Arm Lift Granite Bay, CA | Scott Green, MD

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

Many individuals struggle with excess fatty tissue and loose skin in their upper arms, which can persist despite rigorous exercise and diet. An arm lift, or brachioplasty, provides a surgical solution to achieve more slender and attractive arm contours. Dr. Scott Green specializes in customized arm lift procedures that address individual aesthetic goals in Granite Bay and Sacramento.

Causes of Flabby Arms

• Genetic predisposition
• Age-related muscle mass reduction
• Significant weight loss
• Lack of targeted exercise

Comprehensive Arm Lift Techniques

Dr. Green offers multiple surgical approaches tailored to each patient's unique anatomy. Depending on the extent of skin laxity and fatty tissue, procedures may include liposuction, skin excision, or a combination of techniques. The goal is to create smoother, more contoured upper arms with minimal scarring.

Surgical Procedure Details

Arm lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The procedure involves strategically placed zigzag incisions to remove excess skin and fat, followed by careful tissue reshaping and skin redraping. Incision locations are meticulously planned to minimize visible scarring.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can typically expect a recovery period of 2-6 weeks. A compression garment is used to support healing and minimize swelling. Most patients return to work within 1-2 weeks, with gradual resumption of normal activities under medical guidance.

Ideal Candidates

• Individuals with persistent upper arm skin laxity
• Patients who have achieved significant weight loss
• Those seeking improved arm contour and definition

Combination Procedures

Arm lift surgery can be effectively combined with other body contouring procedures such as tummy tuck or thigh lift. Dr. Green can develop a comprehensive surgical plan to address multiple aesthetic concerns in a single intervention.

Consultation and Personalized Approach

Dr. Scott Green emphasizes the importance of a thorough, personalized consultation. Each patient receives a detailed assessment to determine the most appropriate surgical strategy for their individual needs and aesthetic goals.
