BRACHIOPLASTY (ARM LIFT) MCLEAN, VA | MCLEAN PLASTIC SURGERY - DR.
GLORIA DUDA

UNDERSTANDING ARM LIFT SURGERY IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA

Weight fluctuations, aging, and hereditary factors can cause drooping,
sagging skin on the upper arms, often described as "bat wings". While
exercise can improve muscle tone, it cannot address skin elasticity or
localized fat deposits.

WHAT IS AN ARM LIFT (BRACHIOPLASTY)?

An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to
reshape and contour the upper arms. The procedure reduces excess skin
and fat between the armpit and elbow, creating smoother, more defined
arm contours.

PROCEDURE DETAILS

 	* Surgical removal of excess skin and fat
	* Scar typically placed toward the back of the arm
	* Can be combined with liposuction for enhanced results

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR ARM LIFT SURGERY

McLean Plastic Surgery identifies optimal arm lift candidates based on
several key criteria:

 	* Individuals who have lost significant weight
	* Healthy adults experiencing upper arm skin laxity
	* Patients with stable weight and non-smokers
	* Those maintaining realistic surgical expectations

ARM LIFT TECHNIQUES IN MCLEAN, VA

Dr. Gloria Duda and Dr. Erica Anderson utilize advanced surgical
techniques to address individual patient needs. While liposuction can
remove fatty tissue, an arm lift specifically targets excess skin that
cannot be resolved through exercise or non-surgical treatments.

SURGICAL APPROACH

McLean Plastic Surgery customizes each arm lift procedure, ensuring
precise skin and fat removal with minimal visible scarring. The goal
is to create natural-looking, contoured arms that enhance overall body
proportion.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Patient recovery varies, but most individuals can return to normal
activities within several weeks. The surgical team provides
comprehensive post-operative guidance to ensure optimal healing and
results.

ARM LIFT MCLEAN, VA | DR. BRENT BIRELY | BODY PLASTIC SURGEON

WHAT IS AN ARM LIFT?

An arm lift is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess fat and
loose skin from the upper arms. This treatment addresses the common
concern of "bat wings" - sagging tissue that becomes noticeable in
sleeveless clothing. By removing redundant skin and sculpting the
arm's contour, patients can achieve a more defined and toned
appearance.

surgery. Our experienced team understands that each patient's body is

goals and physical characteristics.

ARM LIFT CANDIDACY

Ideal candidates for an arm lift typically include individuals who
have:

 	* Significant skin laxity in the upper arms
	* Excess fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise
	* Stable body weight
	* Good overall health

BENEFITS OF ARM LIFT SURGERY

 	* Slimmer, more proportional arm contours
	* Reduced skin chafing
	* Improved clothing fit
	* Enhanced body confidence

THE ARM LIFT PROCEDURE

Dr. Birely offers multiple incision techniques for arm lift surgery,
including:

 	* Inner arm incision
	* Posterior arm incision
	* Axillary (armpit) incision

During the procedure, excess skin and fat are carefully removed, and
underlying muscles may be tightened. Liposuction can be used to
further refine arm contours, providing comprehensive body sculpting.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Initial recovery involves temporary swelling and restricted arm
movement. Patients will receive detailed post-operative instructions
to ensure optimal healing. With proper maintenance and a healthy
lifestyle, arm lift results can remain stable for many years.
