UNDERSTANDING ARM LIFT SURGERY

Excess fat and loose skin often leave a "flabby" appearance on the
upper arms. This area can be challenging to target with diet and
exercise, especially due to skin laxity. Arm lift surgery, or
brachioplasty, eliminates stubborn fat and removes the batwing
appearance through a precise surgical procedure performed under
general anesthesia.

BENEFITS OF ARM LIFT SURGERY

 	* Eliminate loose skin on the arms
	* Create a toned arm appearance
	* Remove excess and flabby skin
	* Improve comfort and confidence in clothing

TYPES OF ARM LIFT PROCEDURES

BRACHIOPLASTY

This procedure involves the excision of skin and fat in the arm, with
an incision stretching from the armpit to the inner elbow.

EXTENDED BRACHIOPLASTY

Similar to standard brachioplasty, but the scar includes removal of
skin in the armpit and along the lateral chest wall. This is
recommended for patients with skin extending into the axilla and chest
area.

ARM LIFT RECOVERY TIMELINE

IMMEDIATELY AFTER SURGERY

Patients should avoid strenuous activities and can typically return to
work after a weekend of healing.

ONE WEEK POST-PROCEDURE

Light activity like walking on a treadmill can be resumed. Heavy
lifting and running are prohibited for 4-5 weeks.

ONE TO TWO MONTHS

Most patients can return to their full routine approximately one month
after the procedure.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Patients can expect a scar from under the armpit to the elbow.
However, for those who have previously avoided wearing short sleeves
due to arm appearance, the surgical scar is often considered a
worthwhile trade-off for improved arm contour.

ARM LIFT SURGERY IN ST. LOUIS: ACHIEVE TONED, SCULPTED ARMS

REGAIN CONFIDENCE WITH ARM LIFT SURGERY

Many patients with loose upper arm skin feel self-conscious about this
area, often resorting to hiding their arms with loose or long-sleeved
clothing. At John H. Hulsen, III, MD's practice, arm lift surgery
(brachioplasty) is offered as an effective solution to address loose
skin and excess fat in the upper arms, resulting in a trimmer and more
toned appearance.

IS AN ARM LIFT RIGHT FOR YOU?

Ideal candidates for arm lift surgery are in good health, non-smokers,
and have limited pinch thickness to the sagging skin. During the
initial consultation, Dr. Hulsen thoroughly evaluates the patient's
overall health, arm condition, and medical history to determine
suitability for the procedure.

THE ARM LIFT PROCEDURE

Arm rejuvenation is typically performed under general anesthesia. The
procedure may involve liposuction to thin tissues, followed by skin
removal through an incision along the lower, inner part, or back of
the arm. Multiple layers of dissolvable sutures are used, and special
dressings are applied to support healing.

RECOVERY AFTER ARM LIFT SURGERY

Patients may experience temporary swelling, tenderness, bruising, or
numbness post-surgery. A compression garment is often recommended to
reduce swelling. Most patients require a two-week break from work,
with a gradual return to normal activities. Strenuous activities and
full arm flexion should be avoided for several weeks to ensure optimal
healing and scar formation.

TRANSFORM YOUR ARMS AND YOUR CONFIDENCE

An arm lift can significantly improve the appearance of your upper
arms, boosting your confidence and expanding your wardrobe options.
