BRACHIOPLASTY (UPPER ARM LIFT) SAN DIEGO, CA | ROBERT KEARNEY, MD,
FACS

CANDIDATE CRITERIA FOR UPPER ARM LIFT

Dr. Kearney recommends an upper arm lift for patients who have:

 	* Loose, excess, or sagging skin on upper arms resistant to diet and
exercise
	* Unsightly excess skin on upper arms due to significant weight loss

PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

The primary goal of an upper arm lift, or brachioplasty, is to
eliminate excess skin and fat from the upper arms, creating a more
streamlined and youthful appearance. During the procedure, Dr. Kearney
makes an incision from the armpit to the elbow to remove unwanted
tissue.

SURGICAL DETAILS

 	* Performed under general anesthesia
	* Incision strategically placed on the inside of the arm
	* Patients typically return home the same day with a compression
garment

RECOVERY PROCESS

Most patients can expect a straightforward recovery with minimal
disruption to their daily routine. Typically, patients can return to
work within one week and resume normal activities within 3-4 weeks.

RECOVERY TIMELINE

 	* Return to work: Approximately 1 week post-surgery
	* Resume normal activities: 3-4 weeks
	* Swelling and bruising reduction: 3-4 weeks
	* Scar fading: 6-18 months

POTENTIAL RISKS AND CONSIDERATIONS

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

 	* Infection
	* Fluid accumulation
	* Excessive bleeding
	* Anesthetic complications

POST-PROCEDURE CARE

Dr. Kearney provides comprehensive post-operative instructions to
minimize risks and promote optimal healing. This includes wearing
compression garments and following specific activity restrictions.

UPPER ARM LIFT (BRACHIOPLASTY) IN FRESNO, CA | CARL ASKREN, MD

UNDERSTANDING UPPER ARM LIFT SURGERY

Aging and weight fluctuations can cause excess fat and sagging skin in
the upper arms of both men and women. While liposuction can help some
patients by removing fat and achieving mild skin tightening, patients
with severely drooping skin require surgical intervention.

BRACHIOPLASTY PROCEDURE DETAILS

A brachioplasty, or upper arm lift, is a surgical procedure designed
to reshape the upper arm. The comprehensive treatment typically
involves:

 	* Surgical skin removal
	* Potential liposuction for fat reduction
	* Incision from elbow to armpit

SURGICAL APPROACH

The upper arm lift procedure is performed under general anesthesia and
takes approximately two hours. Patients should understand that while
the surgical scar will fade with time, it remains permanent.

CANDIDATE CONSIDERATIONS FOR UPPER ARM LIFT

Ideal candidates for brachioplasty include individuals experiencing
significant skin laxity or excess fat in the upper arm region that
cannot be addressed through diet and exercise alone.

UPPER ARM LIFT IN HAYWARD, CA

UNDERSTANDING UPPER ARM COSMETIC CONCERNS

Weight fluctuations, aging, and genetic factors can cause significant
changes in upper arm appearance. The underside of the upper arm can
develop droopy, sagging skin that appears loose and full due to excess
skin and localized fat deposits.

WHAT IS AN UPPER ARM LIFT?

An upper arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed
to address aesthetic concerns in the upper arm region. This procedure
reduces excess skin and underlying fat between the underarm and elbow,
reshaping the arm to create smoother skin and more natural contours.

KEY BENEFITS OF UPPER ARM LIFT

 	* Reduces drooping and sagging skin
	* Eliminates localized fat deposits
	* Creates more toned and proportionate arm appearance
	* Enhances self-confidence
	* Expands fashion clothing options

PROCEDURE LIMITATIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS

While fitness can improve muscle tone, it cannot address excess skin
that has lost elasticity or weakened underlying tissues. An arm lift
provides a surgical solution to these concerns, with a trade-off of a
resulting scar on the inside of the upper arm.

CANDIDACY FOR UPPER ARM LIFT

Ideal candidates are individuals with significant skin laxity in the
upper arm region who have maintained a stable weight and are in good
overall health. A comprehensive consultation with Plastic Surgery &
MediSpa's board-certified plastic surgeons will determine individual
suitability.
