Understanding Brachioplasty: Transforming Arm Aesthetics

At Charlotte Plastic Surgery, board-certified surgeons specialize in brachioplasty, a transformative procedure addressing sagging arm skin caused by aging, genetics, and significant weight changes. Traditional exercise and diet often cannot effectively resolve these aesthetic concerns, making surgical intervention a precise solution.

What is Brachioplasty?

A brachioplasty, commonly known as an arm lift, is a surgical procedure designed to reshape and contour upper arms. This technique specifically targets:

• Excess skin and fat removal
• Tightening underlying muscle structures
• Sculpting a more defined arm appearance

Benefits of Arm Lift Surgery

Brachioplasty offers numerous advantages for individuals seeking improved arm aesthetics:

• Enhanced body contour and proportion
• Increased self-confidence
• Elimination of "bat wing" appearance
• Long-lasting surgical results

Charlotte Plastic Surgery's expert surgeons customize each brachioplasty procedure. Typical surgical characteristics include:

• Duration: One to three hours
• Anesthesia: General or IV sedation
• Incision placement: Inner arm region
• Same-day discharge with proper assistance

Recovery and Expectations

Post-surgical recovery requires careful management:

• Compression garments to minimize swelling
• Limited arm movement for 14 days
• Gradual return to normal activities
• Complete healing within 4-8 weeks
