PLASTIC SURGERY

WHAT IS AN ARM LIFT (BRACHIOPLASTY)?

Brachioplasty, commonly known as an arm lift, is a surgical procedure
designed to reduce excess skin and tissue from the upper arm area.
This procedure targets the region between the tricep and underarm,
addressing concerns for patients experiencing sagging skin due to
weight loss, aging, or genetic factors.

COMMON REASONS FOR ARM LIFT SURGERY

 	* Significant weight loss
	* Aging-related skin elasticity deterioration
	* Muscle tissue changes
	* Desire for more youthful, contoured arm appearance

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR ARM LIFT IN BATON ROUGE

Dr. Theunissen evaluates potential arm lift candidates based on
several key criteria. Ideal patients typically:

 	* Desire firmer, more youthful-looking arms

	* Wish to remove excess skin sometimes referred to as "wings"
	* Maintain a stable body weight

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE IN BATON ROUGE, LA

At Theunissen Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the arm lift procedure
involves a precise surgical approach. Dr. Theunissen makes strategic
incisions, typically under the arm, with the length determined by the
amount of excess skin and tissue to be removed. In some cases, an
incision may extend from the armpit to the elbow to achieve optimal
results.

PROCEDURE DETAILS

Brachioplasty is performed under general anesthesia and typically
takes two to four hours. Patients can expect the following:

 	* Outpatient surgical procedure
	* Compression garment application post-surgery
	* Potential use of drain tubes to prevent infection
	* Normal post-operative bruising and swelling

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Recovery from an arm lift procedure generally requires two to three
weeks. Patients are advised to keep arms elevated to improve blood
circulation and minimize swelling. Dr. Theunissen provides
comprehensive post-operative care instructions to ensure optimal
healing and results.

UPPER ARM LIFT (BRACHIOPLASTY) IN BATON ROUGE, LA

UNDERSTANDING UPPER ARM LIFT SURGERY

An upper arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a
transformative surgical procedure designed to reshape the underside of
the upper arm. This procedure targets excess skin and fat between the
underarm and elbow, creating smoother, more toned arm contours.

WHY CONSIDER AN UPPER ARM LIFT?

Weight fluctuations, aging, and genetics can cause upper arms to
develop a drooping, sagging appearance. While exercise strengthens
underlying muscle tone, it cannot address:

 	* Excess skin with reduced elasticity
	* Weakened underlying tissues
	* Localized fat deposits

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR ARM LIFT SURGERY

Hanemann Plastic Surgery recommends arm lift surgery for individuals
who:

 	* Have significant upper arm skin laxity
	* Maintain a stable, healthy weight
	* Are in good overall health
	* Do not smoke
	* Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

SURGICAL APPROACH AND TECHNIQUE

Arm lift surgery involves carefully planned incisions typically placed
on the inner arm or posterior arm. The specific incision pattern
depends on the amount of excess skin and the patient's unique
anatomical considerations.

PROCEDURAL STEPS

 	* Administration of general anesthesia
	* Precise incision placement
	* Removal of excess skin and fat
	* Tightening of underlying supportive tissue
	* Precise skin closure

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Following surgery, patients can expect initial swelling and bruising.
Results are typically long-lasting, provided patients maintain stable
weight and overall fitness. Scarring is an inevitable part of the
procedure, but will fade over time.

POTENTIAL RISKS AND CONSIDERATIONS

Like all surgical procedures, arm lift surgery carries potential
risks, including:

 	* Scarring
	* Infection
	* Changes in skin sensation
	* Asymmetry

COST CONSIDERATIONS

Arm lift surgery costs vary based on individual surgical requirements.
Factors influencing price include surgeon expertise, procedure
complexity, and geographic location.

ARM LIFT (BRACHIOPLASTY) IN BATON ROUGE, LA

Brachioplasty, commonly known as an arm lift, is a surgical procedure

particularly between the tricep and underarm. This procedure is
popular among post-weight loss patients and women who feel
self-conscious about flabby arms due to aging, weight fluctuations, or
genetic factors. While exercise can help tighten upper arm muscles,
brachioplasty addresses the excess skin often referred to as "wings".

