Arm Lift Rochester, MN | Steven Jacobson

Understanding the Arm Lift Procedure

An arm lift procedure, or brachioplasty, is recommended for women and men experiencing excess arm skin, laxity, and fat due to weight loss or aging. The surgical technique enhances and contours the upper arm by removing redundant skin and fat, ultimately restoring confidence in one's appearance.

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift Surgery

The best arm lift candidates are individuals in good overall health who want to correct sagging arm skin. Optimal recovery is experienced by non-smokers or those who quit smoking six weeks before and after the procedure.

Consultation and Preparation

During the consultation, Dr. Jacobson will:

• Perform a comprehensive medical evaluation
• Review medical history
• Discuss goals and realistic expectations
• Provide specialized pre-operative instructions

Recovery Considerations

Patients should plan for:

• 1-2 weeks off work
• Avoiding heavy lifting for six weeks
• Arranging transportation and care assistance
• Preparing home environment for comfortable recovery

Procedure Details

The arm lift procedure involves strategically placed incisions to remove excess tissue. While scarring is inevitable, these scars will fade and become less visible over time. Dr. Jacobson carefully plans incision placement to minimize visible scarring.

Recovery Expectations

Recovery varies by individual but typically involves:

• Mild discomfort managed through prescribed pain management
• Compression garments to minimize swelling
• Gradual return to normal activities within 4-6 weeks

Important Considerations

• Insurance does not typically cover arm lift procedures
• Cost varies based on individual surgical requirements
• Results are permanent with proper maintenance
