Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) Long Beach, CA | Keith A. Hurvitz, M.D.
Understanding Brachioplasty in Long Beach
An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a transformative cosmetic procedure designed to reshape and improve the contour of the upper arm. Located conveniently in Long Beach, Dr. Keith Hurvitz specializes in removing excess fat and skin to create a more toned and defined arm appearance.
Procedure Overview
- Anesthesia Type: General
- Facility Type: Outpatient surgical center
- Recovery Time: One week of mild downtime
Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift Surgery
The most suitable candidates for an arm lift procedure are adults who meet specific criteria:
- Relatively stable weight
- Significant upper arm skin laxity
- Good overall health
- Non-smokers
- Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
Surgical Technique and Expectations
Dr. Hurvitz performs arm lift surgery by making an incision along the underside of the upper arm. The incision length depends on the amount of excess skin requiring removal. While more severe cases may require an incision from the underarm to just above the elbow, the resulting scar will improve over time.
Recovery and Results
Patients can expect some initial swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort during the recovery period. Typically, patients can return to work and drive within 5-7 days. The complete recovery process takes approximately one month.
Long-Term Results
Arm lift results often last for years, particularly if patients maintain a stable weight. While natural aging may cause some skin laxity, the improved arm contour will generally remain consistent.
Cost Considerations
The total cost of arm lift surgery in Long Beach varies based on several factors, including surgeon's fee, operating room expenses, anesthesia, medical tests, and post-surgical garments. A comprehensive consultation with Dr. Hurvitz will provide a detailed understanding of potential costs.
