Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) in Lincoln

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to reshape the underside of the upper arm. The technique addresses excess skin and fat extending from the underarm region to the elbow, typically resulting from significant weight loss or natural aging processes. Jacobson Cosmetic Surgery often combines liposuction with arm lift surgery to achieve optimal aesthetic results.

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift Surgery

Arm lift candidates typically include:

• Non-smokers in generally good health
• Individuals aged 18-65+ with realistic aesthetic expectations
• Patients with loose or sagging skin in the upper arm region
• Individuals without medical conditions that impair wound healing

Surgical Recovery and Expectations

Patients can anticipate a comprehensive recovery process following an arm lift procedure. The typical downtime is approximately 14 days, during which patients will experience expected side effects such as swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort. Compression garments are mandatory for 6-8 weeks to support proper healing.

Post-Surgical Care Recommendations

Jacobson Cosmetic Surgery provides detailed post-operative instructions to ensure optimal healing. Key recommendations include:

• Elevating arms above heart level to reduce hand swelling
• Avoiding arm elevation above the head for 3 weeks
• Following specific activity restrictions
• Using prescribed pain management techniques

Procedure Specifics

The arm lift procedure involves carefully removing excess skin and fat, then meticulously reshaping the underlying supportive tissue. The goal is to create a more toned, proportionate upper arm contour that looks natural and enhances the patient's overall body aesthetic.
