Arm Lift in Carlsbad by Dr. Gehaan Dsouza
Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) in Carlsbad, CA
What is an Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)?
An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the upper arms by removing excess sagging skin and fat. Dr. Gehaan Dsouza performs this procedure to tighten and smooth the underlying supportive tissue, defining the shape of the upper arm. It is particularly beneficial for individuals who have lost substantial weight or are dealing with age-related skin laxity.

The Arm Lift Procedure
Dr. Dsouza performs arm lift surgery under general anesthesia in an operating room. The incision length depends on the amount of excess skin and fat being removed, typically extending from the underarm to the elbow. The procedure takes 1-2 hours, and small drains are placed in each arm for about a week post-surgery.
Recovery and Results
Patients usually require 2-4 weeks of recovery before returning to normal activities. Walking is encouraged to promote circulation. Results are apparent almost immediately, with final results revealing gradually over 3-6 months. The outcomes are long-lasting, provided patients maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.

Good candidates for arm lift surgery include individuals who:
- Have excess or stretched skin along the back of the arm
- Are committed to a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet
