We removed 1,650 cc of purified fat and excised approximately 9 × 11 cm of excess skin.

During the period of postoperative fibrosis, the thread lift acted as reinforcement, helping to minimize skin laxity and maintain a clean, defined arm contour.

For severe skin laxity, radiofrequency devices (RF) or thread lifting alone are not sufficient.

In such cases, an excisional arm lift becomes an important and reliable option to achieve a smooth, firm upper-arm silhouette.

Risks include: contour irregularities, pigmentation changes, and scarring.
