ARM LIFT FAIRFAX, VA | PLASTIC SURGEON FAIRFAX, VA: JOSEPH MICHAELS,
MD

UNDERSTANDING ARM LIFT SURGERY

Loose skin on the arms can be a result of weight loss or aging.
Sagging arms may prevent comfortable clothing choices and impact body
confidence. An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, helps
contour arms by removing excess skin and fat.

ARM LIFT TECHNIQUES

Dr. Michaels offers multiple arm lift techniques tailored to
individual patient needs:

 	* Traditional Arm Lift: Incision from armpit to elbow
	* Mini Arm Lift: Smaller incision across armpit
	* Extended Arm Lift: Longest incision from elbow to chest
	* Liposuction: Fat removal with minimal scarring

PROCEDURE DETAILS

Arm lift procedures are performed under general anesthesia, typically
taking 2-3 hours. The surgery involves removing excess fat and skin,
then tightening remaining tissues to create a more refined arm
contour.

CANDIDACY FOR ARM LIFT

Ideal candidates include individuals who:

 	* Have stable body weight
	* Experience arm skin laxity from weight loss or aging
	* Are in good overall health
	* Have realistic surgical expectations

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Patients can expect initial swelling and bruising, with most returning
to work within one week. Full recovery takes approximately 8-12 weeks,
during which maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help prolong surgical
results.

BENEFITS OF ARM LIFT SURGERY

 	* Removes excess skin and fat
	* Improves arm contour and proportion
	* Enhances clothing options
	* Boosts self-confidence

ARM LIFT (BRACHIOPLASTY) FAIRFAX, VA | HESS PLASTIC SURGERY:
CHRISTOPHER L HESS, MD

UNDERSTANDING ARM LIFT SURGERY IN FAIRFAX, VA

After significant weight loss or aging, individuals often feel
self-conscious about their upper arm appearance. An arm lift,
medically known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to
reduce upper arm size and remove excess loose skin, creating a more
appealing arm contour.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR ARM LIFT SURGERY

Candidates for arm lift surgery typically exhibit one or more of the
following conditions:

 	* Disproportionate or large upper arm size
	* Excess loose skin on the arms
	* Good overall health
	* Stable body weight

ARM LIFT SURGICAL TECHNIQUES

Dr. Hess determines the most appropriate arm reshaping technique based
on individual patient factors. Two primary arm lift approaches exist:

 	* Partial Arm Lift: Small incision in the armpit region, potentially
extending slightly onto the upper arm interior
	* Full Arm Lift: Longer incision running along the medial arm to the
elbow

SURGICAL APPROACH AND PROCEDURE

Both arm lift techniques incorporate liposuction to remove excess
tissue. The surgical process encourages skin retraction, helping the
arms conform to their new, more streamlined contour. Patients with
good skin elasticity might achieve optimal results through liposuction
alone.

RECOVERY AND POST-SURGICAL EXPECTATIONS

Patients can anticipate the following during arm lift recovery:

 	* Swelling and bruising for the first two weeks
	* Temporary skin sensation changes
	* Compression garment wear to control swelling
	* Limited arm movement during initial recovery

COMPREHENSIVE BODY CONTOURING

Arm lift surgery is frequently part of post-bariatric body contouring,
addressing loose skin following significant weight loss. It can be
complemented by procedures like tummy tucks, thigh lifts, and body
lifts to achieve comprehensive aesthetic goals.
