Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) Fort Worth, TX | Jon Kurkjian, M.D.

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery in Fort Worth

The upper arms frequently lose definition and become flabby due to aging or significant weight loss. An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, addresses these concerns by reducing excess fat and skin in the upper arms to create a firmer, more sculpted appearance.

Key Benefits of Arm Lift Surgery

• Reduce excess fat and skin between the underarm and elbow
• Tighten and reshape arm contours
• Achieve a more proportionate and toned arm profile

Surgical Technique

During brachioplasty, Dr. Kurkjian strategically makes an incision along the inner arm. The length of the incision depends on the amount of skin requiring removal. By carefully extracting excess skin and stubborn fat while tightening the remaining tissues, a smoother and more defined arm shape is created.

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift

Optimal arm lift candidates are healthy individuals experiencing significant upper arm skin laxity. Patients who have achieved and maintained a stable weight for several months prior to surgery typically experience the most successful outcomes.

Consultation and Personalized Treatment

During the initial consultation, Dr. Kurkjian conducts a comprehensive assessment of your arm anatomy. This includes evaluating skin texture, elasticity, fat distribution, and muscle tone. Based on this detailed examination, a customized treatment plan will be developed to achieve your specific aesthetic goals.

Recovery and Expectations

Post-surgical recovery involves mild discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medications. Patients will wear compression garments to minimize swelling and support healing. Dr. Kurkjian and his staff provide comprehensive post-operative care to ensure a smooth recovery process.

Combining Procedures

Arm lift surgery can be strategically combined with complementary body contouring procedures like liposuction, tummy tuck, or breast surgeries to enhance overall aesthetic results.
