nausea.

Risks of Surgery

With any surgery, the risks of a forearm lift include infection, asymmetry, and bleeding. Dr. Azouz will provide a thorough aftercare plan to promote appropriate recovery and will take every measure to reduce these risks.

Recovery after a Forearm Lift Surgery

Following a forearm lift, patients can anticipate some temporary soreness, bruising, and swelling. Dr. Azouz will recommend compression garments to reduce swelling and support the arms. Patients can typically return to light duties within a week and resume full activities in 4 to 6 weeks. During the early stages of recovery, it is key to refrain from heavy lifting and vigorous arm motions.

Surgeries that can be Combined

Combining a forearm lift with other cosmetic treatments can improve body contouring overall. In addition to a forearm lift, common operations include:
