Arm Lift Mandeville, LA | Dr. Benjamin J. Boudreaux, MD

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

Sagging skin on the arms can make individuals hesitant to wear short sleeves or sleeveless clothing. An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a body contouring procedure designed to redefine the upper arm area by removing excess skin and tightening underlying muscles.

Why Choose an Arm Lift?

Upper arm skin naturally loses elasticity with age and significant weight loss. This procedure helps patients achieve more toned, athletic-looking arms and increased self-confidence.

Potential Arm Lift Benefits

• More youthful and fit appearance
• Increased self-esteem in personal and professional settings
• Improved ability to wear stylish, arm-revealing clothing
• Enhanced muscle tone visibility
• Reduction of skin-related rashes caused by excess tissue

Arm Lift Candidacy Requirements

Ideal candidates for arm lift surgery should meet specific health criteria, including:

• Being in good overall health
• Maintaining a stable, healthy weight
• Having realistic surgical expectations
• Being a non-smoker

Procedure Overview

The arm lift procedure is typically performed at NorthShore Plastic Surgery's accredited on-site surgical center. The surgery takes approximately one to two hours and involves carefully removing excess skin and tightening underlying tissue under IV sedation or general anesthesia.

Recovery Considerations

Patients can expect some initial swelling and bruising. Following post-operative instructions is crucial for optimal healing. Surgeons typically recommend avoiding strenuous arm activities for several weeks and will prescribe antibiotics and pain management medications.
