 

ARM LIFT (BRACHIOPLASTY) SALEM, OR | EDWIN AUSTIN, MD

UNDERSTANDING BRACHIOPLASTY IN SALEM

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

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR ARM LIFT SURGERY

 	* Patients with excessive hanging skin on upper arms
	* Individuals maintaining a stable body weight
	* Non-smokers with realistic surgical expectations
	* Overall healthy patients without major medical complications

COMPREHENSIVE ARM LIFT PROCEDURE DETAILS

During brachioplasty, Dr. Austin makes strategic incisions along the
inner arm, typically extending from the underarm to the elbow. Excess
fat and skin are carefully removed, and underlying supportive tissues
are tightened using advanced surgical techniques.

SURGICAL APPROACH OPTIONS

 	* Full arm lift with comprehensive skin and fat removal
	* Minimal incision arm lift for patients with minimal excess tissue
	* Performed under general anesthesia or intravenous sedation
	* Procedure duration: 2-4 hours

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Post-surgical recovery involves managing expected swelling and
bruising. Patients can typically return to work within one to two
weeks, with full recovery and final results becoming apparent after
approximately six weeks.

POTENTIAL SURGICAL RISKS

 	* Temporary loss of sensation
	* Potential for permanent swelling
	* Risk of nerve or muscle damage
	* Scarring (which fades over time)

PREPARING FOR YOUR ARM LIFT CONSULTATION

Dr. Austin provides comprehensive consultations to discuss individual
goals, evaluate arm tissue, and determine the most appropriate
surgical approach. Patient education and transparent communication are
prioritized throughout the process.

IMPORTANT CONSULTATION CONSIDERATIONS

 	* Detailed discussion of surgical expectations
	* Thorough medical history review
	* Personalized surgical recommendation
	* Recovery timeline explanation
