Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) in Boulder | Mile High Plastic Surgery

Understanding Brachioplasty: Comprehensive Arm Contouring

Brachioplasty, commonly known as an arm lift, is a specialized surgical procedure designed to address loose, sagging skin and excess fat deposits in the upper arm region. This transformative procedure is particularly beneficial for patients experiencing significant skin laxity due to aging or substantial weight loss.

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift Surgery

Mile High Plastic Surgery evaluates potential brachioplasty candidates through comprehensive health assessments. Ideal candidates typically demonstrate:

• Overall good physical health
• Stable body weight
• Excess, hanging skin in the upper arm area
• Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Surgical Approach and Technique

The brachioplasty procedure involves precise surgical techniques to remove excess skin and fat while maintaining natural arm contours. During the consultation, the surgical plan is customized to each patient's unique anatomical characteristics and aesthetic goals.

Procedure Steps

• Comprehensive pre-surgical marking of excess skin
• Strategic skin and fat removal
• Careful tissue repositioning
• Precise wound closure

Complementary Procedures

Mile High Plastic Surgery may recommend complementary treatments such as liposuction to enhance overall arm contouring and achieve optimal aesthetic results.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients should anticipate a structured recovery process with specific post-operative instructions. While a surgical scar is inevitable, most patients find the improved arm appearance and increased confidence outweigh potential scarring concerns.

Key Recovery Considerations

• Temporary arm swelling and bruising
• Prescribed compression garments
• Gradual return to normal activities
• Follow-up appointments to monitor healing

Anesthesia and Surgical Setting

Brachioplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia, ensuring patient comfort throughout the procedure. The surgery is conducted in accredited medical facilities with the highest standards of patient care and safety.
