BRACHIOPLASTY (ARM LIFT) IN SPRINGFIELD, MO | SHAH PLASTIC SURGERY

UNDERSTANDING THE ARM LIFT PROCEDURE

An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a sophisticated
surgical procedure designed to tighten and firm saggy upper arms. This
transformative treatment addresses skin laxity caused by aging or
significant weight loss, removing excess skin to create a toned,
youthful arm contour.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR ARM LIFT SURGERY

Shah Plastic Surgery recommends arm lift surgery for patients who meet
specific criteria:

 	* Have experienced substantial weight loss
	* Maintain a healthy lifestyle with stable weight
	* Have upper arm skin that does not respond to exercise or diet

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

Dr. Shah performs arm lift surgery with meticulous precision. The
procedure typically involves general anesthesia or oral sedation with
local anesthesia. Strategic incisions are made on the inner or back of
the arm, allowing for excess skin and fat removal and underlying
tissue tightening.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Most patients return to work within one to two weeks. Initial swelling
and bruising are normal and gradually subside. Patients should avoid
strenuous activities for the first two weeks, with walking recommended
as the primary form of exercise during recovery.

LONG-TERM OUTCOMES

Results from an arm lift are long-lasting when patients maintain a
stable weight and healthy lifestyle. The procedure typically provides
beautiful, refined results that can enhance body confidence for many
years.

DR. SHAH'S EXPERTISE IN ARM LIFT SURGERY

As a double board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Bharat Shah brings
extensive experience and advanced surgical techniques to each arm lift
procedure. His approach focuses on personalized treatment and

ARM LIFT (BRACHIOPLASTY) COLUMBIA, MO | DR. MATTHEW CONCANNON

UNDERSTANDING BRACHIOPLASTY: ARM SKIN REMOVAL SURGERY

Loose upper arm skin is commonly related to significant weight loss or
the natural aging process. When substantial weight gain stretches arm
skin, subsequent weight loss often leaves behind sagging, redundant
skin that cannot retract naturally.

WHO NEEDS AN ARM LIFT?

Ideal candidates for brachioplasty include individuals who:

 	* Have experienced massive weight loss from bariatric surgery
	* Struggle with excess, hanging arm skin
	* Cannot improve skin laxity through diet and exercise
	* Feel self-conscious about arm appearance

SURGICAL APPROACH

Dr. Concannon offers two primary brachioplasty techniques based on
individual patient needs:

 	* Mini Arm Tuck (Axillary Brachioplasty): For minimal skin excess
near the armpit
	* Standard Arm Lift: For extensive skin removal extending from armpit
to elbow

PROCEDURE CONSIDERATIONS

Brachioplasty involves trading loose skin for surgical scars. The
procedure creates a permanent scar along the inner arm, typically
extending from armpit to elbow. While the scar's appearance varies,
most patients find the improved arm contour worthwhile.

BENEFITS OF BRACHIOPLASTY

 	* Eliminates excess, hanging arm skin
	* Improves clothing fit
	* Reduces skin irritation and rashes
	* Enhances body confidence

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Patients can expect dramatic skin reduction immediately after surgery.
Scars typically settle and fade over 6-12 months. Regular exercise can
help improve underlying muscle tone and maintain surgical results.

ARM LIFT (BRACHIOPLASTY) IN JEFFERSON CITY, MO | CONCANNON PLASTIC
SURGERY

UNDERSTANDING BRACHIOPLASTY: ADDRESSING LOOSE UPPER ARM SKIN

Loose upper arm skin is most often related to significant weight loss
or the natural aging process. When substantial weight gain stretches
arm skin, subsequent weight loss can leave behind excess, sagging
tissue that diet and exercise cannot correct.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR ARM LIFT SURGERY

Brachioplasty is typically recommended for individuals who:

 	* Have experienced massive weight loss
	* Struggle with skin elasticity due to aging
	* Cannot improve arm contour through exercise
	* Feel self-conscious about hanging arm skin

SURGICAL APPROACH AND TECHNIQUE

Concannon Plastic Surgery offers two primary brachioplasty approaches:

 	* MINI ARM TUCK (AXILLARY BRACHIOPLASTY):
 	* STANDARD ARM LIFT:

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS FOR ARM LIFT SURGERY

Patients must understand that brachioplasty involves a trade-off
between reducing loose skin and accepting a surgical scar. The
permanent scar typically runs from armpit to elbow along the inner
arm, which may be less noticeable in a relaxed pose.

BENEFITS OF BRACHIOPLASTY

 	* Improved arm contour and appearance
	* Elimination of skin rashes and irritation
	* Enhanced clothing fit
	* Increased confidence and comfort

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

While brachioplasty reduces arm flabbiness, patients must commit to
regular exercise to maintain muscle tone. Surgical scars typically
fade and soften over 6-12 months, with individual healing variations.

contours, increased self-confidence, and long-lasting results.

WHAT IS AN ARM LIFT?

An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes
excess skin and fat from the upper arms. It addresses sagging skin
caused by aging, significant weight loss, or genetics. With strategic
incisions and meticulous care, Dr. Kachare delivers natural-looking
results.

CONDITIONS AN ARM LIFT ADDRESSES

 	* Sagging skin on the upper arms, or "bat wings"

	* Loss of arm contour and definition

BENEFITS OF AN ARM LIFT

	* Increased confidence in sleeveless clothing
	* Enhanced overall body contours

THE ARM LIFT PROCEDURE

During an arm lift, Dr. Kachare often combines liposuction with
incisions along the inside or back of the arm. Excess skin and fat are
removed, creating smooth, natural-looking contours, and the remaining
skin is tightened to create a more sculpted appearance.

