PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

The primary goal of an upper arm lift, or brachioplasty, is to

makes an incision from the armpit to the elbow to remove unwanted
tissue.

	* Patients typically return home the same day with a compression
garment

disruption to their daily routine. Typically, patients can return to
work within one week and resume normal activities within 3-4 weeks.

RECOVERY TIMELINE

 	* Return to work: Approximately 1 week post-surgery
	* Resume normal activities: 3-4 weeks
	* Swelling and bruising reduction: 3-4 weeks
	* Scar fading: 6-18 months

POTENTIAL RISKS AND CONSIDERATIONS

risks, including:

 	* Infection

BRACHIOPLASTY (ARM LIFT) SAN DIEGO, CA | DR. RON EDELSON

UNDERSTANDING ARM LIFT SURGERY

Aging, weight changes, and hereditary factors can cause skin sagging
and tissue laxity in the upper arms. Brachioplasty, commonly known as
an arm lift, is a surgical procedure designed to address these
aesthetic concerns by removing excess skin and tightening underlying
tissue.

WHO BENEFITS FROM AN ARM LIFT?

Ideal candidates for brachioplasty typically experience:

 	* Significant skin laxity in the upper arm region
	* Excess skin following substantial weight loss
	* Decreased skin elasticity due to aging
	* Self-consciousness about arm appearance

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

Dr. Edelson performs brachioplasty using advanced surgical techniques.
The procedure generally involves:

 	* Administering anesthesia (intravenous or general)
	* Making strategic incisions on the back of the arm
	* Removing excess fat and skin
	* Contouring and tightening remaining tissue

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Patients can expect an immediate improvement in arm appearance
following surgery. Minor swelling and bruising are normal during
initial healing. Most individuals require approximately one week of
rest and should avoid intense physical activities for about a month.

COMPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES

Many patients choose to combine brachioplasty with additional body
contouring procedures to achieve comprehensive aesthetic goals. Dr.
Edelson can discuss personalized treatment plans during consultation.
