 

BRACHIOPLASTY (UPPER ARM LIFT) IN PORT ORANGE, FL

UNDERSTANDING UPPER ARM LIFT SURGERY

Consistent arm exercises are sometimes insufficient for tightening
upper arm skin. Significant weight loss often leaves patients with
excess, flabby skin commonly referred to as "bat wings". An upper arm
lift, or brachioplasty, can provide a more youthful and toned arm
appearance by removing excess skin and fat deposits.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR BRACHIOPLASTY

Michel C Samson, MD, FACS, PLLC recommends upper arm lift surgery for
patients who meet specific criteria:

 	* Non-smokers in good overall health
	* Relatively stable weight
	* Attempted natural weight loss methods
	* Patients who have undergone bariatric weight loss procedures

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

The upper arm lift procedure typically involves general anesthesia or
intravenous sedation. An incision is strategically made from the
underarm area to the elbow. In cases with surplus skin primarily in
the upper arm, the incision may be limited to the underarm area to
minimize visible scarring.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE OPTIONS

Dr. Samson often combines upper arm lift with liposuction to achieve
optimal contouring. This approach is particularly effective for
patients with minimal excess fat and no significant skin hanging. In
some instances, liposuction alone can produce notable improvements in
arm contour.

RECOVERY AND POTENTIAL RISKS

Like all surgical procedures, brachioplasty involves potential risks
such as:

 	* Infection
	* Anesthesia reactions
	* Blood or fluid collection
	* Potential nerve damage
	* Possible asymmetrical arm appearance

Patients may need to keep arms elevated during initial recovery and
can gradually return to normal function over subsequent weeks.

COST CONSIDERATIONS

Upper arm lift costs vary based on treatment complexity, anesthesia
requirements, surgical facility expenses, and additional medical
needs. A personalized cost estimate will be provided during a
comprehensive consultation.
