Procedure: How is an arm lift surgery performed?
For arm lift in Morocco, the anaesthesia is always general. The duration of the
operation might vary from one and a half hours to 2 hours. In some cases, the
required hospitalization maybe 24 hours (with one night of hospitalization) if
deemed necessary by the plastic surgeon.
It is important to know that there are three arm lift techniques. Each technique
is adapted to each case. Different techniques have been described. The location
of the scar and its length will depend on the extent of the skin to be
corrected.

Arms lift with a horizontal incision in the armpit.
These are rare cases where excess skin is minor. The removal of excess skin is then done by a small incision scar hidden in a natural fold of the armpit.
"Classic" arm lift with a longitudinal incision on the inner side of the arm
This is the most commonly performed arm lift. The excess skin is removed in the longitudinal and transverse axis of the inner face of the arms.
The combined arm lifts.
This arm lift is reserved for patients with very damaged arms and combines the two-incision scars seen previously (The scar then has the shape of an "L" or a "T.").
Recovery: What to expect after an arm lift procedure?
After arm lift in Morocco, you’ll probably need to rest for one week.
Going back to work is different for each case depending on the occupation of the
patient.
The patient will have to wear a compressive garment for 3 weeks so that the
treated areas heal as quickly as possible. Mild to moderate pain is reduced by
taking simple painkillers. Bruises (blue) are present and will fade after about
ten days. Anticoagulants are prescribed for 15 days. The resumption of physical
activities is possible after one and a half months.
Results: what changes will I see after an arm lift surgery?
The result of arm lift in Morocco begins to be seen after 15 days, but it will take 3
months
for it to be final until the tissues soften and the edema due to the operation is gone.
You need to be patient for about 6 to 12 months to allow your incisions to heal and get the
definitive results that will last for a long time.
In most cases, there is a good correction of the sagging skin which significantly improves
the morphology of the arm. The improvement on the functional level is also very clear
especially in the case of lifting with the longitudinal incision.
Scars are usually visible mainly with regard to the longitudinal technique on the internal
arm which is not hidden in a natural fold and not concealable by short sleeves.
