Arm Lift Surgery (Brachioplasty) in Austin, TX

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

Arm lift surgery, or brachioplasty, is a transformative procedure designed to address loose skin and excess tissue in the upper arms. This surgical technique helps patients overcome the challenges of skin laxity that cannot be resolved through diet and exercise alone.

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift

Potential candidates for arm lift surgery typically experience:

• Significant skin looseness from the elbow to the upper arm
• Difficulty wearing sleeveless clothing due to excess skin
• Stable body weight near their target weight
• Good overall health for surgical recovery

Surgical Technique

Dr. Levesque performs arm lift surgery in an outpatient setting under general anesthesia. The procedure involves surgically removing excess skin from the elbow to the underarm, potentially incorporating liposuction to remove stubborn fat deposits.

Recovery and Results

Recovery typically spans two weeks, with patients advised to:

• Elevate arms frequently
• Wear compression garments
• Avoid strenuous activities for 4-5 weeks
• Attend follow-up appointments for suture removal

Potential Outcomes

Patients can expect more contoured, tighter arm appearance with improved confidence. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and weight is crucial for preserving surgical results.
