Arm Lift Golden, CO | Matthew Baker, MD

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

The Center for Cosmetic Surgery performs brachioplasty, commonly known as arm lift surgery, to address sagging upper arm skin. This procedure helps patients from metro Denver and Colorado Springs who struggle with excess, unattractive upper arm skin that does not respond to diet and exercise.

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift

An ideal arm lift candidate typically experiences:

• Excessive, loose skin on upper arms
• Skin resistant to diet and exercise
• Desire to improve arm contour and appearance

Arm Lift Procedure Details

The arm lift surgical technique involves three primary steps:

• Power-assisted liposuction to reduce arm fat content
• Direct excision of excess skin and underlying fat
• Precise tissue reconstruction for improved arm shape

Surgical Approach

Matthew Baker, MD, and the surgical team utilize general anesthesia to ensure patient comfort and safety. The procedure typically involves an incision along the inner arm, strategically placed to minimize visible scarring.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect the following recovery timeline:

• Compression garment wear for 4 weeks
• Pain medication typically discontinued after 2-3 days
• Return to non-strenuous work around 1 week
• Full arm use resumption at approximately 6 weeks

Alternative Options

For patients with thick arms but minimal skin laxity, liposuction might provide an effective alternative to full arm lift surgery.
