How Long Does Arm Lift Surgery Take?
Plastic surgery can take anywhere from thirty minutes to several hours depending on the operation and the extent of it. Body contouring surgeries, especially those that remove a large amount of skin, are often some of the lengthier surgeries. A few examples include tummy tuck surgery and a lower body lift which can both take several hours. But, how long does arm lift surgery take?
Arm lift surgery is a surgery that removes extra skin that collects along the arms, primarily the upper arm. This can happen with weight loss, age, and many other factors. While liposuction is sometimes part of it to remove stubborn fat deposits, the procedure is mainly designed for skin removal.
Depending on the extent, an arm lift surgery can take as little as two hours and up to four. In general, patients can expect a mid-length surgery if only undergoing an arm lift surgery. Once Dr. Sessa evaluates the amount of extra skin you have, he can provide a more accurate estimate of the surgical time necessary.
