Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) in Stuart, FL | John B Fasano MD

Understanding Brachioplasty: Reshaping Upper Arms

Upper arms can droop and sag due to weight fluctuations, aging, and hereditary factors. An arm lift, or brachioplasty, reduces excess sagging skin and reshapes the under portion of the upper arm, helping patients achieve a more toned and youthful appearance.

Benefits of Arm Lift Surgery

• Reduces excess skin and fat in upper arms
• Improves overall body contour
• Enhances confidence in personal appearance
• Provides long-lasting body sculpting results

Arm Lift Procedure Details

Dr. Fasano performs brachioplasty under general anesthesia, typically taking up to three hours. The procedure involves:

• Incision between elbow and armpit
• Liposuction to remove excess fat
• Muscle tightening
• Skin removal and precise closure

Ideal Candidates for Brachioplasty

Suitable candidates include men and women unhappy with flabby-looking upper arms. Patients should be non-smokers and understand that surgical scars will gradually diminish over time. Recovery can last up to four weeks and may involve swelling and temporary discomfort.

Potential Risks and Considerations

Like all surgical procedures, brachioplasty carries potential risks such as:

• Nerve damage
• Potential necrosis
• Blood clots
• Local swelling
• Rare allergic reactions to anesthesia

Recovery and Expectations

Patients should follow Dr. Fasano's post-operative instructions carefully. Maintaining stable weight and avoiding significant fluctuations help preserve surgical results. Comprehensive aftercare ensures optimal healing and long-term satisfaction.
