Understanding Arm Lift Surgery (Brachioplasty)

As individuals age, upper arm skin often becomes loose and flabby, creating what is commonly referred to as "Bat Wing Deformity". An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to reduce the circumference of the upper arm by removing and tightening loose skin.

Procedure Details

During an arm lift procedure, Dr. Sureddi may incorporate liposuction to remove excess fat deposits. The surgery typically involves:

• Carefully planned incisions from armpit to elbow
• Removal of excess skin and fat
• Tightening of underlying supportive tissue
• Smoothing skin over new arm contours

Surgical Approach in Southbury, CT

Depending on individual patient conditions, Dr. Sureddi may customize incision techniques to minimize scarring. Internal sutures will reshape underlying tissues, and the skin will be carefully closed using absorbable sutures or removable stitches.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect initial results almost immediately, though some swelling and bruising may temporarily obscure the final outcome. Wearing a compression garment during recovery helps optimize healing and minimize potential complications.

Candidacy and Considerations

The decision to undergo arm lift surgery is highly personal. Dr. Sureddi recommends a personalized consultation to determine individual suitability, discuss potential risks, and align the procedure with patient goals.
