WHAT IS ARM LIFT SURGERY?

Arm lift surgery, medically known as brachioplasty, addresses loose
skin from the elbow to the shoulder. This procedure is particularly
beneficial for individuals experiencing skin laxity due to aging or
significant weight loss. Dr. Sean McNally specializes in removing
excess skin, often referred to as "bat wings", to create a more toned
and contoured arm appearance.

BENEFITS OF ARM LIFT PROCEDURE

 	* Removes excess skin from significant weight loss or aging
	* Reduces friction and chafing between arm and chest
	* Enhances clothing comfort and personal confidence
	* Targets stubborn areas resistant to diet and exercise

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

Arm lift surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure
under general anesthesia. The surgical process involves carefully
removing unwanted skin from the elbow to the underarm. Dr. McNally
strategically places incisions in the most inconspicuous locations to
minimize visible scarring.

PROCEDURE TECHNIQUE

In some cases, liposuction may be combined with skin excision to
remove stubborn fatty deposits. After removing excess skin, the
remaining tissue is pulled taut and meticulously sutured.
Post-surgical care includes wearing compression garments and
maintaining proper wound care.

MAINTAINING SURGICAL RESULTS

To preserve arm lift results, patients are encouraged to maintain a
stable weight through balanced nutrition and regular exercise. Once
fully recovered, strength training can help further tone and define
arm muscles, complementing the surgical outcome.

SCARRING CONSIDERATIONS

While surgical incisions are inevitable, Dr. McNally employs advanced
techniques to minimize scarring. Patients receive recommendations for
topical treatments and are advised to limit sun exposure during the
healing process to reduce potential discoloration.

UPPER ARM LIFT (BRACHIOPLASTY) PORTLAND, OR | SAMUEL BARTHOLOMEW, MD,
FACS

UNDERSTANDING BRACHIOPLASTY IN PORTLAND

Brachioplasty addresses saggy and loose skin in the underside of the
upper arms, commonly caused by weight fluctuations, aging, and genetic
factors. The procedure targets excess skin that has lost elasticity
and weakened underlying tissues, resulting in a drooping arm
appearance.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR ARM LIFT SURGERY

Candidates for brachioplasty typically include individuals who:

 	* Maintain good physical health
	* Have a stable weight
	* Possess excess skin or tissue in the upper arm region
	* Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

COMPREHENSIVE BRACHIOPLASTY BENEFITS

Patients can experience multiple advantages from an upper arm lift,
including:

 	* Restoration of arm skin elasticity
	* Improved body proportions
	* Enhanced muscle definition
	* Increased self-confidence
	* More comfortable clothing options

THE BRACHIOPLASTY PROCEDURE

Dr. Bartholomew performs brachioplasty by making precise incisions on
the inside of the upper arm. The extent of the incision depends on the
amount of excess skin and fat to be removed. Liposuction techniques
may be utilized to reduce fat deposits and create a smoother contour.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Recovery from brachioplasty involves several key considerations:

 	* Initial discomfort and numbness for several days
	* Elevation of arms to minimize swelling
	* Restricted physical activities for several weeks
	* Gradual reduction of surgical marks over time

POTENTIAL RISKS AND CONSIDERATIONS

While brachioplasty is generally safe, potential risks include
anesthesia reactions, bleeding, infection, and scarring. Dr.
Bartholomew discusses these potential complications during
comprehensive pre-surgical consultations.
