Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) Little Rock, AZ | English Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery Center

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to reduce and reshape the upper arm from the armpit to the elbow. The primary goal is to address excess skin and improve overall arm contour through strategic surgical techniques.

Surgical Approach

The incision placement for an arm lift depends on the location and extent of excess skin. Potential incision sites include:

• Armpit area for upper one-third arm excess
• Inner arm surface
• Back of the arm

Candidacy Requirements

Ideal candidates for arm lift surgery include healthy individuals who meet specific criteria:

• Maintain a normal body weight
• Experience upper arm skin laxity
• Have developed "bat wing" arm deformity

Procedure Details

English Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery Center performs arm lift procedures under general anesthesia. The surgical approach may involve liposuction or direct surgical intervention depending on the patient's specific needs.

Surgical Techniques

For liposuction-based arm reduction, a small incision is made above the elbow, allowing fat removal. Post-procedure, patients wear a compression garment for three to five days to support healing.

Recovery and Scar Management

Advanced scar management techniques include:

• Postoperative tape application to prevent scar widening
• Routine office visits for scar assessment
• Potential steroid injections to minimize scar enlargement
• IPL and laser treatments to improve scar quality

While initial results are visible within weeks, complete healing and optimal outcomes may take six to twelve months.
