An Forehand Lift is a surgical procedure to remove loose skin and excess fat deposits in the upper arm.
With age, upper arm skin can become loose and flabby. Plastic surgeons will discuss Forehand Lift with patients who want to tighten this skin and look as good as they feel. In some cases your plastic surgeon may suggest that liposuction be used alone or in conjunction with an Forehand Lift to remove excess fat in the upper arms.
With the rise of surgical procedures that aid in radical weight loss has come a corresponding demand for Forehand Lift. Of course, individuals who have had weight loss surgery are not the only patients who request or can benefit from Forehand Lift surgery.
That's why surgeons have been performing Forehand Lift surgery on people with these problems. An Forehand Lift can dramatically reshape your arm to bring it back in line with the rest of your body.
For some people, sagging skin associated with aging is the culprit; others are unable to get rid of flabby arms through exercise. An Forehand Lift creates a smoother look to the upper arm, increases the tightness of the skin, reduces the appearance of fat, and creates a more youthful appearance.
Forehand Lifts can also address flab or folds in the skin on the side of the chest near the armpit.
Surgery to perform an Forehand Lift typically takes about two hours and can be conducted under light anesthetic. In some cases, the Forehand Lift can be accomplished using only liposuction and won't require any incisions to be made.
Forehand Lift is a lengthy and somewhat complicated procedure compared to cosmetic surgery in other parts of the body. That's because the arm can accumulate more skin and fat by proportion.
More intense Forehand Lift surgery will use an incision placed in the crease of the armpit or down the inside of the arm. These incisions will be used to lift the skin, tighten the arms, remove excess fat and tighten arm ligaments. Following the Forehand Lift procedure, the skin is sutured shut and a pressure garment or elastic bandage is applied to promote healthy healing.
Patients will have limited use of their arms immediately following an Forehand Lift, but doctors discourage heavy lifting or even fully extending the arms for the first week or two after surgery.
Forehand Lift patients will return a day or two after the procedure, and then usually again within two weeks for the removal of the sutures. During the first days and weeks after an Forehand Lift procedure, patients may be required to follow a special regimen of light exercise and stretching to prevent the loss of range of motion of the arms.
While each person's recovery is unique, the recovery period after an Forehand Lift generally lasts one to two weeks. You'll probably be able to return to work in a week, and resume exercise within two weeks. Strenuous workouts and contact sports can be engaged in after about four weeks.
Forehand Lifts, especially in combination with liposuction, can produce dramatic results in the contour of the arm. The scars resulting from an Forehand Lift are not considered "mature" until a year, or even two, after the surgery, and typically are not dramatic or even readily noticeable.
Some individuals choose to have a scar revision after their Forehand Lift surgery, in order to further reduce the appearance of scarring.
