Brachioplasty (Arm Lift)
What can an Arm Lift do for you?
An Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) has the ability to remove excess skin and fat from the upper arm area, which extends from the elbow to right below the shoulder. Like any type of lift procedure, an arm lift is designed to be used to remove and tighten loose skin that cannot be corrected with diet and exercise. In the case of fatty deposits where the skin is still tight, the doctor may elect to do liposuction which will leave a smaller scar. However, excess skin on the arm can only be removed through an arm lift. This will result in smoother skin and better toning and proportion of the arms.
If you are looking to for tighter and better toned arms, an arm lift may be the right procedure for you.
What to discuss with your surgeon
When thinking about an arm lift it is important to have realistic expectations and to discuss any questions or anxieties with your doctor during the consultation. You should be at a relatively stable weight and not significantly overweight. In addition, it is also important to discuss why you would like to have the surgery, your medical history, including any disease such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, high blood pressure, cardiovascular, or any circulatory disorders. It is also important to discuss surgical history, usage of certain medications, supplements, vitamins, alcohol, tobacco, and drugs. These can all affect surgery, healing, and ultimately your cosmetic outcomes.
