If you are struggling with upper arm fat, you could consider an arm lift. Brachioplasty or arm lift surgery is an invasive procedure done under general anesthesia and involves large incisions and longer recovery time. Fortunately, today, there are minimally-invasive options like the BodyTite arm lift in NYC which do away with the need for surgery to address upper arm fat. BodyTite provides excellent results – with no incisions, unsightly scars, or long downtime.
The highly efficient FDA-approved BodyTite technology from InMode uses radiofrequency energy to remove unwanted fat, tighten loose tissues and encourage collagen production for improved skin texture. The BodyTite device employs RFAL technology to selectively remove excess fat deposits from the upper arms and allows you to achieve the well-shaped arms you desire without scars and with up to 40% more skin tightening effects than conventional liposuction surgery. However, though the procedure is minimally-invasive, it is very important to follow all the pre-operative instructions provided by your plastic surgeons for smooth recovery and good results.
One of the most important things you need to do if you are considering a scarless arm lift is to choose the right surgeon. Make sure that the surgeon you choose has extensive experience in performing the arm lift procedure using BodyTite technology.
Here are the things you need to do to prepare for a scarless arm lift:
- Inform your plastic surgeon about your present and past medical conditions.
- Discuss any surgeries you’ve had and the medications you’re taking or have taken recently, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements.
- Get the physical examination as instructed by your surgeon.
- Avoid smoking a few weeks before and after the procedure as it can interfere with the efficacy of the treatment, the healing process, and outcomes.
- Maintain a positive outlook and realistic expectations.
- Make sure you understand the benefits and risks of the procedure.
- View “before and after” photos of patients who underwent BodyTite scarless arm lift at the surgeon’s practice. This will give you an idea about the surgeon’s skill and the extent of changes that the procedure can bring about.
During the initial consultation with your plastic surgeon, clear all your doubts about the steps you need to take during the pre- and post-operative phase and recovery. Also, check online sources such as RealSelf or Plastic Surgery.org websites for reliable advice.
Though it is minimally-invasive, slight swelling and bruising can be expected after the procedure, but these side effects will subside soon. Most patients return to their routine activities shortly after the treatment. One study found that 81% patients returned to work within 1-3 days of the BodyTite procedure. Moreover, the post-operative patient satisfaction surveys held during the study revealed that most patients had minimal or no discomfort and were satisfied with their fat reduction and skin tightening results.
