What is an Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)?
An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is crafted to eliminate surplus skin and fat from the upper arm, enhancing its firmness and tightness. The length of arm lift incisions varies based on the individual needs and goals of the patient. The experienced plastic surgeons at Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery can guide you throughout your arm lift decision-making process.
Am I a Suitable Candidate?
A suitable candidate for an arm lift adheres to a healthy diet and exercise regimen, aiming to be within 20% of their ideal body weight while maintaining physical and emotional well-being.
What Should I Anticipate During a Consultation?
Initiating the process involves a consultation with our office. During this session, you will meet with your plastic surgeon to delve into your medical history. Standing before a full-length mirror, you’ll discuss your objectives, allowing the plastic surgeon to strategize for your procedure.
If you opt to proceed with the surgery, a preoperative appointment will be scheduled to provide prescriptions, arrange follow-up visits, review surgical consent, and capture photographs for your medical record. It is crucial for patients to refrain from tobacco use for at least two months before the surgery.
How is an Arm Lift Surgery Performed?
Brachioplasty surgery is exclusively performed in an accredited outpatient or hospital surgery setting, with the patient under the care of a board-certified anesthesiologist, ensuring complete anesthesia.
The surgery takes place while the patient is fully asleep in an accredited operating facility and typically lasts between two and three hours, contingent on the amount of skin being removed.
