Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) Louisville, KY | CaloAesthetics Plastic Surgery Center

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

Regular exercise helps sculpt upper arm muscles, but lax, sagging skin can persist despite fitness efforts. CaloAesthetics Plastic Surgery Center offers arm lift surgery to help patients from Louisville and surrounding areas achieve firmer, more confident upper arm contours.

Arm Lift Candidates

Significant weight loss and natural aging can leave individuals with excess upper arm skin that has lost elasticity. Ideal arm lift candidates are:

• Nonsmokers
• At or near ideal body weight
• Stable weight for approximately 6 months

Surgical Approach

CaloAesthetics typically performs arm lift surgery as an outpatient procedure. The surgeons place incisions along the underside of the upper arm, which provides superior results by:

• Utilizing thicker skin that reduces tension during healing
• Minimizing visible scarring
• Positioning incisions out of direct view

Procedure Details

The arm lift procedure involves removing excess skin and potentially removing fat deposits using liposuction. Fine sutures are used to close the incision, creating smooth, refined arm contours.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect to wear compression garments for 4-6 weeks to minimize swelling and enhance arm contours. Most patients return to work within 1-2 weeks, depending on individual healing rates and job requirements.

Nonsurgical Alternatives

For patients with minor skin laxity, CaloAesthetics offers nonsurgical options:

• CoolSculpting® for fat reduction
• truSculpt® for fat reduction and skin firming
• EMSCULPT® for muscle toning and fat reduction

Cost Considerations

Arm lift procedure costs start at $8,500. Flexible financing options are available to help patients manage their investment in body contouring.
