Results vary by patient, but most Fayetteville providers report 6 to 18 months of sustained benefit from a full Arm Lift series.
Maintenance schedules vary. Most Fayetteville providers recommend periodic refresh sessions every 6 to 12 months once optimal results are achieved.
Pinch the loose skin on the inner upper arm. If it is a thin fold that hangs and you can gather it in your hand, only surgery removes it; tightening devices firm mild laxity and will not shrink a hanging fold. If the skin is loose but still sits against the arm, radio-frequency tightening or a fat treatment may be enough. A surgeon will show you which by lifting the skin and demonstrating what removal would achieve.
For a full arm lift the incision runs along the inner arm from the armpit toward the elbow, placed so it faces the body and is hidden with arms at rest. For milder laxity a short incision confined to the armpit may suffice. The scar fades over one to two years and is the main trade-off of the procedure; most patients who have it say the contour was worth the line.
Compression sleeves for several weeks, arms kept relatively still and elevated for the first days, desk work at one to two weeks, and lifting or exercise at about six weeks. Swelling settles over a few months. The result is permanent for the skin removed, provided weight stays stable.
Typically $5,000 to $10,000 for both arms including surgeon, anesthesia, and facility, higher when combined with liposuction or other body contouring. Not covered by insurance for cosmetic reasons.
