UNDERSTANDING ARM LIFT SURGERY IN BELLEVUE

An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure
designed for patients feeling self-conscious about loose or sagging
upper arm skin. Dr. Marosan specializes in removing excess skin and
fat to create more toned, athletic-looking arms.

PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

Arm lift surgery addresses two primary concerns: skin laxity and
excess fat. Depending on the patient's specific anatomy, Dr. Marosan
employs different techniques:

 	* Skin removal for patients with significant skin looseness
	* Liposuction for patients with excess fat deposits
	* Renuvion/J-Plasma skin tightening for mild skin laxity

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE

The arm lift procedure is customized based on individual patient
needs. Incision length varies depending on the amount of skin and fat
to be removed. Options include:

 	* Minor armpit incisions for patients with good skin tone
	* Extended incisions from armpit to elbow for patients with
significant skin excess

PROCEDURE DETAILS

Arm lift surgery is typically performed under intravenous sedation and
tumescent anesthesia. The outpatient procedure takes approximately 2-3
hours to complete. Patients can expect:

 	* Compression garment protection post-surgery
	* No drain tube usage
	* Recommended arm elevation to minimize swelling
	* Return to normal arm function within 2-3 weeks

CANDIDACY AND CONSIDERATIONS

Ideal candidates for arm lift surgery include individuals who:

 	* Have lost significant weight
	* Experience skin laxity due to aging
	* Desire more contoured, toned upper arms

POTENTIAL COMBINATION PROCEDURES

Dr. Marosan often recommends combining arm lift with complementary
procedures such as:

 	* Breast lift
	* Liposuction
	* Upper body contouring

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Post-surgical recovery requires patience and proper care. Patients
should maintain a healthy lifestyle with proper diet and exercise to
preserve surgical results. Strength training can help further tone and
define arm muscles after complete healing.
