Understanding Arm Lift Surgery in Houston

Toned, shapely arms are an attractive feature of sleeveless clothing and confident body appearance. As individuals age, the upper arm becomes challenging to tone due to factors like weight fluctuations, genetics, and natural aging. Dr. Patronella performs arm lift surgery, or brachioplasty, to address skin laxity and restore a more youthful arm contour.

Who Qualifies for Arm Lift Surgery?

Ideal candidates for arm lift surgery experience:

Sagging and drooping upper arm skin
Excess tissue and localized fat deposits
Changes resulting from aging, weight loss, or pregnancy

Comprehensive Arm Lift Procedure

Dr. Patronella performs arm lift surgery under general anesthesia, ensuring patient comfort and precision. The procedure is customized based on individual skin laxity and aesthetic goals. Excess tissue and skin are carefully removed, and the remaining skin is expertly redraped to create a smoother, more contoured appearance.

Surgical Technique and Recovery in Houston, TX

The arm lift procedure involves strategic incisions tailored to each patient's specific needs. Liposuction may be combined to further refine arm contours and reduce localized fat. Patients can typically return to work within one to two weeks, with full recovery and exercise resumption around four to six weeks post-surgery.

Expected Results and Longevity

Arm lift surgery reveals smoother, firmer, and more toned arms. Results are noticeable almost immediately and continue to improve as swelling subsides. With a healthy lifestyle and stable weight, the surgical outcomes can be long-lasting, providing enhanced body confidence.

Recovery and Post-Surgical Care

Patients can expect some bruising, swelling, and mild discomfort following the procedure. Compression garments and prescribed pain medication help manage recovery. Dr. Patronella recommends a specialized Scar Therapy Program to optimize healing and minimize scar visibility.
