WHAT IS BRACHIOPLASTY?

Brachioplasty, otherwise known as an arm lift, is a cosmetic surgery
designed to remove excess skin and fat deposits that cause arm
drooping and sagging. This procedure tightens the arm for a smoother,
more toned appearance. Houston brachioplasty patients often struggle
with loose hanging skin that persists despite diet and exercise.

BRACHIOPLASTY CANDIDACY

Brachioplasty may be appropriate for individuals who:

 	* Are in overall good health
	* Do not smoke or are willing to stop pre and post-surgery
	* Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
	* Feel self-conscious about excess arm skin
	* Want to improve arm appearance and clothing fit

THE BRACHIOPLASTY PROCEDURE

During the procedure, Dr. Mark Schusterman performs an outpatient
surgery under general anesthesia. The incision placement depends on
the amount of excess skin to be removed. Liposuction may be used to
remove excess fat, and loose skin is carefully excised and closed with
absorbable sutures.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Post-surgical recovery involves wearing a compression garment and
following specific post-operative instructions. Patients can expect
almost immediate results, with swelling and bruising diminishing over
time. Results can last for years with consistent weight maintenance.

RECOVERY GUIDELINES

 	* Sleep with arms elevated to reduce swelling
	* Take sponge baths until drains are removed
	* Plan for 2-3 weeks off work
	* Wait six weeks before resuming regular exercise

COST AND CONSIDERATIONS

Brachioplasty costs typically average around $8,000, depending on
individual surgical requirements. The procedure is considered cosmetic
and is not usually covered by insurance. Financing options are
available to help manage surgical expenses.
