Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) in Boston, MA

Understanding Brachioplasty: Transforming Upper Arm Contours

Brachioplasty, commonly known as an arm lift, is a specialized surgical procedure designed to address excess skin and fat in the upper arm region. No amount of exercise can eliminate stubborn skin laxity, making this procedure an effective solution for patients seeking improved arm aesthetics.

How Brachioplasty Works

During the arm lift procedure, strategic incisions are made either in the armpit or along a concealed area inside the arm. The surgical approach may include:

• Precise fat removal using liposuction techniques
• Surgical excision of loose, excess skin
• Contouring and smoothing of remaining arm tissue

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect a structured recovery process following brachioplasty. Most individuals require approximately one week away from work and should avoid strenuous upper arm activities for four to six weeks.

Expected Recovery Timeline

• 1 week: Initial recovery period
• 4 weeks: Potential cardiovascular exercise resumption
• 6 weeks: Full healing and return to normal activities

Long-Term Arm Lift Outcomes

Brachioplasty results are typically permanent when patients maintain a stable weight. Natural aging may cause slight softening of results, but significant improvements in arm contour and skin tightness will be maintained.

Candidacy for Arm Lift Surgery

Ideal candidates for brachioplasty include individuals with:

• Significant skin laxity in upper arms
• Stable body weight
• Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
