UNDERSTANDING ARM LIFT SURGERY

Excess loose skin on the upper arms can occur due to aging, genetics,
or significant weight loss. While exercise helps improve muscle tone,
it may not fully correct skin elasticity concerns. An arm lift, or
brachioplasty, removes excess skin, fat, and tissue from the elbow to
the armpit, reshaping the upper arm contours.

REASONS FOR ARM LIFT SURGERY

 	* Desire for shapely and well-defined upper arms
	* Improve upper arm to forearm proportion
	* Address hygiene issues related to excess skin
	* Enhance physical comfort and appearance

BENEFITS OF ARM LIFT PROCEDURE

 	* Reduces sagging skin and excess fat
	* Smooths wrinkled or crepey skin texture
	* Enhances tone and upper arm contour
	* Improves self-confidence

ARM LIFT PROCEDURE DETAILS IN ASHBURN

Dr. Larry Lickstein performs brachioplasty as an outpatient procedure
under general anesthesia. The surgical approach involves making an
incision along the inside of the upper arm. Liposuction may be used to
remove additional fat, creating optimal arm contours. Absorbable
sutures close the incisions, and a compression garment supports
healing.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Most patients experience reduced swelling and discomfort within one
week. Dr. Lickstein provides personalized post-operative instructions
to ensure optimal healing. Patients are advised to arrange
transportation and assistance for the initial recovery period.

CANDIDACY FOR ARM LIFT SURGERY

Ideal candidates for arm lift surgery are non-smokers at a stable,
healthy weight with good overall health. The procedure is suitable for
individuals seeking to address excess skin and improve upper arm
appearance.

COMBINATION PROCEDURES

Arm lift surgery can be combined with other body contouring procedures
such as tummy tuck, body lift, or as part of a comprehensive mommy
makeover.

ARM LIFT IN ASHBURN, VA | LARRY H. LICKSTEIN, MD, FACS

UNDERSTANDING ARM LIFT SURGERY

Weight fluctuations and natural aging can cause loose, sagging arm
skin due to decreased skin elasticity. At Larry H. Lickstein, MD,
FACS, arm lift surgery, or brachioplasty, reshapes the upper arms to
create more slender and toned contours.

HOW ARM LIFT SURGERY WORKS

Arm lift surgery is a body contouring procedure designed to remove
excess skin and fat from the upper arms. When significant fatty tissue
is present, liposuction may be incorporated to enhance results.

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia as an outpatient
surgery. Typically, an incision is made on the underside of the arm,
between the armpit and inner elbow. Patients with mild sagging might
be candidates for a "mini arm lift" with a smaller incision.

KEY SURGICAL STEPS

 	* Remove excess fat deposits
	* Excise extra skin
	* Tighten underlying tissues
	* Close incision with precise sutures

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Post-surgery, patients receive a compression garment to aid healing.
Patients must avoid lifting arms overhead and performing strenuous
activities for several weeks. Once swelling subsides, patients can
enjoy slimmer, tighter upper arms.

BENEFITS OF ARM LIFT SURGERY

 	* Increased self-confidence
	* Ability to wear sleeveless clothing
	* Elimination of "bat wing" skin
	* Reduction of physical discomfort from excess skin

CANDIDACY FOR ARM LIFT

Ideal candidates are in good general health, bothered by upper arm
skin laxity, and have maintained a stable weight. Patients should be
free from medical conditions that could impair wound healing.

POTENTIAL RISKS AND CONSIDERATIONS

While surgical risks exist, choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon
minimizes complications. Common temporary side effects include
swelling and pain. Rare potential risks involve infection or temporary
numbness.
