Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

Men and women seeking toned, firm arms can explore arm lift consultations at Dr. Mark Mofid's practice near La Jolla. An initial consultation represents the first step toward addressing excess tissue in the upper arm area.

What is an Arm Lift?

An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat contributing to a flabby upper arm appearance. Dr. Mofid strategically makes incisions along the back of the upper arm to minimize visible surgical marks.

Surgical Technique

• Incision placed along the back of the upper arm
• Excess skin and fat carefully removed
• Remaining tissue tightly stretched over underlying arm muscles
• Incision sutured to create a toned, contoured appearance

Recovery Process

Arm lift surgery involves a specific recovery protocol. Patients can expect some initial swelling and bruising around the upper arms. Drains may be placed to manage fluid buildup, and a compression garment might be recommended to control swelling.

Procedure Considerations

The cost of an arm lift in San Diego varies based on individual surgical requirements and desired outcomes. Factors influencing pricing include the specific techniques used and the extent of tissue modification needed.

Consultation and Candidacy

An arm lift can significantly enhance upper arm appearance and restore patient confidence. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Mofid offers personalized consultations to determine individual candidacy for this transformative procedure.
