Understanding Brachioplasty: Sculpting Your Arms with Precision

Après Plastic Surgery offers transformative arm lift procedures for individuals seeking to address excess skin and achieve sleeker, more contoured upper arms. In warmer months, many men and women desire to confidently wear tank tops, t-shirts, and bathing suits, but sagging skin—often called "bat wings"—can make this challenging.

What is an Arm Lift?

A brachioplasty, or arm lift, is a surgical procedure designed to tighten, sculpt, and reshape the upper arms. Despite intense exercise and weight training, some individuals cannot eliminate excess skin, making this procedure an effective solution for achieving a smoother, more refined arm appearance.

Benefits of Brachioplasty

• Slimmer, more attractive arm contours
• Improved comfort and hygiene
• Enhanced self-confidence
• Removal of excess skin and small fat pockets

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift Surgery

Candidates for brachioplasty typically exhibit:

• Excess loose skin on upper arms
• Stubborn fat resistant to diet and exercise
• Good overall health
• Stable, healthy body weight

Procedure Overview

Performed under general anesthesia, the arm lift procedure involves strategically placed incisions to remove excess skin from the elbow to armpit. Dr. Aghayan specializes in discreet incision placement, often on the inner arm, to minimize visible scarring.

Recovery and Expectations

Recovery requires patience and following post-operative instructions carefully. Patients should expect:

• 4-5 weeks of limited physical activity
• Compression garment wear
• Gradual return to normal activities
• Potential temporary changes in skin sensation

Complementary Procedures

Many patients combine arm lift surgery with complementary procedures like liposuction or tummy tuck for comprehensive body contouring results.
