We welcome patients from Union, Morris, and Essex County, New Jersey, who want to restore confidence and comfort in how their arms look and feel. Here’s what you need to know about arm lift and what it can do for you.
Why Upper Arm Skin Sags
Over time, your skin naturally produces less collagen and elastin—the building blocks of skin firmness and tightness. Starting in your early 20s, your body makes about 1.5% less collagen every year. This quickly adds up as you reach your 30s and beyond.
Add in weight fluctuations and sun exposure, both of which can have a major impact on skin elasticity and firmness, and it can, unfortunately, be a recipe for loose, hanging upper arm skin. Genetics can play a role, too.
This problem, which many people call “bat wings,” can leave your upper arms looking looser and less youthful.
In many cases, stretched skin in the upper arms has lost its elasticity and ability to snap back. Even if you’re at a healthy weight, sagging or jiggling skin can remain.
While exercise can tone muscles, it can’t tighten stretched skin. That’s where an arm lift comes in.
What an Arm Lift Can Do for You
In an arm lift, Dr. Bulan removes loose, hanging skin from the upper arms to create a slimmer, toned appearance.
Many patients may need additional fat removal (liposuction,) which Dr. Bulan can add to your arm lift to create optimal results.
Am arm lift can:
- Improves arm definition and shape
- Improve physical comfort
- Help you feel more confident in short sleeves and sleeveless clothing
- Help you fit some clothing better
This procedure can be especially helpful after weight loss or when aging causes skin laxity that doesn’t respond to workouts.
