Understanding Arm Lift Surgery
An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to reshape and contour the upper arms by removing excess skin and fat. This transformative procedure addresses common aesthetic concerns such as loose skin and unwanted arm "wings" that often develop with aging or significant weight loss.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate?
Potential arm lift candidates typically include individuals who:
- Are unhappy with excess upper arm skin or fat
- Are in good overall medical health
- Have reached a stable body weight
- Have experienced significant weight loss resulting in skin laxity
- Do not use nicotine products
Surgical Approach
Dr. Brown carefully assesses each patient's unique anatomy to determine the most appropriate surgical technique. Depending on individual needs, the procedure may involve:
- Direct skin removal
- Liposuction for fat reduction
- Combination of techniques for optimal contouring
Procedure Details
The arm lift is performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Brown meticulously removes excess skin and fat while tightening supportive tissue to create a smoother, more defined arm contour. Incision placement and length depend on the extent of skin removal required.
