ARM LIFT (BRACHIOPLASTY) CARMEL, IN | DR. CHRISTINE KELLEY

UNDERSTANDING ARM LIFT SURGERY

As individuals age or experience significant weight loss, upper arm
skin can become loose and flabby, creating discomfort and
self-consciousness. Brachioplasty, commonly known as an arm lift,
removes excess fat and skin to create more youthful and contoured
upper arm appearance.

PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

The arm lift procedure is performed under general anesthesia and
involves strategic incision placement to remove excess skin and fat.
Surgical techniques may include:

 	* Incisions along the back of the upper arm from underarm to elbow
	* Potential liposuction to contour remaining arm tissues
	* Surgical scar placement to minimize visibility

COMPREHENSIVE UPPER BODY LIFT OPTIONS

For patients with significant skin excess, Dr. Christine Kelley may
recommend an expanded upper body lift. This comprehensive approach can
address skin rolls across the back, chest, and underarm areas,
creating more comprehensive body contouring results.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Successful arm lift recovery requires careful adherence to
post-operative instructions. Patients typically:

 	* Resume normal activities within four to six weeks
	* Wear compression garments to reduce swelling
	* Follow specific wound care and elevation instructions

POTENTIAL SURGICAL CONSIDERATIONS

During consultation, Dr. Kelley will discuss potential surgical risks
and individual treatment options. Possible considerations include:

 	* Extent of skin and fat removal
	* Potential for multiple procedures
	* Individual healing and aesthetic goals

SURGICAL RISKS AND CONSIDERATIONS

Potential risks associated with arm lift surgery may include:

 	* Prolonged numbness or tingling in arms and fingers
	* Potential wound healing complications
	* Possible asymmetry or scarring
	* Persistent post-surgical discomfort

ARM LIFT CARMEL, IN | BRUCE W. VAN NATTA, MD (INSIDE MERIDIAN PLASTIC
SURGERY CENTER)

UNDERSTANDING ARM LIFT SURGERY

An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure
designed to remove excess skin and fat in the upper arms. Many
patients experience sagging arm tissue due to weight loss, aging, or
genetic factors. This procedure can dramatically improve body contour
and boost self-confidence.

SURGICAL OPTIONS FOR ARM CONTOURING

Dr. Bruce Van Natta offers two primary arm lift techniques for
Indianapolis patients:

 	* Traditional Surgical Arm Lift: Ideal for patients with significant
skin laxity
	* BodyTite Procedure: Best for patients with mild skin looseness

SURGICAL ARM LIFT DETAILS

The traditional arm lift involves an incision from the armpit to the
elbow, strategically placed on the inner arm to minimize visible
scarring. This technique effectively removes excess skin and can be
combined with liposuction to enhance overall arm contour.

BODYTITE ARM CONTOURING

A minimally invasive option, BodyTite uses radio frequency technology
to tighten skin and reduce fat. This procedure creates smaller scars
similar to liposuction and requires minimal downtime.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Recovery varies depending on the chosen procedure. BodyTite offers
minimal downtime, while a surgical arm lift requires approximately 1-2
days of initial recovery. Patients can expect:

 	* Bruising and swelling for the first two weeks
	* Complete swelling resolution in 3-6 months
	* Immediate visible improvement in arm contour

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

Patients should understand that skin laxity cannot be corrected
through exercise alone. Muscle tone does not address excess skin above
the muscle, making surgical intervention the most effective solution
for significant arm skin concerns.
