Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) Newport Beach, CA | Parviz H. Goshtasby, M.D.

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery in Newport Beach

As individuals age or experience significant weight loss, loose skin can develop along the underside of the upper arms, creating a characteristic "bat wing" appearance. Newport Plastic Surgery offers brachioplasty, a specialized surgical procedure designed to restore and reshape upper arms by removing excess skin and fat, ultimately achieving a more toned and youthful contour.

Arm Lift Candidacy Criteria

Ideal candidates for an arm lift procedure typically demonstrate the following characteristics:

• Good overall physical health
• Excess skin along the underside of upper arms
• Non-smokers, or willing to cease smoking at least two months before and after surgery

Surgical Procedure Details

Dr. Goshtasby performs the arm lift procedure under general anesthesia after comprehensive pre-surgical consultations. The surgical technique involves making a carefully placed incision between the armpit and elbow along the inner arm to minimize visible scarring. Excess skin is precisely removed, and incisions are closed beneath the skin's surface using dissolving sutures.

Recovery and Expectations

Post-surgical recovery typically requires one to two weeks away from work. Patients may need strong pain medications during initial recovery and might experience temporary limitations in hand and arm functionality. Dr. Goshtasby provides personalized consultations to understand individual goals and develop an appropriate treatment strategy.

Complementary Body Contouring Options

Newport Plastic Surgery often combines arm lift surgery with complementary procedures like liposuction to enhance overall body sculpting results. This comprehensive approach allows patients to achieve more comprehensive aesthetic improvements.
