UPPER ARM LIFT (BRACHIOPLASTY) IN BATON ROUGE, LA

UNDERSTANDING UPPER ARM LIFT SURGERY

An upper arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a
transformative surgical procedure designed to reshape the underside of
the upper arm. This procedure targets excess skin and fat between the
underarm and elbow, creating smoother, more toned arm contours.

WHY CONSIDER AN UPPER ARM LIFT?

Weight fluctuations, aging, and genetics can cause upper arms to
develop a drooping, sagging appearance. While exercise strengthens
underlying muscle tone, it cannot address:

 	* Excess skin with reduced elasticity
	* Weakened underlying tissues
	* Localized fat deposits

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR ARM LIFT SURGERY

Hanemann Plastic Surgery recommends arm lift surgery for individuals
who:

 	* Have significant upper arm skin laxity
	* Maintain a stable, healthy weight
	* Are in good overall health
	* Do not smoke
	* Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

SURGICAL APPROACH AND TECHNIQUE

Arm lift surgery involves carefully planned incisions typically placed
on the inner arm or posterior arm. The specific incision pattern
depends on the amount of excess skin and the patient's unique
anatomical considerations.

PROCEDURAL STEPS

 	* Administration of general anesthesia
	* Precise incision placement
	* Removal of excess skin and fat
	* Tightening of underlying supportive tissue
	* Precise skin closure

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Following surgery, patients can expect initial swelling and bruising.
Results are typically long-lasting, provided patients maintain stable
weight and overall fitness. Scarring is an inevitable part of the
procedure, but will fade over time.

POTENTIAL RISKS AND CONSIDERATIONS

Like all surgical procedures, arm lift surgery carries potential
risks, including:

 	* Scarring
	* Infection
	* Changes in skin sensation
	* Asymmetry

COST CONSIDERATIONS

Arm lift surgery costs vary based on individual surgical requirements.
Factors influencing price include surgeon expertise, procedure
complexity, and geographic location.

UPPER ARM LIFT (BRACHIOPLASTY)

An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure that
reshapes the under portion of the upper arm, from the underarm region
to the elbow. Dr. Michael Hanemann offers this procedure to help
patients achieve smoother, more toned arms.

BENEFITS OF AN UPPER ARM LIFT

	* Reduces excess skin and fat between the underarm and elbow
	* Reshapes the arm for smoother skin and contours
	* Results in a more toned and proportionate appearance

CANDIDATES FOR ARM LIFT SURGERY

Ideal candidates for an arm lift include adults with significant upper
arm skin laxity, those with stable weight, and healthy individuals
without medical conditions that could impair healing. Non-smokers with
realistic expectations are also good candidates.

THE ARM LIFT PROCEDURE

ANESTHESIA

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia or intravenous
sedation.

INCISION

Incisions are typically placed on the inside or back of the arm,
extending from the underarm to just above the elbow. The length
depends on the amount of excess skin to be removed.

TISSUE RESHAPING

Underlying supportive tissue is tightened and reshaped with internal
sutures. Excess skin is then removed, and the remaining skin is
smoothed over the new arm contour.

CLOSING INCISIONS

Incisions are closed with absorbable sutures or stitches that will be
removed within 1-2 weeks after surgery.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Following surgery, patients may have dressings or bandages applied to
their incisions. A compression garment may be used to minimize
swelling. Results are visible almost immediately, though initial
swelling and bruising may obscure the final outcome. The smoother,
tighter contours achieved through brachioplasty are long-lasting,
provided patients maintain a stable weight and general fitness.

RISKS AND SAFETY

As with any surgical procedure, arm lift surgery carries some risks.
These may include scarring, infection, fluid accumulation, and changes
in skin sensation. Dr. Hanemann discusses all potential risks and
complications with patients during their consultation.

COST OF ARM LIFT SURGERY

The cost of an arm lift varies based on the surgeon's experience, type
of procedure, and geographic location. Costs may include the surgeon's
fee, facility costs, anesthesia fees, and post-surgery garments. Most
health insurance does not cover cosmetic surgery or its complications.
