Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

The skin on the upper arms can begin to hang as a result of aging or significant weight loss. An arm lift (brachioplasty) can restore the arms to a thinner, tighter, more youthful appearance. Top Salisbury plastic surgeons at Peninsula Plastic Surgery have extensive experience performing successful arm lift procedures.

Goals of Arm Lift Surgery

• Achieve thinner, more attractive arms with tighter skin
• Enhance muscle definition in the arms
• Boost self-confidence when revealing upper arms

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift

• Individuals with excess arm skin from weight loss, aging, or surgical procedures
• Patients with persistent fat deposits in the upper arm area
• Those who have maintained a stable body weight

Consultation Process

During your consultation, the surgical team will devote significant time to understanding your individual goals and needs. A comprehensive physical examination will help determine the most appropriate surgical approach for your arm lift procedure.

Surgical Technique

Peninsula Plastic Surgery performs brachioplasty on an outpatient basis using general anesthesia. Incisions are strategically placed on the inner arm surfaces to minimize visible scarring. Excess skin and fat are carefully removed to create a more contoured arm appearance.

Recovery and Results

Patients can typically return home the same day with minimal discomfort. Swelling and bruising subside within 2-3 weeks, with most individuals resuming normal activities within two weeks post-surgery. The results of an arm lift are generally long-lasting when combined with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Long Do Arm Lift Results Last?

Results are typically permanent, provided patients maintain a stable weight and follow a healthy lifestyle. Natural aging may gradually affect skin elasticity over time.

What Should I Expect During Recovery?

Patients should follow post-operative instructions carefully, which include wearing compression garments, managing surgical sites, and attending follow-up appointments to monitor healing progress.
