Brachioplasty in Beverly Hills, CA | Spalding Drive Plastic Surgery

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, addresses flabby, loose skin along the upper arms that can affect individuals of all ages and body types. Hereditary conditions and the natural aging process contribute to tissue laxity, often causing self-consciousness about arm appearance.

Common Arm Lift Challenges

• Stubborn fatty deposits resistant to diet and exercise
• Excess skin after significant weight loss
• Decreased skin elasticity
• Clothing fit and style limitations

Surgical Approach at Spalding Drive Plastic Surgery

Spalding Drive Plastic Surgery's board-certified surgeons specialize in comprehensive brachioplasty techniques. With over a decade of experience and advanced training from the Cleveland Clinic, they provide patients with state-of-the-art arm contouring solutions.

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift

The optimal arm lift candidate is in good overall health, maintains realistic expectations, and seeks to address: • Excess skin and tissue in upper arms • Desire for improved arm contour • Willingness to follow post-surgical recovery guidelines

Surgical Procedure Details

The arm lift procedure is performed at the accredited Beverly Hills Doctors Surgery Center. Surgeons make precise lateral incisions along the inner arm, removing unwanted fatty tissue and skin while reshaping the remaining tissues. The entire process typically takes two to four hours under general or IV sedation anesthesia.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect a recovery period of one to two weeks, with gradual return to normal activities. Initial mild bruising and swelling are common, and prescribed medications help manage any discomfort. Full results become apparent as healing progresses.

Potential Risks and Considerations

While brachioplasty is considered safe when performed by experienced surgeons, potential risks include: • Scarring • Temporary sensation changes • Potential asymmetry • Infection risks
