A good candidate for an arm lift is typically an individual who has significant upper arm skin laxity. This procedure is well-suited for adults of any age, provided their weight is relatively stable and they are not significantly overweight. It’s important for candidates to be healthy, without medical conditions that could impair healing or increase the risk of surgery. Patients should be nonsmokers, as smoking can affect the healing process and increase surgical risks. Additionally, it’s crucial for candidates to have a positive outlook and realistic expectations about the outcomes of an arm lift. This mindset helps in achieving satisfaction with the results and understanding the extent of the changes that the surgery can bring.
