Arm Lift in El Paso | Dr G Image Consultants

Understanding the Arm Lift Procedure in El Paso

An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, addresses loose and excess skin along the underside of the upper arms. This common body contouring procedure is particularly beneficial for patients who have experienced significant weight loss or age-related skin laxity.

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift Surgery

Patients considering an arm lift procedure should meet the following criteria:

• Be in good overall health
• Have excess skin along the upper arm
• Be a non-smoker
• Maintain realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Surgical Approach and Techniques

Dr. G Image Consultants performs arm lift surgery under general anesthesia. The surgical technique varies depending on the extent of skin and fat removal:

• Full Arm Lift: Incision from armpit to elbow along the inner arm
• Mini Arm Lift: Limited incision in armpit and upper arm region

Surgical Procedure Details

During the arm lift, the surgical team will carefully remove excess skin and fat, then reshape the underlying supportive tissues. Strategic incision placement minimizes visible scarring, with sutures placed beneath the skin's surface.

Recovery and Aftercare

Typical recovery for an arm lift procedure requires one to two weeks. Patients can expect limitations in arm movement and may need pain medication during initial healing. Compression garments might be recommended, especially when combined with additional procedures like liposuction.

Arm lift procedures at Dr. G Image Consultants start at $6,000, with final costs varying based on individual surgical requirements. A personalized consultation will provide a comprehensive cost breakdown and discuss potential financing options.
