Arm Lift in Troy, Michigan
An arm lift removes loose, hanging skin and excess fat from the upper arm, restoring a firmer, more toned contour from the elbow to the armpit.
Loose upper-arm skin is most common after major weight loss or with age, and it does not respond to exercise because the issue is excess skin rather than muscle tone. An arm lift removes that skin and tightens the underlying tissue.
The incision is usually placed along the inner arm where it is least visible, and it can often be combined with liposuction when there is fat as well as loose skin. Dr. Qasawa will talk through the scar trade-off honestly at consultation.
Are you a good candidate?
- Loose, hanging skin on the upper arms
- Arms that stay heavy despite weight loss
- Self-consciousness with sleeveless clothing
The only way to know for sure is a consultation. Dr. Qasawa will review your goals and health and give you honest guidance. Request a consultation.
Body questions
What is the difference between a tummy tuck and liposuction?
Liposuction removes stubborn fat but does not tighten skin or repair muscles. A tummy tuck removes excess skin and repairs separated abdominal muscles. Many patients get the most complete result by combining both.
How much does a tummy tuck cost in Michigan?
Cost depends on how extensive the surgery is, the anesthesia, and whether procedures are combined. Dr. Qasawa gives you a detailed, personalized quote at your consultation, along with information on financing options.
When can I have a mommy makeover after having children?
Most surgeons suggest waiting until you are done having children and are several months past breastfeeding, at a stable weight. That protects both your health and how long your results last.
Is liposuction permanent?
Yes. The fat cells removed during liposuction do not come back. Keeping a stable weight preserves your results, since the fat cells that remain elsewhere can still grow with weight gain.
