UNDERSTANDING BRACHIOPLASTY: RESTORING ARM AESTHETICS

A brachioplasty is a surgical procedure designed to address excess
skin and improve the appearance of the upper arms. When diet and
exercise cannot resolve skin laxity, surgical intervention becomes
necessary to restore arm contours.

KEY BENEFITS OF UPPER ARM LIFT SURGERY

 	* Tightens loose skin around the upper arm
	* Removes excess skin from the upper arm
	* Potentially removes small amounts of fat using liposuction
	* Restores a more youthful, streamlined arm appearance

WHY ARM SKIN BECOMES LOOSE

Sagging upper arm skin can result from multiple factors, including
natural aging, significant weight loss, and genetic predisposition. As
skin loses elasticity, it often cannot retract to its original shape,
creating a need for surgical intervention.

SURGICAL APPROACH TO ARM CONTOURING

Dr. Barlow performs upper arm lift surgery with precision, making an
incision under the arm to minimize scar visibility. The procedure
involves removing excess skin and tightening the remaining tissue to
achieve a firm, taut appearance.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Following brachioplasty, patients can expect several days of rest.
Lifting objects and participating in strenuous exercise will be
limited for a few weeks. However, normal activities can typically be
resumed within a couple of days, with walking encouraged to support
the recovery process.

COMPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES

When necessary, liposuction may be used alongside the upper arm lift
to remove small amounts of excess fat, further enhancing the arm's
aesthetic outcome.

DETERMINING YOUR CANDIDACY

Ideal candidates for an upper arm lift are individuals with
significant skin laxity who have maintained a stable weight and are in
good overall health. A personalized consultation with Dr. Barlow can
help determine the most appropriate approach for your unique anatomy.
