Thank you for your question: Is there a Researching for an arm lift - Is there a benchmark for doctors in determining how much skin to remove?". This is an interesting question. During your consultation, you and your plastic surgeon need to decide on your aesthetic goals. Having done hundreds of arm lifts over 20 years, most of my patients want skinny arms. That is to remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms. In addition, my patient wants a balance between the upper and lower arms. My patient called these Popeye arms if too much skin is resected in the upper arm and too much skin and fat is left in the forearm. Therefore it’s a balance between the upper and lower arm in terms of proportions. In addition, the physical factor of the limitations of the amount of skin and fat that can be removed from your arm. In my opinion, I would leave all this up to your plastic surgeon. To be proactive, you can pull as many pictures as possible to present to your plastic surgeon for your desired look. However, in terms of strict benchmarks, this is usually not established with a plastic surgeon. Good luck with your upcoming arm lift production maker plastic. I hope my answers suffice in answering your questions regarding benchmarks regarding arm reduction surgery.