	* Remove sagging skin and excess fat
	* Improve arm contour and definition
	* Boost self-confidence and body image

	* Aging and loss of skin elasticity
	* Muscle deterioration

DR. TAYLOR THEUNISSEN'S SURGICAL APPROACH

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE

Dr. Theunissen performs arm lift surgery at his Baton Rouge location,
utilizing his expertise and the support of his qualified staff. The
procedure involves making an incision, typically under the arm, with
the length depending on the amount of excess skin and fat to be
removed. In some cases, the incision may extend from the armpit to the
elbow. Excess skin is trimmed, underlying muscles are tightened, and
the armpit area may be surgically adjusted for a natural look.

DURING AND AFTER SURGERY

Arm lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically
takes two to four hours. Following the procedure, the arms are wrapped
in compression garments, and drain tubes may be used to prevent
infection. Patients can expect some bruising and swelling, which is
normal. Keeping arms elevated is essential for improved blood
circulation and reduced swelling. With proper care, patients can
expect more youthful and firm-looking arms in a short time.

PROCEDURE DETAILS

	* AVERAGE COST: $6,000
	* RECOVERY TIME: 2-3 weeks
	* PROCEDURE TIME: 3-3.5 hours
	* LOCATION: Outpatient, Dr. Theunissen's state-of-the-art in-office
operating room
	* INSURANCE: Not typically covered

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WILL SCARS BE VISIBLE?

Some scarring is expected with arm lift surgery. Dr. Theunissen takes
precautions to minimize incisions, but any incision will leave some
scarring. Topical ointments and sun avoidance can help fade scars over
time.

ARM LIFT OR LIPOSUCTION?

Dr. Theunissen will determine the best approach based on a physical
examination. Liposuction may be combined with arm lift surgery to
address both excess fat and skin for optimal results.

CAN ARM LIFT BE COMBINED WITH OTHER PROCEDURES?

Arm lift surgery can be combined with other procedures such as upper
body lift, tummy tuck, breast lift, or liposuction. Dr. Theunissen
will discuss options during the initial consultation.

HOW CONTOURED WILL MY ARMS BE?

Arm lift surgery removes sagging skin, while strength training can
help build muscle and shape after recovery. Maintaining a healthy
lifestyle is crucial for long-lasting results.

UPPER ARM LIFT (BRACHIOPLASTY)

An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure that
reshapes the under portion of the upper arm, from the underarm region
to the elbow. Dr. Michael Hanemann offers this procedure to help
patients achieve smoother, more toned arms.

BENEFITS OF AN UPPER ARM LIFT

	* Reduces excess skin and fat between the underarm and elbow
	* Reshapes the arm for smoother skin and contours
	* Results in a more toned and proportionate appearance

CANDIDATES FOR ARM LIFT SURGERY

Ideal candidates for an arm lift include adults with significant upper
arm skin laxity, those with stable weight, and healthy individuals
without medical conditions that could impair healing. Non-smokers with
realistic expectations are also good candidates.

THE ARM LIFT PROCEDURE

ANESTHESIA

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia or intravenous
sedation.

INCISION

Incisions are typically placed on the inside or back of the arm,
extending from the underarm to just above the elbow. The length
depends on the amount of excess skin to be removed.

TISSUE RESHAPING

Underlying supportive tissue is tightened and reshaped with internal
sutures. Excess skin is then removed, and the remaining skin is
smoothed over the new arm contour.

CLOSING INCISIONS

Incisions are closed with absorbable sutures or stitches that will be
removed within 1-2 weeks after surgery.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Following surgery, patients may have dressings or bandages applied to
their incisions. A compression garment may be used to minimize
swelling. Results are visible almost immediately, though initial
swelling and bruising may obscure the final outcome. The smoother,
tighter contours achieved through brachioplasty are long-lasting,
provided patients maintain a stable weight and general fitness.

RISKS AND SAFETY

As with any surgical procedure, arm lift surgery carries some risks.
These may include scarring, infection, fluid accumulation, and changes
in skin sensation. Dr. Hanemann discusses all potential risks and
complications with patients during their consultation.

COST OF ARM LIFT SURGERY

The cost of an arm lift varies based on the surgeon's experience, type
of procedure, and geographic location. Costs may include the surgeon's
fee, facility costs, anesthesia fees, and post-surgery garments. Most
health insurance does not cover cosmetic surgery or its complications.
