Understanding Brachioplasty: A Comprehensive Arm Contouring Solution

Brachioplasty, commonly known as an arm lift, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms. This transformative procedure helps patients achieve more toned, proportionate arm contours by addressing loose or sagging skin that cannot be improved through exercise or non-surgical treatments.

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift Surgery

• Individuals with significant arm skin laxity
• Patients who have experienced substantial weight loss
• Those with limited skin elasticity in the upper arm region
• Individuals seeking improved arm definition and symmetry

Surgical Technique and Approach

Dr. Lawrence C. Kurtzman employs advanced surgical techniques to perform brachioplasty. The procedure typically involves creating an incision along the inner arm, removing excess skin and fat, and then carefully reshaping the underlying supportive tissue to create a more refined arm contour.

Personalized Surgical Planning

Each brachioplasty procedure is tailored to the patient's unique anatomical structure and aesthetic goals. Dr. Kurtzman conducts comprehensive consultations to develop a customized surgical plan that addresses individual concerns and delivers optimal results.

Recovery and Expectations

Recovery from brachioplasty varies by individual but generally involves several weeks of healing. Patients can expect some initial swelling and discomfort, which gradually subsides. Following post-operative instructions carefully helps ensure optimal healing and results.

Potential Risks and Considerations

• Surgical scarring along the inner arm
• Temporary arm numbness or sensation changes
• Potential wound healing complications
• Risks associated with general anesthesia

Long-Term Results

Brachioplasty offers long-lasting improvements in arm contour and appearance. Maintaining a stable weight and following a healthy lifestyle can help preserve surgical results and enhance overall aesthetic outcomes.
