As individuals age, certain body parts begin sagging because of the loss of muscle tone and skin elasticity. However, just because this is a normal part of the aging process does not mean that individuals need to put up with this it. Instead, certain cosmetic procedures, such as Temecula Arm Lifts, can tighten and smooth the tissues to create a younger looking body.
Preparing for Temecula Arm Lift Procedures
The backside of the upper arms is particularly prone to sagging skin because the triceps are very difficult to tone and because this is a classic place for fat deposits. A Temecula arm lift can quickly clear up this problem by tightening the skin, removing excess fat and smoothing underlying tissues in the upper arms, leaving individuals with no upper arm jiggle. Arm lifts are appropriate for individuals who have been unable to correct the shape of their upper arms through exercise alone and who feel a loss of confidence in their bodies because of this problem.
Temecula arm lifts are done as general surgery procedures. Dr. Tavoussi performs them at the nearby Pacifica Outpatient Surgery Center, a center known for its commitment to safety and security. The procedure will be done under general anesthesia, but patients can be sent home the same day. Incisions are generally made on the underarms, but the length of the incision will be adjusted based on the extent of the procedure to be performed. Some patients will have very small incisions in their armpits while others will have longer incisions on their inner arms. Dr. Tavoussi will discuss his plan with patients during their pre-surgery consultations. Most incisions heal quite nicely and are difficult to see once healing is complete. If Dr. Tavoussi uses sutures to close the incisions, he will remove them during an office appointment one to two weeks later.
Temecula Arm Lifts Results & Recovery
Temecula arm lift results are easy to see immediately following the surgery although some swelling may get in the way of seeing the complete results for the first week or two. Patients may experience some bruising, redness and pain around the incision sites and may be prescribed a medication to deal with pain at home. Patients who keep up with a regular fitness regime following the procedure can expect to have long-lasting results. While a Temecula arm lift does not stop the aging process, it is considered to be a permanent procedure, leaving individuals with toned and shapely arms.
