Understanding Upper Arm Lift Surgery
While exercise and weight training can develop arm muscles, they cannot reduce sagging skin created by aging or significant weight loss. An upper arm lift, or brachioplasty, is specifically designed to remove loose skin and create firm, contoured arms with a youthful appearance.
Surgical Procedure Details
Dr. Scott Haydon customizes each upper arm lift procedure based on individual patient needs. The surgical approach depends on the amount and location of excess skin to be removed. Typical characteristics of the procedure include:
- Incisions made on the inside or back of the arm
- Potential incision extending from underarm to elbow
- Precise skin and fat tissue removal
- Underlying tissue reshaping and tightening
Procedure Duration and Recovery
The upper arm lift typically takes 1-2 hours to complete. Most patients experience a recovery period of 1-2 weeks, during which they can expect gradual healing and improvement in arm contour.
Expected Results and Long-Term Outcomes
Brachioplasty results are generally long-lasting. Some potential skin relaxation may occur with natural aging, but maintaining a healthy lifestyle through regular exercise and proper diet can help optimize and preserve surgical outcomes.
Benefits Beyond Aesthetics
An upper arm lift offers more than physical transformation. Patients often experience increased self-confidence and freedom to wear clothing styles they previously avoided, creating both physical and emotional improvements.
Candidacy and Consultation
Ideal candidates for upper arm lift surgery include individuals with significant skin laxity in the upper arm region who have maintained a stable weight and are in good overall health. A personalized consultation with Dr. Haydon will determine your specific surgical plan.
