Can loose skin and wrinkkles by my armpit be removed through an arm lift? (photos)

The armpit wrinkles could be improved by excising some of the skin in that area. Care does need to be taken as your surgeon pointed out, to not remove too much as it could impede your ability to extend your arm freely.

Some excess skin can still be removed as a lift, or you can try noninvasive Morpheus in that area to tighten the skin.

Hello,
Thank you for your question about addressing excess skin and wrinkles in the armpit region. You're correct that these issues can be effectively treated with surgery. The procedure you're referring to is technically known as an armpit or axillary reduction. This involves making an incision in the armpit to remove the excess skin, thereby tightening the surrounding area. It's distinct from an arm lift, arm reduction, or brachioplasty, and it's also not a torsoplasty.
During the axillary reduction, after removing the excess skin, the neighboring skin is tightened. It's a common misconception that tightening the armpit skin will permanently restrict your ability to lift or abduct your arms. In reality, after a recovery period, you will regain the ability to lift your arms normally.
The recovery period typically spans 3 to 4 weeks. Initially, you will be advised not to raise your arms, but over the following weeks, you'll be able to gradually increase arm movement. The surgery can be performed under local, IV, or general anesthesia and usually takes about two hours. Typically, drains are not required for this procedure.
I hope this response clarifies your query about treating excess skin in the armpit area and what the procedure entails. Wishing you good luck and a smooth recovery.
Sincerely,
