Am I a good candidate for an arm lift in Thailand?

Ideal candidates include people with significant weight loss, sagging upper arm skin due to aging or loose skin not responding to diet and exercise.

What is the difference between a full and mini arm lift?

A full arm lift addresses the entire upper arm from armpit to elbow. A mini arm lift targets only the uppermost section with a shorter incision and smaller scar.

How long does arm lift surgery take?

Most arm lift procedures take 2 to 3 hours depending on the amount of excess skin and surgical technique used.

What are the risks of an arm lift?

Common risks include swelling, bruising and scarring. Rare risks include infection or asymmetry. Choosing a certified plastic surgeon significantly minimizes risks.

What is Arm Lift Surgery?

Arm lift surgery, medically known as brachioplasty, is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms, resulting in a more toned and youthful appearance. This surgery is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing sagging or "bat wings" due to aging, significant weight loss, or genetic factors.

Types of Arm Lift Procedures in Thailand

1. Traditional Arm Lift

Procedure: An incision is made along the inner side of the upper arm, extending from the armpit to the elbow. Excess skin and fat are removed, and the remaining skin is tightened to create a smoother contour.
Ideal For: Individuals with significant sagging skin and fat deposits along the upper arm.
Estimated Cost: Approximately THB 125,000.

2. Mini Arm Lift, also known as Limited Incision

Procedure: A smaller incision is placed near the armpit. This method removes excess skin that is limited to the uppermost part of the arm.
Ideal For: Individuals with mild skin laxity close to the armpit area.
Estimated Cost: Approximately THB 125,000.

3. Extended Arm Lift

Procedure: The incision continues from the upper arm, through the armpit, and along the side of the chest. This technique corrects sagging skin that extends beyond the arm itself.
Ideal For: Individuals with extensive loose skin from the upper arms to the chest, often after significant weight loss.
Estimated Cost: Approximately THB 150,000.

Recovery Process

Hospital Stay: Typically, patients stay in the hospital for 1 to 2 days post-surgery for monitoring and initial recovery.
Initial Recovery: Patients are encouraged to start gentle arm movements soon after surgery to promote circulation.
Return to Activities: Light activities can usually be resumed within 1 to 2 weeks, with more strenuous activities postponed for at least 4 to 6 weeks.
Compression Garments: Wearing compression garments is recommended to reduce swelling and support the healing tissues.
