Understanding Brachioplasty: Addressing Arm Skin Concerns

Weight fluctuations, aging, and genetic factors can cause upper arms to develop a drooping, sagging appearance that cannot be corrected through exercise alone. Brachioplasty offers a surgical solution for individuals experiencing excess skin and fat in the upper arm region.

Brachioplasty Benefits

  • Reduce excess sagging skin that droops downward
  • Tighten and smooth underlying supportive tissue
  • Reduce localized fat pockets in the upper arm area

Surgical Procedure Details

Dr. Powers performs brachioplasty with precision, typically placing incisions on the inside or back of the arm. These incisions may extend from the underarm to just above the elbow, depending on individual patient needs. When necessary, fat reduction can be accomplished through excision or liposuction.

Procedure Technique

Underlying supportive tissue is carefully tightened and reshaped using internal sutures. These sutures are typically removed within one to two weeks following the arm lift procedure.

Recovery and Scar Management

Post-surgical care includes applying dressings or bandages to incisions and potentially using elastic bandages or compression garments to minimize swelling. Dr. Powers utilizes embrace™ scar therapy tape to achieve optimal healing and minimize visible scarring.

Expected Results

Patients can expect smoother, tighter arm contours almost immediately after the procedure. Initial results may be slightly obscured by temporary swelling and bruising, but the dramatic improvement in arm appearance and feel becomes increasingly evident during recovery.

Dr. Powers and her staff are incredibly professional and welcoming. Every appointment I was made to feel comfortable and treated with care. Dr. Powers and Idania took the time to answer all of my questions and made sure to check up on me regularly after my procedure. I cannot stress enough how important it is to follow doctor’s orders, especially because I needed a quick and speedy recovery. Dr. Powers did an incredible job on my procedure and as the swelling goes down, I am better able to see her work. I adore Dr. Powers and Idania. I highly recommend Dr. Powers as not only is her work impeccable, but she does make you feel cared for as she is accessible for any and every question. She called me regularly after the procedure to see how I was doing. Any other work in the future will be done by Dr. Powers.

I have been a patient of Dr. Mary Powers for almost 10 years. The older I get, the younger Dr.Powers makes me look. I began my journey with Dr. Powers with mini face lift then few years later eyes and brow lift and recently, couple more surgeries which helped reduce my dress size drastically! Thanks to Dr. Powers and her beautiful artwork; I look better now than I did in my younger years. Dr. Powers and her staff give you a warm loving feeling from the minute you call in for your first appointment and make sure you are well taken care of all the way till the end of the surgery with continued follow ups. I have referred some of my dearest friends to Dr. Powers and all are super pleased with their results.

I saw very few (mostly very old) questionable reviews for Dr. Powers and really feel compelled to share my story with you. I wish I could share it far beyond Yelp and Google because I feel so strongly. I recently underwent a comprehensive transformation (breast reduction, breast lift, and liposuction of the thighs, flanks, abdomen, hips, back, and chin) under the skilled hands of Dr. Mary Powers, and I can't express enough gratitude for the exceptional care and results I received. Dr. Powers is nothing short of a visionary in her field, and her expertise in plastic surgery is truly remarkable. From the initial consultation to the post-operative care, Dr. Powers demonstrated a level of kindness, compassion, professionalism and thoroughness that exceeded my high expectations. Her detailed explanation of each procedure put me at ease and instilled confidence in her abilities. She took the time to understand my preferences and concerns, ensuring a personalized approach to my transformation. What sets Dr. Powers apart is not just her technical proficiency but also her ability to make insightful suggestions. I followed her recommendations and recovery instructions diligently for an extended period of time, and the results speak for themselves. I feel like I am back to a version of myself that I had lost for several years. I won't ever be able to adequately express what a positive impact Dr. Powers has had on the quality of my life. I will forever be so, so grateful. I had the privilege of visiting both the Westlake and Long Beach facilities, and the outstanding level of care was consistent across both locations. Dr. Powers' staff at both facilities were not only professional but also empathetic, contributing to a positive and supportive environment throughout my journey. Each member of her staff cared a great deal about my physical and emotional well-being. I am an anxious person by nature and felt completely at ease on the day of surgery. Dr. powers and her staff had an innate ability to build trust and we even exchanged laughs before I went under for over 8hrs. My scars have already healed SO nicely and get better each day - you can hardly see them, my breasts are at the absolute PERFECT position and size, I have full nipple sensation, my abs have made their first appearance since 2010 and my jawline is snatched! My back pain is gone, I am sleeping better, and I have dropped several sizes (and still have some swelling that will reduce further over the next couple months). The impact Dr. Powers has made on the quality of my life cannot be overstated. The incredible outcome of the procedures has given me a newfound confidence and restored aspects of my self-image that I thought were lost. Her dedication to her craft and her patients is truly commendable. Truly. I had surgery over a month ago and she still calls nearly daily between my visits to her office. If you're seeking a plastic surgeon who is not only highly skilled but also compassionate and dedicated to delivering outstanding results, Dr. Mary Powers is the one and there is no one else in my opinion. My experience with her and her exceptional team has been nothing short of life-changing, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone considering plastic surgery. If you are on the fence, meet Dr. Powers and then go for it! Commit to the recovery, to doing your part, and she won't let you down.
