This causes excess and sagging skin at the back of the upper arm. Exercising can make the arms look firmer again, but it will not improve the sagging skin. With an arm lift, the skin on the upper arms can be re-tightened. In addition, if the upper arms are too fat, liposculpture can be performed at the same time.<\/p>\n<h2>\n\t\t\tHow does an arm lift happen?\t<\/h2>\n\t<p>The excess skin that can be grasped on the inside of the arm between thumb and forefinger is removed. Furthermore, the skin is tightened nicely.  If necessary, excess fat is also aspirated away.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pdedoncker.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/armlift-1.jpg\" alt=\"armlift\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"719\" width=\"922\" title=\"armlift\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"\/en\/price-list\/\" target=\"_self\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tView the rates\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"\/en\/contact\/\" target=\"_self\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGet in touch\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\tbefore and after\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>See the before and after results of this treatment<\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pdedoncker.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/154213.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pdedoncker.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/154216.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pdedoncker.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/58169.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pdedoncker.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/581612.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pdedoncker.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/133482.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pdedoncker.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/133486.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pdedoncker.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/97583.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pdedoncker.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/97586.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"\/en\/contact\/\" target=\"_self\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tContact us\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/realplasticsurgeon.eu\/search\/doctor\/ZGV4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" itemprop=\"url\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pdedoncker.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/certifcation-rps-whitebg.png\" alt=\"certifcation-rps-whitebg\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"219\" width=\"141\" title=\"certifcation-rps-whitebg\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pdedoncker.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/maki_doctor.svg\" alt=\"Satisfied Client Icon\"\/>\n            Dr. Patrick Dedoncker<br \/>Certified plastic surgeon\n\t\t\tProfessional care by a recognised specialist\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Why choose Dr. Patrick Dedoncker?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\n\t<ul>\n\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t<b>Certified<\/b> and <b>registered<\/b> at the Belgian Ministry of Health\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\tMember of the<b> Royal Belgian Society for Plastic Surgery (RBSPS)<\/b>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t<b>Strong reputation<\/b> in breast, face and body surgery\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\tInterventions only in <b>approved hospital environments <\/b>with full medical support\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\tMultidisciplinary collaboration in hospital for <b>optimal patient safety<\/b>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\tOnly <b>modern surgical techniques<\/b> according to international standard\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t<\/ul>\n<h2>\n\t\t\tImportant information\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pdedoncker.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/litteken.svg\" alt=\"scar\" width=\"61\" height=\"61\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>Scar<\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<p>The incision is made in the least conspicuous place, namely on the inside of the upper arm.

A tube or drain is not necessary. This procedure causes little pain. Any discomfort in the first 24 hours will be controlled with classic painkillers such as paracetamol and ibuprofen.You will be incapacitated for about two days. After a week, you will come for a check-up and the dressing will be renewed. The scar is sometimes red and hard for the first few months. But it fades and softens greatly in the following year. Your plastic surgeon will give you advice to speed up this natural maturation process. It is good to massage the scar with an oily cream during the first weeks (nivea hand cream, day cream, almond oil, a scar ointment and others)Three months after the operation, the result is evaluated on the basis of the photos taken.<\/p>\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pdedoncker.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/verdoving.svg\" alt=\"anaesthetic\" width=\"61\" height=\"61\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>Anaesthetic<\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<p>With the refinement of surgical technique and strong advances in anaesthesia in recent years, an arm lift is performed under light sedation and local anaesthesia.

Only this procedure guarantees the highest possible safety for you as a patient.Local anaesthesia not only ensures a pain-free procedure, but also minimal blood loss and bruising.<br \/>If you are taking blood-thinning medication, please inform the doctor beforehand (e.g. acetylsalicylic acid, aspirin, asaflow, cardioaspirin, dipiridamole, plavix, sintrom, marevan and others)After your procedure, you will be given your plastic surgeon's personal mobile phone number so that you can feel safe<\/p>\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pdedoncker.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/risicos.svg\" alt=\"risks\" width=\"61\" height=\"61\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>Possible risks<\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<p>If you are healthy, there are hardly any risks associated with this procedure.
