 

ARM LIFT (BRACHIOPLASTY) SALEM, OR | EDWIN AUSTIN, MD

UNDERSTANDING BRACHIOPLASTY IN SALEM

Brachioplasty, commonly known as an arm lift, is a surgical procedure
designed to remove loose, hanging skin from the upper arms. This
treatment is ideal for patients experiencing skin laxity due to aging,
significant weight loss, or weight fluctuations.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR ARM LIFT SURGERY

 	* Patients with excessive hanging skin on upper arms
	* Individuals maintaining a stable body weight
	* Non-smokers with realistic surgical expectations
	* Overall healthy patients without major medical complications

COMPREHENSIVE ARM LIFT PROCEDURE DETAILS

During brachioplasty, Dr. Austin makes strategic incisions along the
inner arm, typically extending from the underarm to the elbow. Excess
fat and skin are carefully removed, and underlying supportive tissues
are tightened using advanced surgical techniques.

SURGICAL APPROACH OPTIONS

 	* Full arm lift with comprehensive skin and fat removal
	* Minimal incision arm lift for patients with minimal excess tissue
	* Performed under general anesthesia or intravenous sedation
	* Procedure duration: 2-4 hours

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Post-surgical recovery involves managing expected swelling and
bruising. Patients can typically return to work within one to two
weeks, with full recovery and final results becoming apparent after
approximately six weeks.

POTENTIAL SURGICAL RISKS

 	* Temporary loss of sensation
	* Potential for permanent swelling
	* Risk of nerve or muscle damage
	* Scarring (which fades over time)

PREPARING FOR YOUR ARM LIFT CONSULTATION

Dr. Austin provides comprehensive consultations to discuss individual
goals, evaluate arm tissue, and determine the most appropriate
surgical approach. Patient education and transparent communication are
prioritized throughout the process.

IMPORTANT CONSULTATION CONSIDERATIONS

 	* Detailed discussion of surgical expectations
	* Thorough medical history review
	* Personalized surgical recommendation
	* Recovery timeline explanation

UPPER ARM LIFT (BRACHIOPLASTY) PORTLAND, OR | SAMUEL BARTHOLOMEW, MD,
FACS

UNDERSTANDING BRACHIOPLASTY IN PORTLAND

Brachioplasty addresses saggy and loose skin in the underside of the
upper arms, commonly caused by weight fluctuations, aging, and genetic
factors. The procedure targets excess skin that has lost elasticity
and weakened underlying tissues, resulting in a drooping arm
appearance.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR ARM LIFT SURGERY

Candidates for brachioplasty typically include individuals who:

 	* Maintain good physical health
	* Have a stable weight
	* Possess excess skin or tissue in the upper arm region
	* Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

COMPREHENSIVE BRACHIOPLASTY BENEFITS

Patients can experience multiple advantages from an upper arm lift,
including:

 	* Restoration of arm skin elasticity
	* Improved body proportions
	* Enhanced muscle definition
	* Increased self-confidence
	* More comfortable clothing options

THE BRACHIOPLASTY PROCEDURE

Dr. Bartholomew performs brachioplasty by making precise incisions on
the inside of the upper arm. The extent of the incision depends on the
amount of excess skin and fat to be removed. Liposuction techniques
may be utilized to reduce fat deposits and create a smoother contour.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Recovery from brachioplasty involves several key considerations:

 	* Initial discomfort and numbness for several days
	* Elevation of arms to minimize swelling
	* Restricted physical activities for several weeks
	* Gradual reduction of surgical marks over time

POTENTIAL RISKS AND CONSIDERATIONS

While brachioplasty is generally safe, potential risks include
anesthesia reactions, bleeding, infection, and scarring. Dr.
Bartholomew discusses these potential complications during
comprehensive pre-surgical consultations.
