Arm Lift Golden, CO | Dr. Andrew Wolfe

Understanding Brachioplasty in Golden, Colorado

At The Center for Cosmetic Surgery, our plastic surgeons perform brachioplasty, commonly known as arm lift surgery, to tuck and tighten unattractive upper arms. This procedure helps patients from metro Denver and Colorado Springs address sagging skin that hangs from the upper arms.

Who is an Ideal Arm Lift Candidate?

The ideal candidate for an arm lift is an individual who experiences:

• Excessive, loose skin on upper arms resistant to diet and exercise
• Significant skin laxity after substantial weight loss
• Desire to improve arm contour and appearance

Arm Lift Procedure Details

The arm lift surgery involves a comprehensive approach to arm contouring:

• Power-assisted liposuction to reduce fat content
• Direct excision of excess skin and underlying fat
• Precise tissue reconstruction to tighten and reshape arms

Surgical Technique and Considerations

The procedure typically requires an incision along the inside of the upper arm, extending from the armpit towards the elbow. Surgeons make every effort to minimize scarring and keep incisions as short as possible.

Recovery and Expectations

Arm lift recovery involves wearing an elastic compression garment for four weeks. Patients can typically:

• Discontinue pain medication after 2-3 days
• Return to non-strenuous work within one week
• Resume unrestricted arm use after six weeks

Anesthesia and Procedure

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist to ensure patient comfort and safety.
