Arm Tuck: Procedure, Recovery & Benefits
What is an Arm Tuck?
An arm tuck is a surgical procedure that removes loose, sagging skin and excess fat from the upper arms, providing a more toned and contoured appearance. This procedure is ideal for individuals who struggle with “bat wings” or excess skin that does not improve with diet and exercise alone.
Types of Arm Tuck Procedures
At Fortmax Clinic, we provide customized arm tuck procedures based on individual needs:
1. Traditional Arm Lift
This technique involves an incision along the inner arm to remove excess skin and fat, providing a smoother and firmer appearance. It is suitable for individuals with moderate to severe sagging.
2. Mini Arm Lift
A less invasive option for those with mild skin laxity, this procedure involves smaller incisions, typically near the armpit, to provide subtle yet effective contouring.
3. Extended Arm Lift
For individuals with extensive skin sagging extending to the sides of the chest, this technique removes a larger amount of skin and fat to achieve comprehensive arm reshaping.
4. Liposuction-Assisted Arm Lift
This technique combines liposuction with skin tightening to remove stubborn fat deposits and enhance definition while maintaining minimal scarring.
