We distinguish 3 techniques of arm lift:
liposuction of the arms (no excess skin)
Arm liposuction with horizontal axillary scar for arm lift (moderate skin excess)
Arm liposuction with internal longitudinal scar for arm lift (significant excess skin)
The anesthesia is general. Sometimes a local anesthesia associated with a sedation (relaxing medication) is possible.
Depending on the type of arm lift that is indicated for you, it lasts between 1 and 2 hours.
