ARM LIFT IN CHEVY CHASE, MD | CHRISTOPHER C. CHANG MD | WASHINGTON DC
BOARD CERTIFIED PLASTIC SURGEON

UNDERSTANDING ARM LIFT SURGERY IN WASHINGTON, D.C.

Dramatic weight loss, aging, and body changes can cause excess fat and
loose skin to develop under the arms, creating an undesirable
"bat-wing" appearance. An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a specialized
surgical procedure designed to reshape and contour the upper arms,
restoring a more toned and proportionate body profile.

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM ARM LIFT SURGERY?

Arm lift surgery is an excellent option for individuals experiencing:

 	* Significant weight loss resulting in excess skin
	* Age-related skin laxity and loss of arm elasticity
	* Undefined arm contours resistant to diet and exercise

PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

Dr. Christopher C. Chang performs arm lift surgery under general
anesthesia or intravenous sedation. The procedure involves
strategically placed incisions to remove excess fat and skin while
reshaping underlying supportive tissues. The goal is to create
smoother, more defined arm contours with minimally visible scarring.

BENEFITS OF ARM LIFT SURGERY

 	* Dramatic reduction of excess arm fat and skin
	* Enhanced upper arm tone and shape
	* Improved body proportion
	* Increased self-confidence
	* Expanded clothing and style options

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE

Dr. Chang customizes each arm lift procedure to the patient's unique
anatomy. Depending on the amount of excess tissue, incisions may be
concealed in the armpit or strategically placed along the inner arm.
Liposuction or surgical excision may be used to remove fat, and
internal sutures help reshape underlying tissues.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Recovery typically spans one to two weeks, with gradual improvements
in arm contour as swelling subsides. Results are long-lasting when
patients maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.

BOARD-CERTIFIED BODY AND FACIAL PLASTIC SURGEON

UNDERSTANDING THE ARM LIFT PROCEDURE

An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to
tighten, lift, and smooth the skin and tissues of the upper arm. Dr.
Sheilah A. Lynch, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Maryland,
specializes in upper arm sculpting for patients across the Eastern
Shore.

ARM LIFT VS. ARM LIPOSUCTION: WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

 	* Arm Lift (Brachioplasty): Focuses on removing excess sagging skin
and attached fat to improve upper arm contour
	* Arm Liposuction: Removes pockets of fat through small incisions
without skin tightening
	* Combined Procedure: Often recommended for comprehensive arm
reshaping

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR ARM LIFT

 	* Excess skin following significant weight loss
	* Loose or sagging arm skin due to aging
	* Fat deposits that don't respond to diet and exercise

THE ARM LIFT PROCEDURE IN CHEVY CHASE

Dr. Lynch performs arm lift surgery under general anesthesia. The
procedure involves an incision from near the elbow into the armpit,
strategically placed to minimize visible scarring. Depending on
individual needs, liposuction may be incorporated to enhance the
overall contour.

 	* Initial healing within 10-14 days
	* Swelling and bruising subsiding over 3-4 weeks
	* Compression garment wear to support healing
	* Final results visible in 2-3 months
