BRACHIOPLASTY (ARM LIFT) IN THE WOODLANDS, TX | SGK PLASTIC SURGERY:
SUGENE KIM, MD, FACS

UNDERSTANDING ARM LIFT (BRACHIOPLASTY) SURGERY

An arm lift, technically called a brachioplasty, is a surgical
procedure designed to remove excess fat and skin from the upper arms,
creating a firmer, more contoured arm appearance. This transformative
surgery addresses aesthetic concerns that often develop due to aging,
weight fluctuations, or genetic predisposition.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR ARM LIFT SURGERY

SGK Plastic Surgery recommends arm lift surgery for individuals
experiencing the following aesthetic concerns:

 	* Excess fat accumulation in upper arms
	* Significant skin laxity or hanging skin ("bat wings")
	* Lack of muscle definition in the arm region
	* Disproportionate upper arm appearance

SURGICAL APPROACH AND TECHNIQUE

Dr. Sugene Kim performs arm lift surgery with meticulous precision,
typically involving strategic incisions on the underside of the upper
arms. The procedure may include liposuction and skin excision to
achieve optimal contouring and aesthetic results.

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

The arm lift procedure generally involves the following steps:

 	* Comprehensive patient evaluation
	* Strategic incision placement
	* Removal of excess skin and fat
	* Tissue repositioning and tightening
	* Careful suturing to minimize scarring

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Patients can expect a recovery period of several weeks, with initial
restrictions on physical activity. Most individuals can return to work
within three to five days and resume regular exercise after
approximately four weeks, following Dr. Kim's personalized guidance.

MINI ARM LIFT CONSIDERATIONS

For patients with minimal skin excess, a mini arm lift might be
recommended. This variation involves shorter incisions, potentially
located in the armpit, providing a less invasive option for arm
contouring.

COST CONSIDERATIONS

Arm lift surgery at SGK Plastic Surgery starts at $10,000, with
pricing varying based on individual surgical requirements and
potential additional procedures like liposuction.
