Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) Ellicott City, MD | Metamorphosis Plastic Surgery: Dr. Daniel P. Markmann

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a transformative surgical procedure designed to reshape and refine the upper arm area. Dr. Daniel Markmann specializes in addressing concerns related to excess skin, fat deposits, and loss of arm definition.

What is Brachioplasty?

Brachioplasty is a comprehensive body contouring procedure that targets the upper arm region from the underarm to the elbow. The surgery focuses on:

• Removing excess, hanging skin
• Reducing localized fat deposits
• Tightening underlying supportive tissue
• Enhancing overall arm appearance and proportion

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift Surgery

Metamorphosis Plastic Surgery recommends arm lift surgery for individuals who:

• Have stable body weight within 30 pounds of ideal weight
• Experience significant skin laxity in upper arms
• Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
• Are in good overall health

The Arm Lift Procedure in Ellicott City

Dr. Markmann performs brachioplasty as an outpatient procedure typically lasting approximately two hours. The surgical approach is customized based on individual patient needs, with incision length varying depending on the amount of skin and fat to be removed.

Surgical Technique

During the procedure, patients receive general anesthesia. Dr. Markmann carefully removes excess skin and fat, then meticulously tightens underlying muscles to create a more refined arm contour.

Recovery and Results

Post-surgical recovery involves wearing a compression garment and following specific care instructions. Patients can expect gradual improvement in arm appearance, with final results becoming evident after several weeks of healing.

Complementary Procedures

Many patients combine arm lift surgery with additional body contouring procedures such as liposuction, tummy tuck, or breast surgery to achieve comprehensive aesthetic goals.
