Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) Phoenixville, PA | Dennis T. Monteiro, MD, FACS

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery in Phoenixville

As people age, their appearance changes, often impacting personal confidence and self-esteem. Brachioplasty, commonly known as an arm lift, provides a surgical solution to address sagging upper arm skin. This procedure effectively reduces excess skin and tissue that develops due to weight changes, hereditary factors, or the natural aging process.

Why Consider an Arm Lift in Phoenixville?

Brachioplasty is designed to:

• Reduce sagging skin under the upper arm
• Tighten underlying tissue
• Remove excess fat pockets
• Improve overall arm contour and appearance

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift Surgery

Patients considering brachioplasty typically have:

• Significant skin laxity in the upper arm region
• Good overall health
• Stable body weight
• Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Surgical Procedure Details

Dennis T. Monteiro, MD, FACS performs arm lift surgery using advanced techniques. The procedure can involve intravenous sedation with local anesthesia or general anesthesia, depending on individual patient needs. An incision is strategically made on the inner or back side of the arm, with the length determined by the amount of tissue to be removed.

Recovery and Healing Process

Most patients experience immediate visual improvements following the procedure. Initial swelling and bruising are normal and typically subside within weeks. Patients should plan for:

• One to two weeks of arm rest
• Avoiding intense physical activities for approximately one month
• Following specific post-operative care instructions

Complementary Procedures

Many patients choose to combine brachioplasty with additional body contouring procedures, particularly after significant weight loss. This comprehensive approach can address multiple areas of concern simultaneously.
