The arms is one of the body parts we use the most and actually see the most. When the skin on your arms starts to lose elasticity or accumulate stubborn fat deposits, it can feel like you don't really recognize yourself. Maybe you've struggled with exercise without results or lost weight and are left with excess skin that won't tighten up.
Whatever the reason, we understand that it's hard and we can promise you that you're not alone. Many people choose to seek help from us at Estetikcentrum and have surgery to remove excess skin on their upper arms. It gives them new arms and a new sense of freedom!
What is arm plastic surgery and who is it suitable for?
Simply put, arm plastic surgery is a surgical procedure where we remove loose skin on the upper arms and, if necessary, also fat that is difficult to remove on your own. It is a common procedure after major weight changes or as a way to tighten the skin when it has naturally lost its elasticity. The operation can be combined with liposuction if you want even more marked contours and is suitable regardless of whether you have a lot or a little skin that needs to be removed. We adapt the procedure to your body for a natural and balanced result.
How much does it cost to have arm surgery?
The price for arm plastic surgery here at Estetikcentrum starts at 56,900 SEK, but the cost can vary depending on how extensive the procedure is and whether you want to combine it with liposuction. We always go through your wishes and your physical conditions during an initial consultation, where you will also receive a more personalized cost estimate. We understand that the price can feel overwhelming, and therefore offer the opportunity to divide the cost into monthly installments. This way, you can invest in your arms in a way that feels possible for you.
Results and recovery
Most people notice a clear difference after a few weeks, although swelling and tenderness may persist for a while. It is also not uncommon for you to get bruises in the area, especially where stitches were placed or where liposuction has been performed. These may last for a few days, but usually disappear on their own.
Once the body has healed properly, our patients experience that their arms both feel lighter and look slimmer, firmer and more proportionate. You will notice it on your clothes and perhaps especially in the mirror. The best thing is that the results last over time, as long as you maintain a stable weight. So it is a change that is not only visible, but also felt every day.
