Brachioplasty (Upper Arm Lift) in Shenandoah, TX | Sabrina Lahiri, MD

What is an Upper Arm Lift?

An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove loose skin and excess fat deposits in the upper arm region. As individuals age or experience significant weight loss, upper arm skin can become loose and flabby, diminishing overall body contour and self-confidence.

Procedure Goals

• Remove excess skin and fat from upper arms
• Tighten and reshape arm contours
• Improve overall body proportions

Surgical Technique

Dr. Lahiri performs the upper arm lift under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. The procedure involves creating strategic incisions along the back or underside of each upper arm, extending from the armpit to the elbow. The length and placement of incisions depend on individual patient needs and the extent of skin and fat removal required.

Surgical Steps

• Administer appropriate anesthesia
• Create precise incisions
• Remove excess skin and fat
• Tighten underlying tissues
• Close incisions with surgical sutures

Recovery and Expectations

Recovery from an upper arm lift typically requires approximately one week away from work. Patients should avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for at least four weeks. Wearing post-surgical elastic garments and keeping arms elevated can help minimize swelling and support optimal healing.

Cost Considerations

The cost of brachioplasty varies based on individual patient needs, including the amount of tissue removal, surgical techniques, anesthesia type, and procedural complexity. A personalized consultation with Dr. Lahiri will provide the most accurate cost estimate.
