Brachioplasty Dublin, OH | Haruko Okada, MD

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery in Dublin

An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to tone and contour the upper arm by removing loose skin and excess fat. This transformative surgery provides a more refined silhouette from shoulder to elbow, typically recommended for patients near their ideal body weight.

Benefits of Arm Lift Surgery

• Removes excess skin from significant weight loss
• Improves arm contour and definition
• Addresses skin laxity caused by aging
• Restores a more youthful arm appearance

Surgical Options for Arm Contouring

Dr. Haruko Okada offers personalized arm lift procedures tailored to individual patient needs. Treatment options include traditional and extended arm lift techniques, which may involve addressing part of the torso to achieve optimal aesthetic results.

Arm Lift Procedure Details

Typically performed as an outpatient surgery under general anesthesia, the arm lift procedure involves removing excess skin, potentially using liposuction to remove unwanted fat, and tightening underlying tissue. Incisions are carefully closed using surgical techniques to minimize scarring.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect moderate pain and swelling following the procedure. A compression bandage will be worn for several weeks, and patients should limit arm movement to ensure proper healing. Full recovery typically occurs within six to eight weeks.

Potential Risks and Considerations

• Potential fluid accumulation
• Possible wound healing complications
• Risk of unexpected scarring
• Potential changes in skin sensation

Preparing for Your Arm Lift

Dr. Okada recommends patients maintain a stable weight for at least 12 months prior to surgery. Patients should stop smoking and arrange post-surgical support to ensure optimal healing and results.
