Hand-lift: indications and contraindications, types of lifting
One of the most common problems today is the problem of the skin of the hands. After 30 years, many girls are faced with the fact that the skin on the hands a little sagging, wrinkles appear on it. These factors contribute to the treatment of surgery, at the moment there are many operations to tighten the arms.
Surgeons perform a hand-tightening, paying particular attention to incisions during surgery: it should be done where the most effective compression of the tissue occurs. There are no arms that are symmetrical, so cuts are often made in slightly different places. The most qualified surgeons will perform an operation that takes into account hand movement and mobility.
A two-hour procedure is usually performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia.
Before the operation, make markings for subsequent cuts. Surgeons create a zigzag slit in the shoulder from the elbow to the armpit (armpit) and remove excess fat.
The most common causes of deterioration of the skin on the hands of the following:
- Weak muscles. This occurs in the absence of physical exercise on the muscles.
- Dramatic weight loss. When fatty tissue quickly decreases, the skin does not have time to adjust.
- A large amount of adipose tissue , so that the skin on the arm will hang and look ugly.
- Age-related changes in the body . Reduced workings of elastin and collagen.
To combat these causes you need to make maximum efforts. Quite often, regular exercise, proper nutrition and massage can help in this. Regular exercise is excellent for the muscles and the skin of the hands. There are many exercises that help in this.
Among the most popular:
- push ups;
- exercises with dumbbells or an expander.
In carrying out the exercises from these series, the muscles will be in good shape, and the skin on the hands will become more taut. Most importantly, these exercises are good for health and do not require financial costs.
There is a large variety of masks made according to different recipes. But they will be effective when the skin is still not hanging down. But sometimes a situation occurs when all previous efforts become useless. Then you need to resort to a tightening of hands with the help of surgery .

Tightening is often done using a hand lift. There are several types of lifting:
Brachioplasty is one of the operations of plastic surgery, which is designed to eliminate excess fat and tighten loose skin. With age, the tone and skin turgor decreases. The operation of lifting hands helps to return their hands to their former beauty. In this operation, an incision is made from the elbow to the armpit. Sometimes it can even reach the chest. There are cases when brachioplasty is used along with liposuction. To this operation, as well as to others, there are indications and contraindications. The indications include obesity, loose skin hanging hands.

If a person has a small amount of fat, then the effect can be obtained from a liposuction. If there are also excessive folds, then surgery can be limited only to this area.
To reduce the size of the postoperative scar, spend an ellipsoid incision.
An incision is always made along the inner surface of the arm.
If hanging skin is only in the armpit area, then a technique is used with a cut from the upper part of the shoulder to the armpit.
After the operation, the skin is stretched and sewn cosmetic seam.
