Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) in Beverly Hills, CA | Dr. Suzanne Trott Los Angeles, CA

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

After substantial weight loss, aging, or natural changes, upper arm skin can become inelastic and flabby. Arm lift surgery, or brachioplasty, removes excess skin and fat to reveal toned upper arm contours. Dr. Trott's specialized approach addresses loose skin, including the fold near the armpit, often combining the procedure with precise liposculpture.

Procedure Characteristics

• Removes excess skin and fat from upper arms
• Reveals toned arm muscle definition
• Customized surgical approach based on individual skin quality

Best Candidates for Arm Lift Surgery

Ideal candidates include men and women experiencing:

• Loose, hanging skin on upper arms
• Difficulty wearing short or fitted sleeves
• Stable body weight
• Good overall health

Surgical Technique and Expectations

Dr. Trott evaluates skin elasticity and determines the optimal surgical approach. The procedure involves trimming excess skin, tightening underlying muscles, and potentially performing an armpit lift. Incision length varies based on individual patient needs, with most scars strategically placed to minimize visibility.

Recovery Considerations

• Initial swelling subsides within 1-2 weeks
• Compression garments recommended
• Moderate arm activity resumable in 3-4 weeks
• Complete recovery in 4-6 weeks

Advanced Surgical Approach

Dr. Trott's expertise ensures a comprehensive arm lift strategy. For patients with minimal skin laxity, a short armpit incision may suffice. More extensive cases require an incision extending from armpit to elbow, carefully positioned to remain hidden when arms are at rest.
