Despite not receiving the "first glance," the arms play an important role in the beauty of the body.
Their elongated lines frame the body and adorn the silhouette. Slim and toned arms with fine, rounded
muscles are not only a symbol of sensuality and femininity, but also a symbol of youthfulness and
vitality. For slim and toned arms without localized fat, an important factor to consider is
undoubtedly the tone of the tissues, especially the inner part, which is very prone to relaxation.
This is a particularly critical area, even at a young age, for what doctors designate with the term
"ptosis." Letting this area sag can occur for a variety of reasons: genetic factors, a sudden and
significant weight reduction, little or no physical activity, physiological processes (aging),
gravitational forces. Whatever the cause, the result remains the same: soft, wrinkled, drooping arms
destined to experience stress and cause discomfort, itching, redness, and often chafing in the
underarm area. The daily effort, especially in the summer season, of choosing clothes for their
function causes psychological stress and a distorted self-image. Arm remodeling is a surgical
procedure that allows sculpting the arms by removing fat deposits, excising excess skin, releasing and
toning them.
The mastery of Dermolife surgeons based on in-depth knowledge, years of experience,
cutting-edge techniques in the field of aesthetic surgery, combined with their remarkable sensitivity
to beauty, allows our surgeons to perform arm lift with maximum results, making you look your best

Pain is generally modest and controlled by analgesic medications taken in the clinic and at home. Wound healing is performed 2 - 5 days after the procedure, after 7 - 14 days stitches are removed. DERMOLIFE® aesthetic surgery procedures and screening visits will always be free. Most of the swelling disappears within 2-3 weeks. If you need train plasters, they will be removed in 1-2 days. After the procedure, it is recommended to keep compressive dressings for a week. After 3-5 days, you can return to work, excluding boring activities. Within 2-3 weeks, you will be able to return to normal activities, including light exercises that do not require upper limb involvement and slightly subsequent sports.
PROCEDURE
1. CONSULTATION
Arm remodeling is a very delicate and personalized procedure and as such requires a very careful specialized consultation. During the initial visit, the Dermolife® surgeon will evaluate health characteristics, muscles, skin, and fat. They will assess arm characteristics to identify the extent of adipose surplus, skin sagging, differences between the two arms, and carefully analyze the physiognomy of the whole body for a more satisfying and natural result in complete harmony with the body. During the initial consultation, the Dermolife® surgeon will conduct a very detailed open conversation with you and illustrate all the goals and aesthetic results that can be achieved so that you have concrete and realistic expectations. The Dermolife® surgeon also evaluates your health to exclude various diseases, blood clotting problems, or skin rashes that may affect the final outcome of the surgery. Before surgery, our surgeon will provide you with precise instructions on nutrition before and after surgery, medication administration, and alcohol and tobacco consumption. You should also undergo some tests in advance, such as a cardiological visit, a chest X-ray, and some standard blood and urine tests. After summarizing all the answers to these tests, it is time for a consultation with our staff anesthesiologist to decide on the overall health status and the opportunity to perform the aesthetic intervention in question. At the end of the consultation, the surgeon, together with you, will choose the most appropriate procedure for your case.
Arm lift is an artistic expression of the plastic surgeon. In any case, our surgical staff guarantees amazing results, and you will feel more beautiful than ever because DERMOLIFE® GUARANTEES HEALTH AND BEAUTY.
2. ANESTHESIA
Anesthesia can be eliminated by spinal anesthesia, local anesthesia and sedation or general anesthesia. In this case, DERMOLIFE® staff prefers to opt for local sedation anesthesia and avoids general anesthesia, ensuring immediate recovery of the individual after the procedure compared to general anesthesia. It also allows the use of a very small amount of medication during surgery. Local anesthesia is performed with some minor injections in the surgical area to relieve pain. While sedation involves intravenous injection of drugs that reduce anxiety and induce a state of light sleep or somewhat deeper. The person is relaxed. It is worth noting that in local anesthesia intubation is not used by holding the person breathing spontaneously, avoiding the use of devices that ensure breathing during general anesthesia.
3. SURGERY
In any case, DERMOLIFE® staff aims to provide the individual with a smooth and painless surgical experience. The operation is performed following a precise protocol that ensures maximum quality and safety. Hair transplantation takes place on an outpatient basis and recovery is immediate. Hair transplantation can be performed in two ways: 1. The FUT technique (follicular unit transplantation), otherwise known as strip removal, is the most commonly used technique. The operation lasts 2-5 hours. The surgeon removes a strip of hairy skin from an area of dense hair that is outside the influence of male hormones. Usually, the lower (occipital) part of the scalp is preferred. The strip is 1-1.5 cm wide by 15-30 cm long. After removal, the scalp is sutured, leaving very thin and easily covered hair. Then, using a binocular microscope, the removed strip is cut into thin quadrants containing 1-2 follicles (hair roots) and 3-4 follicles. During one session, 400 quadrants with 1-2 roots and 700-800 quadrants with 3-4 roots are transplanted, for a total of 3,000-3,500 roots. The frames are transplanted 4-5 mm deep, at 2-3 mm intervals. 2. The FUE technique (follicular unit extraction) is developed in a single long session or multiple sessions. The FUE procedure is longer than the strip technique. Age 0, diameter 6-1mm are used to remove individual follicles avoiding linear incision in the back of the head. Due to individual resection, only mild wounds remain practically invisible and post-surgical pain is minimized. There is no need to remove the pen and recover faster. The result is very natural. With this technique, up to 2500 roots can be planted in one session. The goal of our Italian surgeons is to perform hair transplants with the best results, which means natural, beautiful, and permanent hair, highlighting the best in you because DERMOLIFE® GUARANTEES HEALTH AND BEAUTY.
4. POST-SURGERY
DERMOLIFE® surgeons will assist you until full recovery. A few hours after the procedure, you are expected to return home, in some cases, an overnight stay in the clinic may be necessary. After the procedure, DERMOLIFE® doctors recommend a rest period of 24-48 hours and getting up and moving a bit from the first day after the procedure. Pain is generally modest and controlled by analgesic medications taken in the clinic and at home. Wound healing is performed 2 - 5 days after the procedure, after 7 - 14 days stitches are removed. DERMOLIFE® aesthetic surgery procedures and screening visits will always be free. Most of the swelling disappears within 2-3 weeks. If you need train plasters, they will be removed in 1-2 days. After the procedure, it is recommended to keep compressive dressings for a week. After 3-5 days, you can return to work, excluding boring activities. Within 2-3 weeks, you will be able to return to normal activities, including light exercises that do not require upper limb involvement and slightly subsequent sports. A controlled diet and regular physical exercise are important to maintain the benefits of the intervention for a long time. The goal of our Italian surgeons is to perform Arm Lift with the best results, which means restructured areas like natural, beautiful, and toned arms in full harmony with the body and silhouette that make you feel physically and emotionally radiant, because DERMOLIFE® GUARANTEES HEALTH AND BEAUTY.
