Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) in Wheat Ridge, CO

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the upper arm's skin. Patients experiencing sagging skin due to aging, genetics, or significant weight loss can benefit from this transformative procedure.

What Does an Arm Lift Address?

• Tightens loose upper arm skin
• Removes excess skin and tissue
• Reduces localized fat deposits
• Enhances overall arm contour

Arm Lift Procedure Details

During an arm lift, Pav & Mouchantat Plastic Surgeons strategically place incisions to minimize visible scarring. The procedure involves lifting and tightening the skin, potentially incorporating liposuction to address stubborn fat deposits.

Candidacy for Arm Lift Surgery

Ideal candidates for brachioplasty include individuals with significant skin laxity in the upper arm region, particularly after substantial weight loss or due to natural aging processes.

Surgical Approach

The surgical technique varies depending on individual anatomy. Some patients may receive under-arm incisions, while others might require longer incisions along the upper arm to achieve optimal skin tightening.

Recovery and Aftercare

Post-surgical recovery requires careful attention and following specific medical guidelines. Patients should expect several days of rest and limited arm movement to ensure proper healing.

Recovery Recommendations

• Rest for initial days following surgery
• Avoid strenuous upper body activities
• Follow prescribed wound care instructions
• Attend scheduled follow-up appointments
