Understanding Brachioplasty

A brachioplasty, commonly known as an arm lift, is a specialized surgical procedure designed to address excess skin and fat in the upper arm region. Dr. Holland provides comprehensive arm contouring solutions that help patients achieve more defined and aesthetically pleasing arm profiles.

Comprehensive Consultation Process

During the initial consultation, Dr. Holland conducts a thorough evaluation of each patient's medical history and aesthetic goals. The assessment focuses on understanding individual concerns about upper arm skin laxity and fat distribution, enabling a personalized surgical approach.

Surgical Approach

Holland Plastic Surgery utilizes advanced techniques to perform brachioplasty under general anesthesia. The procedure involves carefully removing excess skin and fat while tightening underlying supportive tissue to create a smoother, more contoured arm appearance.

Pre-Surgical Considerations

Patients should be aware of several important factors before undergoing brachioplasty:

• Anticipate temporary discomfort during initial recovery period
• Compression garments are required for 4-6 weeks post-surgery
• Expect temporary swelling and potential numbness in operative areas
• Follow specific pre-surgical medication guidelines

Recovery and Post-Treatment Care

Dr. Holland provides tailored post-operative instructions to ensure optimal healing. Patients receive guidance on wearing compression garments, managing discomfort, and gradually resuming normal activities.

Potential Outcomes

Brachioplasty can significantly improve arm contour, reducing excess skin and enhancing overall body proportions. Results develop gradually, with patients experiencing increased confidence and improved aesthetic appearance.
