Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) Thornton, CO | Dr. Nathan Roesner

What is Brachioplasty?

Brachioplasty, commonly known as an arm lift, is a surgical procedure designed to tighten loose, sagging skin and remove excess fat deposits in the upper arm. This transformative procedure addresses aesthetic concerns that develop with age or significant weight loss.

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift Surgery

Dr. Nathan Roesner evaluates potential brachioplasty candidates based on several key criteria:

• Patients in good overall health
• No active diseases or serious pre-existing medical conditions
• Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
• Significant skin laxity or "bat's wing" arm deformity

Surgical Procedure Details

The brachioplasty procedure involves precise surgical techniques to reshape and refine the upper arm contour. During the surgery, Dr. Roesner will:

• Mark and remove excess skin, typically in an ellipse or triangle shape
• Preserve sufficient fat to protect underlying nerves and arteries
• Potentially perform complementary liposuction for smoother results
• Close the surgical site with careful suturing

Surgical Considerations

Patients should understand that brachioplasty will result in a significant scar running from the elbow to the armpit. While the scar may require adjustments to clothing styles, most patients find the benefits of improved arm contour outweigh this consideration.

Preparation and Recovery

Dr. Nathan Roesner provides comprehensive pre-operative guidance, including:

• Detailed medical history review
• Complete physical examination
• Specific pre-surgical instructions
• Recommendations for post-operative care

Surgical Facilities

Dr. Roesner performs brachioplasty procedures at accredited medical facilities, including North Suburban Medical Center, Rose Medical Center, and St. Anthony Hospital. Most procedures are completed on an outpatient basis.

Anesthesia and Comfort

Patient comfort is a top priority. General anesthesia is typically used, ensuring patients remain completely asleep during the entire procedure.
