Yes. An arm lift after gastric bypass or after significant weight loss can be a good option to remove excess skin, but it is important to have a stable weight for a considerable time before considering an arm lift. Always consult with your surgeon for a tailor-made treatment plan.
The procedures arm lift and gastric bypass are frequently combined. After all, after a gastric bypass you lose a lot of weight, and this is often clearly visible on the arms in the form of loose skin. Precisely because you often want to show off your slimmer body then, the arms are an area to tackle. Besides the fact that tighter skin looks better with bare arms, loose skin on the arms can also just be really annoying. It can start to irritate, chafe, and therefore cause sweating and irritation, possibly leading to inflammation. In short, doing an arm lift after a gastric bypass is often a good choice!
At Wellness Kliniek, you can go for both a gastric bypass and an arm lift. The specialised doctors in these techniques can consult each other and work closely together to provide you with tailor-made treatment. Please note that gastric bypass surgery is only being performed in our clinic in Belgium.
