Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) in San Antonio, TX

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

Brachioplasty, commonly known as an arm lift, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin from the upper arm. This treatment is particularly beneficial for patients who have experienced significant weight loss and are left with loose, sagging skin that cannot be resolved through exercise or non-surgical methods.

Arm Lift Procedure Details

The surgical technique involves making an incision along the back of the arm to remove excess skin and tighten the underlying tissue. Depending on the patient's specific needs, the procedure can be modified to address skin in the armpit and lateral chest wall, a technique known as a torsoplasty.

Candidacy for Arm Lift Surgery

Potential candidates for an arm lift typically include:

• Individuals with significant weight loss
• Patients with excessive loose skin on the upper arms
• Those seeking improved arm contour and appearance

Personalized Treatment Options

Comprehensive Surgical Planning

During a comprehensive consultation, the surgical team will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to the patient's aesthetic goals and physical characteristics. The approach may involve combining arm lift with other body contouring procedures to optimize results and minimize overall recovery time.
