Arm lift in Switzerland - Removing sagging skin on the inner side
With age or after significant weight loss, the skin on the inner arms can become flabby, giving an unattractive, distended appearance. A brachial lift, or arm lift, removes excess skin and fat, restoring a firmer, more toned and harmonious appearance.
This procedure is often considered as part of a post-slimming body contouring or body rejuvenation program.
Consultation and personalized treatment plan
During your initial consultation, Dr. Mehdi-Sébastien BECK will evaluate:
- The degree of skin laxity,
- The amount of localized fat,
- The elasticity of the remaining skin.
He will then propose a customized surgical plan, including if necessary associated liposuction, and discuss with you the most suitable type of incision.
At the end of the meeting, you will receive a detailed information sheet and a clear, personalized quote.
Procedure
Arm lifts are performed under general anesthesia, either on an outpatient basis (same-day discharge) or with a short hospital stay, depending on the case.
The intervention consists of :
- Vacuum up excess grease (if necessary),
- Remove excess skin,
- Redrape and tighten remaining tissue for a natural, symmetrical result.
Post-operative recovery
A follow-up appointment is scheduled within 48 hours of the operation. Follow-up is generally straightforward:
- Ecchymosis (bruising) and edema (swelling) appear in the first few days,
- These side effects generally disappear within 10 to 20 days.
Dr. Mehdi-Sébastien BECK will suggest treatments to optimize healing, according to your needs: specialized massages, medical laser, or intradermal injections.
