BRACHIOPLASTY (ARM LIFT) EDINA, MN | DAVID F. RUEBECK, MD, FACS

UNDERSTANDING ARM LIFT SURGERY

Brachioplasty is a surgical procedure designed for patients with
excess skin and fat on the upper arms. This condition can result from
significant weight loss or the natural aging process. The procedure
removes unwanted skin and fat, creating a more contoured and refined
arm appearance.

PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

During brachioplasty, the surgical approach involves carefully
removing excess skin and fat from the upper arms. The procedure is
strategically performed to minimize visible scarring, typically
placing incisions on the inner part of the arm.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE

 	* Performed under general anesthesia
	* Same-day discharge
	* Potential use of liposuction to reduce scar length
	* Incisions run from armpit to elbow on inner arm

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Patients can anticipate a structured recovery process following arm
lift surgery. Initial discomfort typically subsides within 5-7 days,
with most individuals able to return to work after one week. Strenuous
activities should be avoided for 3-4 weeks to ensure proper healing.

SCAR MANAGEMENT

Surgical scars are positioned on the inner arm and naturally lighten
over a 6-12 month period. The placement minimizes visibility while
allowing for optimal skin contouring.

CANDIDATE CONSIDERATIONS

Ideal candidates for arm lift surgery should be in overall good health
and currently non-smokers. A comprehensive consultation will determine
individual suitability for the procedure.

ARM LIFT (BRACHIOPLASTY) EDINA, MN | TIMOTHY G. SCHAEFER, MD, FACS

UNDERSTANDING ARM LIFT SURGERY

Excess skin on the upper arms can occur with aging and significant
weight loss. An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, can
significantly improve arm contour by removing hanging or stretched
skin. Dr. Schaefer carefully considers individual anatomy to create a
natural, more athletic arm appearance.

WHO QUALIFIES FOR AN ARM LIFT?

Ideal candidates for brachioplasty include patients who have:

 	* Experienced significant skin deflation in upper arms
	* Maintained a stable weight for 3-6 months
	* Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
	* No current smoking habits
	* Minimal excess fat requiring additional removal

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

The brachioplasty procedure is typically performed as an outpatient
surgery under general anesthesia, lasting approximately 2.5 hours. Dr.
Schaefer meticulously plans and marks the surgical area, then excises
excess skin from the posterior aspect of the upper arms.

SURGICAL APPROACH

Incision placement depends on the amount of excess skin. The scar may
extend across the armpit, lateral chest wall, or down to the elbow.
Absorbable sutures are used to close incisions, and compressive
bandages are applied to support healing.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Patients can expect some initial soreness, bruising, and swelling
after the procedure. Most individuals return to work within 1-2 weeks.
Complete recovery and final results typically manifest over 4-6
months.

POST-SURGICAL GUIDELINES

 	* Wear recommended compression garments
	* Avoid strenuous activities for at least 4 weeks
	* Attend follow-up examinations with Dr. Schaefer

experiencing significant skin laxity.

ARM LIFT WAYZATA, MN | DR. RALPH W. BASHIOUM, MD

UNDERSTANDING ARM LIFT SURGERY

Arm lift surgery, medically known as dermatolipectomy or
brachioplasty, is a specialized procedure designed to reduce sagging
in the upper arms. By combining liposuction and skin removal
techniques, the surgery addresses excess skin and fat, particularly
for patients experiencing changes after significant weight loss or due
to aging.

PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

The arm lift procedure involves four key steps:

 	* Strategic pre-surgical planning
	* Precise inner arm incision placement
	* Targeted liposuction
	* Careful skin and fat excision

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR ARM LIFT

Qualified candidates typically exhibit the following characteristics:

 	* Healthy non-smokers
	* Within 20 pounds of ideal body weight
	* Experiencing sagging or excess arm skin
	* Motivated by personal aesthetic goals

SURGICAL CONSIDERATIONS

Arm lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia, typically
lasting three to four hours. The procedure aims to create a more
natural appearance that matches body proportions while minimizing
visible scarring along the inner arm.

POTENTIAL RISKS AND EXPECTATIONS

While arm lift surgery offers significant aesthetic improvements,
patients must understand potential risks. These may include infection,
scarring, changes in skin sensation, and rare complications like nerve
injury. Dr. Bashioum emphasizes comprehensive patient education to
ensure informed decision-making.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Recovery varies by individual, but patients can expect some asymmetry
and scarring. The inner arm scar typically extends from the armpit to
the elbow, which may be visible with short-sleeve clothing.

ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS

Dr. Bashioum strongly advises patients to maintain a stable weight
post-surgery and avoid smoking to optimize healing and long-term
results. Combining arm lift with complementary procedures like chest
liposuction can enhance overall aesthetic outcomes.
