 

BRACHIOPLASTY (UPPER ARM LIFT) ORLAND PARK, IL | DAVID DREYFUSS, MD

UNDERSTANDING UPPER ARM LIFT SURGERY

Loose, hanging upper arm skin often results from significant weight
loss, where skin fails to retract naturally. Brachioplasty, or Upper
Arm Lift, is a specialized surgical procedure designed to reduce upper
arm circumference by eliminating excess skin and restoring a toned,
contoured appearance.

PROCEDURE DETAILS

The Upper Arm Lift procedure is performed under general anesthesia and
may include two primary techniques:

 	* Surgical removal of excess skin
	* Liposuction to remove stubborn fat deposits

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Patients can expect a recovery period ranging from two to six weeks.
The procedure enables individuals to feel more confident in sleeveless
clothing and provides a more streamlined arm silhouette.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR BRACHIOPLASTY

Candidates for an Upper Arm Lift typically include individuals who
have:

 	* Experienced significant weight loss
	* Excess, sagging skin on the upper arms
	* Maintained a stable weight
	* Good overall health

UPPER ARM LIFT IN ELMHURST | DR. MICHAEL SALVINO, MD

UNDERSTANDING UPPER ARM LIFT SURGERY

Weight fluctuations, aging, and heredity can cause significant changes
in upper arm appearance, often resulting in a droopy, sagging texture.
While fitness can improve muscle tone, it cannot address excess skin
with reduced elasticity or localized fat deposits.

WHAT IS AN UPPER ARM LIFT?

An Upper Arm Lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a surgical
procedure designed to reshape the underside of the upper arm. This
procedure targets:

 	* Reducing excess sagging skin between the underarm and elbow
	* Tightening underlying supportive tissues
	* Removing localized fat deposits

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR ARM LIFT SURGERY

Suitable candidates for an Upper Arm Lift typically include:

 	* Adults with stable body weight
	* Individuals with good overall health
	* Non-smokers
	* Patients with realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

THE UPPER ARM LIFT PROCEDURE

During the procedure, Dr. Salvino will make an incision on the inside
of the upper arm. The length and pattern of the incision depend on the
amount of excess skin and the patient's individual anatomy. Underlying
tissues are tightened, excess skin is removed, and the arm is reshaped
to create a smoother, more toned appearance.

POTENTIAL RISKS AND CONSIDERATIONS

Like all surgical procedures, an Upper Arm Lift carries potential
risks including scarring, changes in skin sensation, and the
possibility of asymmetric contours. Dr. Salvino will discuss these
details comprehensively during your consultation.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Recovery typically involves initial swelling and bruising, with most
patients returning to light activities within a few days. Full healing
can take several weeks, and patients are advised to follow
post-operative instructions carefully to ensure optimal results.

LONG-TERM OUTCOMES

Results from an Upper Arm Lift are generally long-lasting, provided
patients maintain a stable weight and overall fitness. While some
natural aging will occur, the improved arm contour should remain
relatively consistent.
