Arm Tuck

Arm Tuck: Overview

If your arms are loose from weight loss or aging, Dr. Michael W. Gray can restore tightness and a more even contour with an arm tuck. This procedure is designed to reduce excess skin of the arm and correct unsightly skin folds that can cause skin irritation or interfere with your ability to wear sleeveless tops. Why wait any longer for the arms you’ve always wanted? Make an appointment with Dr. Gray today.

Arm Tuck: Procedure

During an arm tuck, Dr. Gray reduces excess skin with an elliptical excision of the skin on the inner aspect of the arm. The ends are tapered at the elbow and armpit to provide a smooth closure. The procedure can be extended into the armpit if needed to remove more skin.

Arm Tuck: Recovery

There is minimal discomfort with arm tucks. Usually, no pain medicine is required. Aggressive arm movements are restricted for 3 weeks. Patients can return to work with these restrictions the next day.
