Arm Lift in Fort Wayne | Aspire Plastic Surgery and Medical Spa

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

Whether through age or weight loss, excess skin and fat can begin to sag between the underarm and elbow. An arm lift, or brachioplasty, can help patients in Fort Wayne and surrounding areas like Warsaw and Angola achieve more firm, toned-looking arms.

Who Benefits from an Arm Lift?

• Individuals with loose, hanging arm skin
• Patients seeking improved arm contour after significant weight loss
• Those wanting to wear short-sleeved clothing confidently
• People looking to enhance physical appearance and mobility

Procedure Overview

Depending on the amount of excess skin, incisions may range from underarm-contained to extending from elbow to chest. Dr. Lee carefully tightens underlying tissue, removes excess skin, and reshapes the arm's appearance.

Surgical Preparation

Patients will need to:

• Stop smoking before surgery
• Complete necessary medical evaluations
• Avoid certain medications
• Arrange post-surgical transportation and care

Recovery and Results

Most patients experience immediate improvements in arm contour. Full results develop as swelling subsides, typically revealing smoother, more youthful-looking arms within several weeks to months.

Potential Risks

As with any surgical procedure, arm lifts carry potential risks including:

• Scarring
• Infection
• Changes in skin sensation
• Asymmetry

Candidacy Considerations

Ideal candidates are near their target weight, have realistic expectations, and are in good overall health. Dr. Lee will comprehensively assess individual suitability during consultation.

Cost and Financing

While arm lift surgery is typically an elective procedure not covered by insurance, Aspire Plastic Surgery offers financing options through CareCredit and PatientFi to make the treatment more accessible.