CANDIDACY AND RECOVERY

Ideal candidates are in good overall health with realistic
expectations and significant skin laxity on the upper arms. Recovery
typically takes several weeks, with patients resuming normal
activities gradually. Following post-operative instructions is crucial
for optimal healing.

ARM LIFT CHESTERFIELD, MO | CHARLES NATHAN, MD, FACS

UNDERSTANDING ARM LIFT SURGERY

Excess fat and loose skin often leave a "flabby" appearance on the
upper arms. This area can be challenging to target with diet and
exercise, especially due to skin laxity. Arm lift surgery, or
brachioplasty, eliminates stubborn fat and removes the batwing
appearance through a precise surgical procedure performed under
general anesthesia.

BENEFITS OF ARM LIFT SURGERY

 	* Eliminate loose skin on the arms
	* Create a toned arm appearance
	* Remove excess and flabby skin
	* Improve comfort and confidence in clothing

TYPES OF ARM LIFT PROCEDURES

BRACHIOPLASTY

This procedure involves the excision of skin and fat in the arm, with
an incision stretching from the armpit to the inner elbow.

EXTENDED BRACHIOPLASTY

Similar to standard brachioplasty, but the scar includes removal of
skin in the armpit and along the lateral chest wall. This is
recommended for patients with skin extending into the axilla and chest
area.

ARM LIFT RECOVERY TIMELINE

IMMEDIATELY AFTER SURGERY

Patients should avoid strenuous activities and can typically return to
work after a weekend of healing.

ONE WEEK POST-PROCEDURE

Light activity like walking on a treadmill can be resumed. Heavy
lifting and running are prohibited for 4-5 weeks.

ONE TO TWO MONTHS

Most patients can return to their full routine approximately one month
after the procedure.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Patients can expect a scar from under the armpit to the elbow.
However, for those who have previously avoided wearing short sleeves
due to arm appearance, the surgical scar is often considered a
worthwhile trade-off for improved arm contour.

BRACHIOPLASTY (ARM LIFT) IN CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO

UNDERSTANDING BRACHIOPLASTY

Brachioplasty, commonly known as an arm lift, is a surgical procedure
designed to improve arm contour by removing excess skin and fat
tissue. This advanced technique helps patients achieve a more refined
and toned arm appearance, particularly after significant weight loss
or age-related skin laxity.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR ARM LIFT SURGERY

 	* Individuals with significant weight loss
	* Patients experiencing reduced skin elasticity due to aging
	* Those with excess, hanging skin on the upper arms
	* Patients in good overall health

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

During a brachioplasty procedure, incisions are strategically placed
on the inside of the arm. An elliptical piece of skin is carefully
removed, and liposuction may be utilized to eliminate excess fat. The
specific surgical approach depends on individual patient needs and the
extent of skin and fat removal required.

SURGICAL APPROACH

The operation is performed as an outpatient procedure under general
anesthesia at Auburn Surgery Center. Depending on the patient's
anatomy, the incision might extend past the elbow or into the armpit
and chest area to ensure comprehensive skin removal.

RECOVERY AND POST-OPERATIVE CARE

Following the arm lift procedure, patients can expect the following
recovery guidelines:

 	* Dressings will be applied to the arms, which can be removed for
showering
	* Avoid lifting more than 5-10 pounds for 4 weeks
	* Do not submerge incisions in water until specifically instructed
	* Most patients can return to non-strenuous work within 1 week

IMPORTANT RECOVERY CONSIDERATIONS

Individual recovery experiences may vary, and comprehensive
post-operative instructions will be provided during the initial
consultation. Patients should follow all medical guidance to ensure
optimal healing and results.

FINANCING AND CONSULTATION

For those interested in an arm lift procedure, a personalized
consultation is recommended to discuss individual goals, surgical
approach, and expected outcomes. Please note that cosmetic surgical
procedures are typically not covered by insurance and require full
payment prior to surgery.

ARM LIFT SURGERY IN ST. LOUIS: ACHIEVE TONED, SCULPTED ARMS

REGAIN CONFIDENCE WITH ARM LIFT SURGERY

Many patients with loose upper arm skin feel self-conscious about this
area, often resorting to hiding their arms with loose or long-sleeved
clothing. At John H. Hulsen, III, MD's practice, arm lift surgery
(brachioplasty) is offered as an effective solution to address loose
skin and excess fat in the upper arms, resulting in a trimmer and more
toned appearance.

IS AN ARM LIFT RIGHT FOR YOU?

Ideal candidates for arm lift surgery are in good health, non-smokers,
and have limited pinch thickness to the sagging skin. During the
initial consultation, Dr. Hulsen thoroughly evaluates the patient's
overall health, arm condition, and medical history to determine
suitability for the procedure.

THE ARM LIFT PROCEDURE

Arm rejuvenation is typically performed under general anesthesia. The
procedure may involve liposuction to thin tissues, followed by skin
removal through an incision along the lower, inner part, or back of
the arm. Multiple layers of dissolvable sutures are used, and special
dressings are applied to support healing.

RECOVERY AFTER ARM LIFT SURGERY

Patients may experience temporary swelling, tenderness, bruising, or
numbness post-surgery. A compression garment is often recommended to
reduce swelling. Most patients require a two-week break from work,
with a gradual return to normal activities. Strenuous activities and
full arm flexion should be avoided for several weeks to ensure optimal
healing and scar formation.

TRANSFORM YOUR ARMS AND YOUR CONFIDENCE

An arm lift can significantly improve the appearance of your upper
arms, boosting your confidence and expanding your wardrobe options.
Contact Dr. John H. Hulsen, III's office to schedule a consultation
and discover if an arm lift is the right choice for you.
