ARM LIFT GRAND RAPIDS, MI | DR. SHANNON D. ARMSTRONG, MD

WHAT IS AN ARM LIFT (BRACHIOPLASTY)?

An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to
lift and tighten loose skin in the upper arms, resulting in a firmer,
more youthful contour. As the body ages, skin loses thickness,
elasticity, and adherence to underlying tissues, which becomes
particularly noticeable in the upper arm area.

WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR AN ARM LIFT?

Ideal candidates for an arm lift include individuals who:

 	* Have significant upper arm skin laxity
	* Maintain a stable, healthy weight
	* Are non-smokers
	* Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

ARM LIFT PROCEDURE DETAILS

During a brachioplasty, the surgeon will:

 	* Administer general or local anesthesia
	* Make strategic incisions on the inside or back of the arm
	* Remove excess skin and fat
	* Sculpt and tighten the remaining tissue

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Arm lift recovery typically takes approximately six weeks. Patients
can expect some initial swelling and limited arm mobility. The results
are considered semi-permanent, contingent upon maintaining a stable
weight and healthy lifestyle.

POTENTIAL RISKS

As with any surgical procedure, arm lift surgery involves potential
risks such as:

 	* Bleeding
	* Infection
	* Scarring
	* Changes in skin sensation

BENEFITS OF ARM LIFT SURGERY

Benefits include improved arm contour, reduced skin sagging, enhanced
body proportion, and increased self-confidence in arm appearance.
