Arm Lift Munster, IN | Petrungaro Plastic Surgery

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a transformative body contouring procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms. This surgical technique helps patients achieve slender, well-toned arms by addressing loose skin that cannot be improved through diet and exercise.

Who Can Benefit from an Arm Lift?

Candidates for arm lift surgery typically include:

• Adults with significant loose skin in the upper arms
• Individuals with stable body weight
• Patients who have lost substantial weight
• Healthy individuals without medical conditions that impair healing
• Non-smokers with realistic surgical expectations

Arm Lift Procedure Details

Dr. Petrungaro performs arm lift surgery under general anesthesia, with a typical procedure lasting 2-3 hours. The technique involves carefully placed incisions on the inside of the upper arms, customized to each patient's specific anatomy and skin condition.

Surgical Technique

During the procedure, Dr. Petrungaro will:

• Mark precise incision locations
• Remove excess skin and fat
• Perform complementary liposuction if needed
• Reshape underlying tissues
• Close incisions with absorbable stitches

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect immediate changes in arm contour, with continued improvement as postoperative swelling decreases. The final results will become more refined over the subsequent months, revealing slimmer, more defined arms.
