Understanding Arm Lift Surgery
Losing weight or advancing in age can result in loose, hanging skin on the upper arms, often referred to as "bat wings". Arm lift surgery, medically known as brachioplasty, addresses this common concern by removing excess skin and improving arm contour. At Mays Plastic Surgery and Med Spa, Dr. Mays specializes in advanced techniques to tighten and reshape the upper arms for patients in Louisville, KY.
Arm Lift Surgical Procedure
Typically performed as an outpatient procedure, arm lift surgery involves several key steps:
- General anesthesia administration
- Incision from elbow to underarm
- Removal of excess skin and fat
- Skin tightening and contouring
- Optional liposuction for additional fat removal
Procedure Considerations
Dr. Mays carefully places incisions to minimize visible scarring and can combine arm lift surgery with other body contouring procedures like tummy tucks or mommy makeovers when appropriate.
Benefits of Arm Lift Surgery
Brachioplasty offers both physical and emotional advantages, including:
- Improved arm contour and appearance
- Increased self-confidence
- Removal of excess, hanging skin
- Enhanced body proportions
Patient Candidacy
Ideal candidates for arm lift surgery are individuals at a stable weight who cannot eliminate loose arm skin through diet and exercise. A comprehensive consultation with Dr. Mays will determine your specific surgical approach.
