It is frequently necessary that you do need arm lift surgery after weight loss. Typically people who lose a lot of weight will consider or need an arm lift as part of their post-weight loss body contouring procedures. If you lose a lot of weight over a short period of time, you might also experience loose skin around the arms and require an arm lift.

In the early days of facial plastic surgery, the standard technique used was to pull the skin back, trim off the excess and then close the incisions. Modern plastic surgery techniques have advanced tremendously. Today we are using sophisticated methods of lifting and tightening underlying muscle, and restoring lost volume for a more natural looking outcome.

For the right candidate, facelift surgery is now also very commonly combined with a neck lift. One of the most common reasons for a neck lift is to tighten the loose fold of skin under the chin. This skin is called the “turkey wattle”. Addressing this restores the underlying muscle structures.

People considering a facelift should be very particular about whom they choose to perform the procedure. An unsatisfactory facelift is hard to hide.
