Arm Lift Toledo, OH | John F. Zavell, MD, FACS

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

Sagging skin on the upper arms can create self-consciousness and limit clothing choices. When diet and exercise fail to improve arm contours, an arm lift (brachioplasty) offers a transformative solution for achieving toned, proportionate arms.

What is an Arm Lift?

An arm lift removes excess skin and reshapes the upper arms, revealing a more sculpted appearance. Dr. John F. Zavell combines advanced liposuction and excision techniques to deliver precise, natural-looking results for patients throughout Toledo, Sandusky, and Findlay.

Benefits of Arm Lift Surgery

• Enhanced upper arm contours and muscle definition
• Expanded clothing options
• Improved body proportions after significant weight loss
• Increased self-confidence in social and professional settings

Ideal Candidates for Brachioplasty

Dr. Zavell evaluates potential arm lift candidates based on several key factors:

• Non-smokers or patients willing to quit tobacco use
• Individuals at a stable, maintainable weight
• Patients in good overall health
• Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

The Arm Lift Procedure

During a typical arm lift, Dr. Zavell will:

• Administer general anesthesia for patient comfort
• Make carefully planned incisions along the arm's posterior or underarm region
• Remove excess skin and fat through precise surgical techniques
• Tighten underlying tissues for optimal arm contour
• Close incisions with advanced suturing methods

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect a gradual recovery process, with full results typically visible within three months. Dr. Zavell's team provides comprehensive post-operative instructions to support optimal healing.
