Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) in Springfield, MO | Shah Plastic Surgery

Understanding the Arm Lift Procedure

An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to tighten and firm saggy upper arms. This transformative treatment addresses skin laxity caused by aging or significant weight loss, removing excess skin to create a toned, youthful arm contour.

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift Surgery

Shah Plastic Surgery recommends arm lift surgery for patients who meet specific criteria:

• Have experienced substantial weight loss
• Maintain a healthy lifestyle with stable weight
• Have upper arm skin that does not respond to exercise or diet

Surgical Procedure Details

Dr. Shah performs arm lift surgery with meticulous precision. The procedure typically involves general anesthesia or oral sedation with local anesthesia. Strategic incisions are made on the inner or back of the arm, allowing for excess skin and fat removal and underlying tissue tightening.

Recovery and Results

Most patients return to work within one to two weeks. Initial swelling and bruising are normal and gradually subside. Patients should avoid strenuous activities for the first two weeks, with walking recommended as the primary form of exercise during recovery.

Long-Term Outcomes
