Achieve Toned, Sculpted Arms with Brachioplasty
Brachioplasty (Arm Lift)
An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to contour the upper arms by removing excess sagging skin and, if needed, reducing fat with liposuction.
Many people seek an arm lift after significant weight loss or due to natural aging, which can lead to loose, sagging skin that doesn’t respond to exercise alone. By addressing the area between the underarm and elbow, brachioplasty provides a firmer, more sculpted look that enhances arm contours and restores a sense of proportion to the upper body.
Procedure Overview
During the arm lift procedure, an incision is made along the inner arm or back of the arm, carefully positioned to minimize visibility. The length and placement of the incision depend on the amount of skin to be removed and the desired outcome. For patients with minimal fat, a “mini” brachioplasty may be an option, while those with more significant contouring needs might require a standard arm lift. The procedure usually takes 2-4 hours under general anesthesia, ensuring patient comfort throughout the surgery.
Results and Long-Term Benefits
The results of an arm lift are long-lasting, particularly when supported by a balanced diet and regular exercise. While natural aging may affect firmness over time, most patients enjoy a more youthful arm contour for years.
Recovery Process
Recovery from an arm lift typically spans several weeks. Most patients can resume light activities within 1-2 weeks, though full physical activity, including heavy lifting and exercise, is advised only after 6-8 weeks. During recovery, mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising are normal and managed with prescribed pain medications. Compression garments may be recommended to minimize swelling and support healing.
Ideal candidates
- Individuals with Excess Skin: Those with loose or sagging upper arm skin, often due to weight loss or aging.
- Stable Weight: For best results, candidates should be near their goal weight, as significant weight fluctuations can impact the outcome.
- Realistic Expectations: Candidates should understand the procedure’s limitations and be committed to maintaining results with a healthy lifestyle.
