Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) Chicago, IL

Understanding Brachioplasty: Arm Contouring in Chicago

A brachioplasty (arm lift surgery) is a specialized surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the lower upper arms. During this procedure, a skilled surgeon removes excess fat and skin from the area between the elbow and armpit, creating a more toned and refined arm contour.

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift Surgery

RAM Plastic Surgery recommends brachioplasty for patients who meet specific criteria:

• Experience sagging skin on the underside of upper arms
• Desire to enhance body image and arm appearance
• Maintain good overall health
• Have stable body weight
• Possess loose or excess skin from weight loss or aging

Comprehensive Consultation Process

Prior to scheduling brachioplasty, patients undergo a detailed consultation with Dr. Azizi. This critical step involves a comprehensive medical review, physical examination, and discussion of patient expectations and potential outcomes.

Surgical Preparation Guidelines

Patients preparing for brachioplasty should follow specific pre-surgical recommendations:

• Cease smoking for a minimum of 6 weeks before the procedure
• Arrange appropriate time off from work or school
• Secure post-operative transportation and initial care support

Advanced Brachioplasty Procedure Details

The arm lift procedure typically occurs under general anesthesia. Surgeons strategically make incisions on the undersides of the arms, removing excess tissue and potentially utilizing liposuction to enhance contouring. Underlying connective tissues are tightened and secured with precise suturing techniques.

Recovery and Post-Surgical Care

Post-procedure recovery involves careful management and specific guidelines:

• Compression bandages to minimize swelling
• Prescribed antibiotics and pain management
• Gradual resumption of light activities
• Follow-up appointments to monitor healing

Outcomes and Patient Satisfaction

Brachioplasty has demonstrated consistently positive results, with clinical studies indicating high patient satisfaction and low complication rates. The procedure offers significant improvements in arm aesthetics and body confidence.
