FACS

WHAT IS AN UPPER ARM LIFT?

An upper arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a
transformative surgical procedure designed to address excess, sagging
skin on the upper arms. Often referred to as "bat wings," this
condition typically affects individuals experiencing age-related skin
laxity, genetic predisposition, or significant weight loss. Dr. Rafi
Bidros, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Houston, specializes in
removing loose skin and reshaping arm contours to create a firmer,
more toned appearance.

BENEFITS OF HOUSTON UPPER ARM LIFT SURGERY

 	* Eliminates hanging, loose skin on upper arms
	* Improves arm contour and muscle definition
	* Enhances clothing fit and personal confidence
	* Minimizes self-consciousness about arm appearance

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR ARM LIFT IN HOUSTON

Suitable candidates for an upper arm lift typically include
individuals who:

 	* Maintain a stable, healthy body weight
	* Have significant skin laxity in the upper arm region
	* Are in good overall health
	* Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

Dr. Bidros performs upper arm lift surgery using precise techniques
tailored to each patient's specific anatomical needs. Incisions are
strategically placed in the inner or posterior arm to minimize visible
scarring. During the procedure, excess skin is removed, and underlying
tissues may be tightened to achieve optimal arm contour.

PROCEDURE VARIATIONS

 	* Minimal incision techniques for less extensive cases
	* Extended incisions for significant skin removal
	* Optional complementary liposuction for enhanced results

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Upper arm lift recovery typically involves 4-6 weeks of healing.
Patients can expect initial results immediately, with final outcomes
becoming apparent as post-surgical swelling resolves. Dr. Bidros
provides comprehensive post-operative instructions to ensure optimal
healing and results.

POTENTIAL SURGICAL OUTCOMES

While arm lift results are long-lasting, natural aging and significant
weight fluctuations can impact surgical outcomes. Maintaining a stable
weight and healthy lifestyle can help preserve the procedure's
aesthetic improvements.

COST CONSIDERATIONS

The average cost of an upper arm lift in Houston ranges between $7,900
and $9,900. Pricing varies based on individual surgical requirements
and complexity of the procedure.
