BRACHIOPLASTY (ARM LIFT) SAN ANTONIO, TX | ELITE PLASTIC AND
RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY

UNDERSTANDING ARM LIFT SURGERY IN SAN ANTONIO

Though exercise and healthy lifestyle habits are crucial for body
transformation, some areas remain challenging to tone. The upper arm
is a common problem area where genetics, natural aging, and
significant weight loss can impact skin elasticity and appearance.

WHAT IS A BRACHIOPLASTY?

A brachioplasty, commonly known as an arm lift, is a surgical
procedure designed to reshape and eliminate excess skin from the upper
arm region. Typically treating the area from the elbow to the armpit,
this procedure can extend to the upper back depending on individual
patient needs.

ARM LIFT CANDIDACY REQUIREMENTS

Elite Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery evaluates potential
candidates based on specific criteria:

 	* Presence of excess loose skin with additional fat in the upper arm
	* No medical conditions that increase surgical risks
	* Stable body weight
	* Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

Most arm lift procedures are outpatient surgeries lasting
approximately two hours. The technique involves making strategic
incisions along the back or inside of the arm, potentially extending
from the elbow to the armpit. Liposuction might be utilized to remove
localized fat deposits before excess skin is carefully trimmed and
repositioned.

POTENTIAL SURGICAL COMPLICATIONS

Like all surgical procedures, arm lifts carry inherent risks.
Potential side effects might include:

 	* Post-operative bruising and swelling
	* Temporary loss of arm sensation
	* Potential scarring
	* Asymmetrical healing

RECOVERY AND AFTERCARE

Post-surgical recovery involves wearing compression garments to
minimize swelling. Patients can typically perform basic daily
activities, though vigorous upper body exercises will be restricted
during initial healing periods. Drainage tubes might be temporarily
placed to prevent fluid accumulation.

COST CONSIDERATIONS

Brachioplasty costs in San Antonio vary based on individual surgical
requirements. Typical expenses include surgeon's fees, surgical
facility costs, and anesthesia charges. Elite Plastic and
Reconstructive Surgery recommends discussing comprehensive pricing
during personalized consultations.

ABOUT ARM LIFT PROCEDURES

An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is an advanced cosmetic surgical
procedure designed to address excess skin and lack of definition in
the upper arms. This transformative treatment effectively removes
loose skin and fat, creating a more toned and contoured arm
appearance.

TYPES OF ARM LIFT TECHNIQUES

MINI ARM LIFT

Ideal for patients with mild skin laxity, the mini arm lift involves a
small circular incision beneath the armpit. This technique minimizes
scarring while providing subtle arm contouring.

FULL ARM LIFT

Recommended for patients with moderate skin sagging, the full arm lift
utilizes two strategic incisions from the armpit to the elbow. This
approach allows comprehensive skin and fat removal for enhanced arm
definition.

EXTENDED ARM LIFT

Designed for patients with significant skin laxity, the extended arm
lift includes incisions extending towards the chest. This technique
often incorporates liposuction to remove excess fat and provide
comprehensive body contouring.

BENEFITS OF ARM LIFT SURGERY

 	* Improve arm skin tightness and definition
	* Address skin laxity from aging or weight loss
	* Enhance body confidence
	* Restore arm proportions

CANDIDACY FOR ARM LIFT

healthy weight and have realistic expectations about surgical
outcomes. Patients must be in good overall health and committed to
post-surgical recovery guidelines.

PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

outpatient procedure. The surgical technique involves carefully
removing excess skin and fat while reinforcing underlying tissue
structure to create a more toned appearance.

results becoming visible after swelling subsides. Maintaining a
consistent weight and healthy lifestyle will help preserve the
surgical outcomes.

ARM LIFT IN SAN ANTONIO, TX

UNDERSTANDING ARM LIFT SURGERY

Aging and significant weight loss can cause skin to lose elasticity,
resulting in loose, hanging skin on the upper arms—often referred to
as "bat wings". Dr. Michael Ablavsky performs brachioplasty in San
Antonio, Texas, to remove excess skin and create a toned, firm arm
appearance.

CANDIDACY FOR ARM LIFT SURGERY

Ideal arm lift candidates include individuals who:

 	* Have maintained a stable weight for several months
	* Possess good overall health
	* Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
	* Are committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle

ARM LIFT SURGICAL TECHNIQUES

MINI-BRACHIOPLASTY

This technique involves a limited incision on the proximal arm. It is
most suitable for patients with minimal to moderate excess tissue and
skin that retains significant elasticity.

FULL ARM LIFT

A comprehensive arm lift involves an incision running from the armpit
to the elbow. Dr. Ablavsky removes excess tissue and skin before
carefully suturing the incision. This approach is recommended for
patients with significant skin laxity.

ARM LIFT VS. LIPOSUCTION

The choice between arm lift and liposuction depends on individual arm
characteristics, including skin redundancy, fat distribution, and
patient expectations. Some patients may benefit from a combination of
both procedures to achieve optimal results.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Arm lift recovery requires careful management. Patients must limit arm
movement and avoid raising arms above shoulder height for
approximately 14 days. Detailed post-operative instructions help
enhance healing and minimize potential complications.

SURGICAL SPECIFICS

 	* Anesthesia Type: General
	* Procedure Duration: 2-3 hours
	* Recovery Time: Approximately 2 weeks for non-strenuous work
