WIPS Stock Photos 32It’s not uncommon to experience sagging skin on the arms due to aging, weight loss, or genetics. If you find yourself self-conscious about the appearance of your arms and desire a more toned and youthful contour, Dr. Sauerhammer offers arm lift surgery at the Wisconsin Institute of Plastic Surgery in Appleton and Green Bay. Learn more about the benefits of an arm lift and if it is the ideal procedure to help you meet your goals.


Benefits of Arm Lift Surgery

  • Achieve Toned Contours: Arm lift surgery removes excess skin and tightens underlying tissues, creating a more defined and sculpted appearance. This procedure can help you achieve the toned arms you desire.
  • Boost Confidence: Many individuals with sagging arm skin feel self-conscious about their appearance. Arm lift surgery can restore confidence by addressing loose skin and providing a smoother, more youthful contour.
  • Enhance Wardrobe Choices: Excess arm skin can limit clothing options. With arm lift surgery, you can enjoy a broader range of wardrobe choices and feel more comfortable and confident in sleeveless or form-fitting attire.

Dr. Sauerhammer offers patients nearly a decade of experience and specialization in rejuvenating procedures for the body, breasts, and face.

She is double-board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Surgery.

Is an Arm Lift Right for You?

Consider the following questions to determine if arm lift surgery aligns with your goals:

  • Excess Skin Concerns: Is excess skin on your arms a primary concern? Arm lift surgery specifically addresses sagging skin, creating a more contoured and youthful appearance.
  • Confidence Boost: Do you feel self-conscious about the appearance of your arms? Arm lift surgery can enhance confidence by addressing loose skin and creating a more toned and aesthetically pleasing form.

What Is the Recovery from an Arm Lift Like?

Dr. Sauerhammer performs arm lift surgery using general anesthesia for Appleton and Green Bay patients. You can typically expect to return home the same day after this outpatient procedure. Recovery involves planning for approximately two weeks away from work and daily responsibilities for most patients.

Dr. Sauerhammer may use drains to manage fluid buildup post-surgery, and she will apply a long-lasting local anesthetic for optimal comfort during the initial days of recovery. She will strategically place any incisions to minimize visibility,  and provide guidance for long-term scar management.
