UNDERSTANDING BRACHIOPLASTY: ARM LIFT SURGERY EXPLAINED

Brachioplasty, commonly known as arm lift surgery, is a specialized
surgical procedure designed to address loose, hanging skin on the
upper arms. This condition, often referred to as "batwings," can
result from significant weight loss, hormonal changes, or genetic
predisposition.

WHAT CAUSES UPPER ARM SKIN LAXITY?

Skin elasticity naturally decreases with age and after substantial
weight loss. While exercise can improve muscle tone, it typically
cannot effectively tighten loose skin. Brachioplasty offers a
definitive solution by removing excess skin and fat while tightening
supportive tissues.

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

Brachioplasty is performed under general anesthesia and typically
takes up to three hours. The surgeon makes an incision on the
underside of the upper arm to minimize visible scarring. During the
procedure, excess skin and fat are carefully removed, and the
remaining tissue is sculpted to create a smoother, more contoured
appearance.

POTENTIAL BENEFITS OF ARM LIFT SURGERY

 	* Removal of droopy, excess arm skin
	* Improved upper arm contour and shape
	* Enhanced self-confidence
	* Expanded clothing options
	* Minimal, strategically placed scarring

CANDIDACY FOR BRACHIOPLASTY

Ideal candidates for arm lift surgery are healthy individuals bothered
by loose, hanging skin on the upper arms. During a personalized
consultation, Dr. Contogiannis will evaluate your specific anatomy and
aesthetic goals to determine if brachioplasty is the right procedure
for you.

RECOVERY AND AFTERCARE

Recovery from brachioplasty typically spans several weeks. Patients
can expect some initial swelling and bruising, which will gradually
resolve. Most individuals are advised to rest at home for
approximately two weeks and follow specific post-operative
instructions provided by Dr. Contogiannis.

COMPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES

For comprehensive body contouring, brachioplasty can be combined with
procedures like tummy tuck or thigh lift to achieve more comprehensive
aesthetic results.
