 

ARM LIFT (BRACHIOPLASTY) HOUSTON, TX | MARK SCHUSTERMAN, MD, FACS

WHAT IS BRACHIOPLASTY?

Brachioplasty, otherwise known as an arm lift, is a cosmetic surgery
designed to remove excess skin and fat deposits that cause arm
drooping and sagging. This procedure tightens the arm for a smoother,
more toned appearance. Houston brachioplasty patients often struggle
with loose hanging skin that persists despite diet and exercise.

BRACHIOPLASTY CANDIDACY

Brachioplasty may be appropriate for individuals who:

 	* Are in overall good health
	* Do not smoke or are willing to stop pre and post-surgery
	* Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
	* Feel self-conscious about excess arm skin
	* Want to improve arm appearance and clothing fit

THE BRACHIOPLASTY PROCEDURE

During the procedure, Dr. Mark Schusterman performs an outpatient
surgery under general anesthesia. The incision placement depends on
the amount of excess skin to be removed. Liposuction may be used to
remove excess fat, and loose skin is carefully excised and closed with
absorbable sutures.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Post-surgical recovery involves wearing a compression garment and
following specific post-operative instructions. Patients can expect
almost immediate results, with swelling and bruising diminishing over
time. Results can last for years with consistent weight maintenance.

RECOVERY GUIDELINES

 	* Sleep with arms elevated to reduce swelling
	* Take sponge baths until drains are removed
	* Plan for 2-3 weeks off work
	* Wait six weeks before resuming regular exercise

COST AND CONSIDERATIONS

Brachioplasty costs typically average around $8,000, depending on
individual surgical requirements. The procedure is considered cosmetic
and is not usually covered by insurance. Financing options are
available to help manage surgical expenses.

BRACHIOPLASTY HOUSTON, TX | DR. KRISTI SUMPTER

WHAT IS AN ARM LIFT?

An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a transformative surgical procedure
designed to address loose, sagging skin on the upper arms. Houston
cosmetic surgeon Dr. Kristi Sumpter specializes in removing excess
skin and tightening underlying muscles to create a more toned and
youthful arm appearance. When additional fat is present, liposuction
can be incorporated to enhance overall arm contour.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR ARM LIFT SURGERY

The best candidates for an arm lift procedure include:

 	* Men and women with loose, hanging skin on the underside of the
upper arms
	* Patients at or near their goal weight with stabilized weight loss
	* Individuals experiencing skin laxity due to aging or significant
weight changes
	* Patients in good overall health seeking improved arm aesthetics

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

Dr. Sumpter carefully evaluates each patient's unique anatomy to
determine the most appropriate surgical approach. The length of
incisions varies depending on the extent of skin laxity and individual
patient needs. During the procedure, excess skin is trimmed,
underlying muscles are tightened, and in some cases, an armpit lift
may be performed to address additional tissue deposits.

RECOVERY AND HEALING PROCESS

Patients can expect some initial swelling, which typically resolves
within 1-2 weeks. A compression garment helps manage swelling and
supports healing. Most patients can resume modest arm activities
within 3-4 weeks, with complete recovery occurring around 4-6 weeks.
While scarring is inevitable, Dr. Sumpter strategically places
incisions to minimize visibility.

PROCEDURE COSTS

A brachioplasty typically ranges from $5,000 to $7,000. Patients often
combine the procedure with other body contouring treatments, which may
adjust the overall cost.

POTENTIAL COMBINATION PROCEDURES

 	* Body Contouring
	* Liposuction
	* Tummy Tuck
	* Mommy Makeover

BRACHIOPLASTY (ARM LIFT) HOUSTON, TX

UNDERSTANDING ARM LIFT SURGERY IN HOUSTON

As individuals age or experience significant weight loss, upper arm
skin can become loose and redundant. In Houston's warm climate,
feeling self-conscious about wearing sleeveless clothing can be
challenging. While liposuction can remove fat, it often cannot
effectively tighten loose skin.

WHAT IS A BRACHIOPLASTY?

Brachioplasty is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin
and fatty deposits in the upper arms. Depending on the amount of loose
skin, the surgical scar may be confined to the armpit or extend along
the inner arm's bicep muscle groove.

PROCEDURE DETAILS

 	* Performed under general anesthesia
	* Approximately two-hour surgery duration
	* Can be combined with liposuction in select cases
	* Same-day discharge typically available

RECOVERY AND AFTERCARE

Post-surgical care involves specific guidelines to ensure optimal
healing:

 	* Steri-strips or surgical glue applied to incisions
	* Absorbable sutures used
	* Compression garments worn for 1-2 weeks
	* Three-week restriction on lifting and exercise
	* Aggressive scar massage recommended once incisions heal

BENEFITS OF ARM LIFT SURGERY

The procedure can dramatically improve upper arm contour. Surgical
scars fade over time and are strategically placed to minimize
visibility.
