Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) Raleigh, NY | Raleigh Plastic Surgery Center

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat deposits from the upper arms. This transformative technique creates a more pleasing and youthful arm contour for patients experiencing skin laxity due to aging, significant weight loss, or genetic predisposition.

Procedure Overview

Raleigh Plastic Surgery Center offers two primary arm lift techniques tailored to individual patient needs:

• Short Scar Brachioplasty: Incision remains within the armpit area
• Standard Brachioplasty: Incision extends from elbow to underarm, potentially continuing to the chest

Complementary Treatments

The arm lift procedure can be combined with liposuction to enhance body contouring results. Plastic surgeons evaluate each patient's unique anatomy and aesthetic goals to recommend the most appropriate surgical approach.

Candidate Considerations for Arm Lift

Ideal candidates for arm lift surgery include individuals who have:

• Experienced significant weight loss
• Developed excess, hanging skin on upper arms
• Maintained a stable body weight
• Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Important Patient Guidance

An arm lift is not a weight loss solution but a body contouring procedure. Patients should understand that the primary goal is removing excess skin and improving arm aesthetics.

Recovery and Aftercare

Following an arm lift procedure, patients can expect some initial bruising and swelling. Raleigh Plastic Surgery Center provides comprehensive post-operative instructions and pain management to support a smooth recovery process.

Recovery Recommendations

• Follow prescribed pain management protocols
• Attend scheduled follow-up appointments
• Limit arm movements during initial healing
• Wear recommended compression garments
