 

ARM LIFT (BRACHIOPLASTY) EAST SYRACUSE, NY | GUILLERMO QUETELL, MD,
FACS

UNDERSTANDING ARM LIFT SURGERY

Brachioplasty, commonly known as an arm lift, is a surgical procedure
designed to reshape the underside of the upper arm, extending from the
underarm region to the elbow. This transformative procedure addresses
aesthetic concerns related to excess skin and localized fat deposits.

WHY CONSIDER AN ARM LIFT?

Weight fluctuations, aging, and genetic factors can cause the upper
arms to develop a drooping, sagging appearance. While exercise can
improve muscle tone, it cannot effectively address excess skin or
weakened underlying tissues.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR ARM LIFT SURGERY

 	* Adults with significant upper arm skin laxity
	* Individuals with stable body weight
	* Healthy patients without medical conditions that impair healing
	* Non-smokers with realistic expectations

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

The arm lift procedure involves strategic incisions typically placed
on the inner or back of the arm. The length and pattern depend on the
amount of excess skin and the surgeon's assessment. Fat reduction may
be accomplished through excision or liposuction techniques.

PROCEDURAL STEPS

 	* Anesthesia administration
	* Precise incision placement
	* Removal of excess skin and fat
	* Tightening of underlying supportive tissue
	* Closure with absorbable sutures

POTENTIAL RISKS AND CONSIDERATIONS

As with any surgical procedure, arm lift surgery carries potential
risks including scarring, infection, changes in skin sensation, and
asymmetry. A comprehensive consultation with Dr. Quetell will address
individual concerns and potential complications.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Patients can expect long-lasting results provided they maintain a
stable weight and overall fitness. Initial swelling and bruising will
subside, revealing smoother, more toned upper arm contours.

POST-SURGICAL CARE

 	* Wear compression garments as directed
	* Follow specific wound care instructions
	* Attend scheduled follow-up appointments
	* Avoid strenuous activities during initial healing
