Understanding Arm Lift Surgery (Brachioplasty)

Arm lift surgery is a specialized procedure designed to remove excess or loose skin from the upper arms, improving body contour and enhancing patient confidence. The surgical technique addresses skin laxity typically resulting from significant weight loss or natural aging processes.

Surgical Approach

Brachioplasty involves a carefully placed incision extending from the armpit to the elbow along the inner arm surface. While the surgical scar is noticeable initially, it typically becomes less conspicuous over time. Most patients find the improved arm shape outweighs potential scarring concerns.

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift Surgery

• Individuals with loose, hanging skin in upper arms following substantial weight loss
• Older patients experiencing skin elasticity reduction
• Patients seeking improved arm contour and clothing fit

Procedure Considerations

Not all patients are ideal arm lift candidates. Those with excess arm fat without significant skin laxity might benefit more from alternative procedures like liposuction. A comprehensive consultation determines the most appropriate treatment strategy.

Surgical Details

• Anesthesia: General anesthesia
• Typical Price Range: $7,000 - $10,000
• Procedure Location: Outpatient surgical center

Recovery Expectations

Patients typically experience mild swelling and tightness for 1-2 weeks. Most individuals can resume routine daily activities within 5-10 days and return to full exercise within 2-3 weeks. Complete healing and optimal results are typically achieved around 4-6 weeks post-surgery.
