The upper arm region is particularly sensitive to changes in:<\/p>\n
Particularly following significant weight loss, it is often not just excess skin that remains.
\nThe internal stability of the tissue is also frequently altered.
\nMany patients initially try to improve their body contour through exercise alone.
\nBuilding muscle can certainly have a positive effect on the body\u2019s shape.
\nHowever, this often does not sufficiently tighten skin that has become biologically slack or excess.<\/p>\n
This is precisely why Dr Wiedner does not regard an upper arm lift as a purely cosmetic procedure.<\/p>\n
For many female patients, it also means:<\/p>\n
An important part of the diagnostic process is distinguishing between:<\/p>\n
If the skin is of good quality, liposuction alone may be sufficient in certain cases.
\nHowever, particularly where the tissue is significantly sagging, fat removal alone often does not result in sufficient tightening.
\nIn such cases, the following options are available:<\/p>\n
This is precisely why Dr Wiedner often combines liposuction with a skin tightening procedure.
\nThis frequently results not only in more harmonious contours, but also in a procedure that is significantly gentler on the tissue.
\nA key advantage of this combination is that it often allows for better preservation of the lymphatic vessels.
\nIn her view, this is particularly important for the upper arms in terms of:<\/p>\n
Not every upper arm lift requires the same incision.
\nAt the same time, unfortunately, there is no completely \u2018invisible\u2019 scar position in cases where there is a significant amount of excess skin.
\nEssentially, the techniques differ mainly depending on whether the scar:<\/p>\n
Which position is more appropriate depends, among other things, on:<\/p>\n
So-called purely axillary or very short incision techniques may initially seem appealing because they promise less visible scarring.
\nHowever, in Dr Wiedner\u2019s view, such approaches often fail to produce sufficiently stable or satisfactory long-term results in cases of significant excess skin.
\nThis is precisely why the following also applies here:
\nLess scarring does not automatically mean a better result.
\nA slightly longer scar, but one placed in an anatomically appropriate position, can often result in significantly smoother and more harmonious contours in the long term.<\/p>\n
Not every patient needs major surgical lifting straight away.
\nParticularly in cases of mild skin laxity or so-called fine lines, modern radiofrequency treatments can, in selected cases, improve skin quality and tissue firmness.
\nFine creases in the upper arm area, in particular, are often caused not only by excess skin, but also by hormonal changes affecting the quality of the skin and connective tissue.
\nAs we age, the collagen structure changes, the skin loses its elasticity and the tissue becomes thinner and softer. This often results in a fine, uneven skin texture that cannot be explained by facelifts alone.
\nIn such situations, complementary procedures such as: <\/p>\n
These procedures can:<\/p>\n
However, Dr Wiedner always considers it important to make a realistic assessment of the options available.
\nSignificant excess skin cannot usually be adequately corrected by minimally invasive procedures alone.
\nThis is precisely why she does not view conservative, minimally invasive and surgical procedures as mutually exclusive.
\nRather, she sees them as different tools that can be combined effectively depending on tissue quality, hormonal status and individual anatomy.<\/p>\n
The upper arm region contains sensitive lymphatic and nerve networks, which must be taken into particular account during surgical planning.
\nThat is precisely why Dr Wiedner attaches great importance to:<\/p>\n
After all, long-lasting, beautiful results are not achieved through streamlining alone.
\nThe key factors are:<\/p>\n
Particularly following weight loss or repeated fluctuations in weight, the tissue often has significantly reduced elasticity.
\nThat is why Dr Wiedner is increasingly incorporating regenerative approaches into her body-shaping strategies.
\nThese include, in particular:<\/p>\n
This is not about artificial change.
\nRather, the focus is on:<\/p>\n
Dr Wiedner deliberately adopts a calm and anatomically oriented approach.
\nTheir aim is not to tense their upper arm as much as possible.
\nThe focus is rather on:<\/p>\n
In her view, the most challenging aspect of modern upper arm surgery is not achieving maximum tightening.
\nIt lies in restoring a natural balance between tissue quality, function and body proportions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
It is not uncommon to feel that one\u2019s ability to dress, move about or cope with certain everyday situations is becoming increasingly restricted.
