JUMP TO:
Brachioplasty, or arm lift surgery, shapes and lifts the upper arms. Dr.Ronan will use liposuction in combination with other surgical techniques to remove excess tissue and skin. If you are displeased with the look of your arms, please schedule a consult so that we can discuss your options to achieve a toned, sculpted upper arm.
You Have Recently Lost Weight
Weight loss for a healthier, slimmer body is an admirable achievement. However, drastic weight loss often leaves behind excess skin and tissue that cannot be tightened or toned through diet or exercise. Excess skin can detract from your weight loss results and cause discomfort. The arms are often an area that develops excess skin following weight loss, but brachioplasty will remove unnecessary tissue to enhance the overall look of your body. It is important to note that you should wait until your weight loss program is complete before scheduling surgery. If you continue to lose weight after your brachioplasty, it may affect your final results.
You Want Toned Upper Arms
Recent studies have shown that women are paying more attention to their arms. Toned, sculpted upper arms are a desirable way to show off a body that is youthful, energetic, and healthy. While regular exercise can tone the muscles of the upper arm, it cannot change the amount of skin or its laxity. Even if you have maintained a healthy weight all your life, your arms may be a “trouble spot” that have always suffered from excess laxity. Age can also affect the elasticity of the skin, causing skin that was once firm to loosen and sag.
Brachioplasty surgery can offer you the tight, toned upper arms you have always wanted so you will feel confident in short sleeves and strapless tops.
Having extra folds of skin under the arms can be extremely uncomfortable. It can also lead to inflammation and rashes in the area. This can have a negative impact on your self-esteem and affect your daily activities. Arm lift surgery can help to address these issues by restoring the tight and toned appearance of your arms.
How to Prepare for Your Arm Lift
During your consultation, Dr. Ronan will provide you with information with how to prepare for an arm lift. Dr. Ronan will conduct the necessary physical examinations and review your medical history. He will also let you know about any medications or substances that you’ll need to stop taking before the procedure as these may result in complications during the surgery and delay recovery.
Arm Lift Recovery and Results
After arm lift surgery, you’ll have bandages covering your arms and you may need to wear a compression garment to minimize swelling. Tubes may also be used for draining excess fluid and blood from the area. Some discomfort and pain is normal. Avoid raising your arms above shoulder level for at least 3 to 4 weeks after surgery. You should also avoid strenuous physical activity for at least 6 weeks following surgery.
Results from a brachioplasty can be seen immediately and are long lasting. Following a healthy diet and maintaining an active lifestyle can help ensure you continue to see the results long after your arm lift.
