Arm Lift Panama City Beach by Andrew McAllister, DO
Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) in Panama City Beach, DC
Understanding Arm Lift Surgery
Loose, sagging upper arm skin can cause self-consciousness and limit clothing choices. Arm lift surgery, or brachioplasty, offers a comprehensive solution for individuals seeking sleeker, more toned arm contours.
Candidates for Arm Lift Surgery
- Individuals with excess skin on upper arms
- People experiencing self-consciousness in sleeveless clothing
- Patients with skin laxity from weight loss or aging
- Those seeking improved arm definition
Procedural Details
Dr. McAllister performs arm lift surgery as an outpatient procedure, typically lasting one to two hours. The surgical approach may include liposuction and precise skin removal to achieve optimal body contouring.
Surgical Technique
The procedure involves an incision extending from the inside of the elbow to the underarm, potentially extending to the chest for patients with significant skin excess. Excess fat, skin, and tissue are strategically removed, and remaining skin is redraped for a smoother, more toned appearance.
Recovery Expectations
Patients can expect some initial bruising and swelling, which typically subsides within 10-14 days. Dr. McAllister recommends wearing compression garments and avoiding strenuous arm movements during initial healing.
Recovery Guidelines
- Wear compression bandages as directed
- Engage in gentle walking to promote circulation
- Avoid lifting arms above head for initial weeks
- Sleep with arms elevated using pillows
Recovery and Results
Most patients return to work within one to two weeks following the arm lift procedure. The results include more refined, contoured upper arms and increased confidence in personal appearance.
