Arm Lift in Fort Worth, TX | Matthew H. Steele, MD

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

Aging, genetics, and weight fluctuations can lead to sagging skin around the upper arms. While exercise can help increase muscle tone, an arm lift, or brachioplasty, may be necessary to address excess, loose skin. Dr. Matthew Steele performs arm lift procedures to tighten upper arms by removing sagging skin and fat pockets.

Arm Lift Procedure Details

This body contouring technique targets sagging skin or fat spanning from the armpit down to the elbow, depending on your cosmetic goals. An arm lift can provide slimmer, more toned arms following significant weight loss or age-related changes.

Candidate Considerations

• Stable body weight close to ideal (BMI between 25-30)
• Healthy diet and lifestyle
• Non-smoker
• Good overall medical health

Procedure Benefits

An arm lift performed by Dr. Steele aims to:

• Decrease excess sagging skin
• Smooth and tighten supportive tissue
• Remove excess fat
• Define and contour upper arm appearance

Alternative Options

Patients seeking minimally-invasive alternatives can explore BodyTite or Morpheus8 technologies, which offer skin tightening with smaller incisions and minimal downtime.

Recovery and Results

Recovery typically requires several days off work, with restrictions on cardio and heavy lifting. While the procedure provides permanent results, normal aging and skin changes will continue to affect appearance over time.

Potential Risks

• Adverse reactions to anesthesia
• Potential nerve or muscle damage
• Scarring
• Risk of infection
