ARM LIFT (BRACHIOPLASTY) CHESTER, NJ | WEINSTEIN PLASTIC & AMBULATORY
SURGERY CENTER

UNDERSTANDING BRACHIOPLASTY SURGERY

Brachioplasty, commonly known as an arm lift, is a surgical procedure
designed to remove loose, hanging skin on the underside of the upper
arm. This treatment is particularly beneficial for patients
experiencing skin laxity due to aging, significant weight loss, or
weight fluctuations.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR ARM LIFT SURGERY

Candidates for brachioplasty typically demonstrate the following
characteristics:

 	* Excessive hanging skin and/or fat resistant to diet and exercise
	* Stable body weight
	* Non-smokers
	* Overall good health with no major medical complications
	* Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

The brachioplasty procedure involves making an incision along the
inside of the upper arm, extending from the underarm to the elbow.
Depending on the patient's specific needs, excess fat is removed
through direct excision or liposuction. The underlying supportive
tissue is then tightened using internal absorbable sutures.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUES

Two primary approaches are available:

 	* Standard Brachioplasty: Comprehensive skin and fat removal
	* Minimal-Incision Arm Lift: Less invasive option for patients
requiring minor corrections

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Following brachioplasty, patients can expect temporary swelling and
bruising. Drainage tubes might be placed at the incision site for the
first few days. Compression bandages are typically used to support
proper healing. Initial results are visible immediately, with full
aesthetic outcomes becoming apparent after approximately two weeks.

POTENTIAL RISKS AND CONSIDERATIONS

As with any surgical procedure, brachioplasty carries potential risks,
including:

 	* Temporary or permanent loss of sensation
	* Potential for persistent swelling
	* Risk of nerve or blood vessel damage
	* Potential fluid accumulation
	* Visible surgical scarring
