 

ARM LIFT (BRACHIOPLASTY) OAKLAND, CA | PLASTIC SURGERY - MICHAEL G.
CEDARS, MD, FACS, INC.

UNDERSTANDING UPPER ARM SKIN CONCERNS

Sagging upper arms typically result from excess fat, stretched skin,
or a combination of both. Treatment options vary depending on the
extent of skin laxity and individual patient needs.

TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR ARM SKIN LAXITY

 	* Liposuction: Effective for removing excess fat with minimal skin
concerns
	* SmartLipo: Laser-assisted skin tightening for moderate skin laxity
	* Surgical Brachioplasty: Comprehensive solution for significant skin
excess

COMPREHENSIVE ARM LIFT SURGICAL APPROACH

A surgical arm lift removes both excess fat and skin, creating a
sleeker, more contoured arm profile. Dr. Cedars strategically places
the incision slightly on the front side of the arm, extending from
armpit to elbow for optimal shaping and tightening.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE HIGHLIGHTS

 	* Performed under local anesthesia with light sedation
	* Minimally invasive office-based procedure
	* Firm elastic sleeve used for proper healing support

RECOVERY AND HEALING PROCESS

Most patients return to office work within 7-10 days. Full scar
strength develops in 6 weeks, with scar appearance continuing to
improve over approximately one year. Dr. Cedars works closely with
patients to maintain their fitness and conditioning during recovery.

TYPICAL RECOVERY TIMELINE

 	* First 2-4 days: Mild pain management with prescribed medication
	* 1 week: Return to light office work
	* 6 weeks: Scar tissue gains full strength
	* 12 months: Optimal scar appearance
