Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) Tucson, AZ | Dr. Jeffrey M. Nelson, MD

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

Arm lift surgery, or brachioplasty, is a specialized procedure designed to remove excess fat and skin from the upper arms. This transformative surgery creates a tighter and firmer arm contour, helping patients regain confidence in their appearance.

Are You a Candidate for Arm Lift Surgery?

An arm lift might be right for you if you experience:

• Flabby or hanging skin that damages self-confidence
• Excess fat in the upper arm region
• Significant weight loss results
• Arms that appear aged or disproportionate
• Difficulty finding clothing that fits properly

Advanced Arm Lift Techniques

Arm Lift With Liposuction

Ideal for patients with excess upper arm fat, this technique involves using a thin, hollow tube to suction unwanted fat through small incisions. The procedure reduces arm circumference and creates a more toned appearance with minimal visible scarring.

Arm Lift With Skin Excision

This technique is recommended for patients with mild to severe skin laxity. Incision lengths vary based on individual patient needs, ranging from short armpit incisions to extended cuts running from armpit to elbow.

Comprehensive Patient Care

Dr. Jeffrey M. Nelson carefully evaluates each patient's unique anatomy and aesthetic goals to recommend the most appropriate arm lift technique. Ideal candidates are healthy individuals with realistic expectations who do not smoke.

Recovery and Results

Recovery time varies depending on the procedure's extent. Most patients can return to work within four to five days, with complete healing occurring over several weeks. A compression garment is typically worn to minimize swelling and promote optimal healing.

Scarring Considerations

Dr. Nelson takes meticulous care to minimize scarring by strategically placing incisions and utilizing advanced surgical techniques. While some scarring is inevitable, proper care and healing can significantly reduce their visibility.
