ARM LIFT (BRACHIOPLASTY) LOUISVILLE, KY | CALOAESTHETICS PLASTIC
SURGERY CENTER

UNDERSTANDING ARM LIFT SURGERY

Regular exercise helps sculpt upper arm muscles, but lax, sagging skin
can persist despite fitness efforts. CaloAesthetics Plastic Surgery
Center offers arm lift surgery to help patients from Louisville and
surrounding areas achieve firmer, more confident upper arm contours.

ARM LIFT CANDIDATES

Significant weight loss and natural aging can leave individuals with
excess upper arm skin that has lost elasticity. Ideal arm lift
candidates are:

 	* Nonsmokers
	* At or near ideal body weight
	* Stable weight for approximately 6 months

SURGICAL APPROACH

CaloAesthetics typically performs arm lift surgery as an outpatient
procedure. The surgeons place incisions along the underside of the
upper arm, which provides superior results by:

 	* Utilizing thicker skin that reduces tension during healing
	* Minimizing visible scarring
	* Positioning incisions out of direct view

PROCEDURE DETAILS

The arm lift procedure involves removing excess skin and potentially
removing fat deposits using liposuction. Fine sutures are used to
close the incision, creating smooth, refined arm contours.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Patients can expect to wear compression garments for 4-6 weeks to
minimize swelling and enhance arm contours. Most patients return to
work within 1-2 weeks, depending on individual healing rates and job
requirements.

NONSURGICAL ALTERNATIVES

For patients with minor skin laxity, CaloAesthetics offers nonsurgical
options:

 	* CoolSculpting® for fat reduction
	* truSculpt® for fat reduction and skin firming
	* EMSCULPT® for muscle toning and fat reduction

COST CONSIDERATIONS

Arm lift procedure costs start at $8,500. Flexible financing options
are available to help patients manage their investment in body
contouring.

ARM LIFT LEXINGTON, KY | DR. STEPHEN A. SCHANTZ, MD

AM I A CANDIDATE FOR AN ARM LIFT?

Patients with unsightly sagging skin on the upper arms due to aging,
genetics, or significant weight loss are ideal candidates for an arm
lift procedure. This surgical intervention effectively addresses
excess skin and helps patients achieve more refined, contoured arm
appearances.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING ARM LIFT SURGERY

Dr. Schantz performs arm lift surgery by making an incision that runs
from the elbow into the armpit. Key surgical characteristics include:

 	* Incision placed in the most inconspicuous inner arm location
	* Strategic placement to minimize visible scarring
	* Comprehensive skin and tissue reshaping

SURGICAL DETAILS AND RECOVERY

The arm lift procedure, known medically as brachioplasty, is performed
as an outpatient surgery under general anesthesia. The entire
operation typically takes approximately 3 hours to complete.

RECOVERY TIMELINE

Post-surgical recovery involves several stages:

 	* Initial upper arm wrapping or elastic sleeve placement
	* Initial healing within 10-14 days
	* Suture removal within 2-3 weeks
	* Gradual reduction of swelling and bruising over 3-4 weeks

POTENTIAL RISKS AND CONSIDERATIONS

While brachioplasty is generally safe, patients should understand
potential surgical risks. Like any surgical procedure, complications
such as bleeding and infection can occur. Dr. Schantz emphasizes
thorough pre-surgical consultation to assess individual risks and
benefits.

PROCEDURAL SAFETY

Most patients report high satisfaction with arm lift results. The
comprehensive evaluation and personalized approach ensure optimal
surgical outcomes and patient safety.
