Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) St. Augustine, FL | Anh Vu, MD

Understanding Brachioplasty in St. Augustine

To achieve a more contoured shape in the upper arms, patients may want to consider a brachioplasty. Anh Vu, M.D. offers brachioplasties and advanced body sculpting procedures for men and women in St. Augustine, Jacksonville, Palm Coast, and Daytona Beach areas.

What is a Brachioplasty?

A brachioplasty, or arm lift, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to sculpt and trim the upper arms. This technique helps patients achieve a more muscular and toned arm appearance by tightening and smoothing the skin. In some cases, liposuction can be combined with brachioplasty to enhance overall results.

Brachioplasty Procedure Details

At Anh Vu, M.D., every arm lift begins with a comprehensive consultation. Dr. Anh Vu carefully plans the surgery based on each patient's unique aesthetic goals. The procedure typically involves:

• A precise incision along the underside of the arm
• Removal of excess skin and fat
• Surgical sculpting to create a lifted appearance
• Performed under anesthesia for patient comfort

Recovery and Results

Following a brachioplasty, patients can expect some initial swelling and discomfort. Most patients should avoid strenuous arm activities for one to two months. After six to eight weeks, normal activities can typically be resumed without significant discomfort.

Am I a Good Candidate for Brachioplasty?

Ideal candidates for a brachioplasty include individuals with:

• Sagging skin in the upper arm area
• Stubborn fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise
• Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Procedure Longevity

When performed by an experienced surgeon like Dr. Anh Vu, brachioplasty results can last for years and appear completely natural. However, future changes due to aging or weight fluctuations may impact long-term results.

Consultation and Cost

Brachioplasties are considered cosmetic treatments and are not typically covered by insurance. Anh Vu, M.D. offers various payment options and financing to make the procedure accessible to patients.
