Understanding Arm Lift Surgery in Scottsdale

Excess skin from the elbow to the upper arm is a common challenge after significant weight loss or aging. Often referred to as "bat wings," arm lift surgery (brachioplasty) effectively removes hanging skin that cannot be toned through exercise and diet. Forma Plastic Surgery offers advanced arm lift techniques to reshape and rejuvenate your upper arms.

Am I a Candidate for Arm Lift Surgery?

Ideal candidates for arm lift surgery are individuals at or near their ideal body weight with excess, hanging skin on the upper arms. Patients should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes. The procedure is particularly beneficial for those who avoid sleeveless clothing due to loose arm skin.

Surgical Procedure Details

Arm lift surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia. The procedure involves surgically removing excess skin from the elbow to the armpit, potentially incorporating liposuction to achieve optimal contouring. While scarring is inevitable, surgeons at Forma Plastic Surgery carefully place incisions to minimize visibility.

Recovery and Results

Recovery typically requires approximately two weeks of rest and arm elevation. Patients should avoid strenuous activities for 4-5 weeks. The Forma Plastic Surgery team offers comprehensive scar management options, including silicone sheeting and microneedling treatments to minimize surgical marks.

Preparation and Expectations

Successful arm lift surgery requires careful preparation. Patients will receive detailed pre-operative guidelines, which may include quitting smoking, adjusting medications, and obtaining medical clearance. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle is crucial for preserving surgical results.

Exploring Your Options

While surgical arm lift remains the most effective treatment for significant skin removal, Forma Plastic Surgery offers consultations to discuss both surgical and non-surgical body contouring options tailored to individual goals.
