Upper Arm Lift in Frisco, TX
What is an Upper Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)?
An Upper Arm Lift or Brachioplasty is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms. This advanced technique can sometimes include removing excess tissue on the side of the chest, potentially improving the appearance of breasts or pectoral muscles.
Candidacy for Brachioplasty
Not all patients require the same approach to upper arm contouring. Some individuals with minimal skin laxity might benefit from Liposuction alone. However, patients with significant excess skin in the upper inside portion of their arms are ideal candidates for a comprehensive Brachioplasty procedure.
Ideal Candidates Include:
- Patients with significant skin laxity in upper arms
- Individuals with excess fat and skin that cannot be addressed through non-invasive treatments
- Patients in good overall health
- Those with realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
Procedure Recovery and Expectations
Patients can anticipate some initial discomfort and swelling following the procedure. Most individuals can resume light activities within two weeks and return to full activity in 2-4 weeks. Desk jobs and low-strain work can typically be resumed within 1-2 weeks.
Surgical Results
The Brachioplasty procedure replaces excess skin with a strategically placed scar, typically designed to hide where the arm meets the chest. Patients often experience improved clothing fit and increased confidence in wearing sleeveless attire.
