Arm Lift in Boca Raton, FL by DR. RENATO V. OCAMPO
Arm Lift Procedure at DR. RENATO V. OCAMPO Plastic Surgery
What is an Arm Lift?
An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure that targets and reduces excess sagging or drooping skin in the upper arm area. This surgery tightens the supporting tissues and removes localized fat pockets, resulting in a more defined and contoured appearance.
An arm lift can address:
- Sagging skin under the arm
- Fat pockets drooping towards the ground
Why Consider an Arm Lift?
As we age, skin may lose elasticity, leading to sagging in the upper arm area. Extreme weight fluctuations or genetic factors can also contribute to this issue. If exercise has not achieved the desired results, an arm lift procedure may be an option for patients who wish to improve the appearance of their arms.
The Arm Lift Procedure Process
DR. RENATO V. OCAMPO performs arm lift surgery under general anesthesia. The procedure is tailored to each individual patient's needs and desired outcomes. The process typically involves:
- Making incisions based on the extent of changes needed
- Eliminating excess skin and fat
- Tightening supportive tissue
- Closing incisions with sutures
Patients can expect some swelling and bruising post-surgery. However, the results of tighter and smoother upper arms are often visible almost immediately, with continued improvement as healing progresses.
