Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)
Substantial weight loss, weight gain, aging, or heredity can all cause the skin of the upper arms to become inelastic and loose. A brachioplasty procedure (arm lift) is designed to correct the loose and flabby appearance of the upper arms and restore the skin’s natural elasticity. Exercise may strengthen and improve the underlying muscle tone, but it cannot address loose skin once it has lost its natural elasticity. Dr. Swail’s brachioplasty procedure reshapes and contours the upper arm where exercise and proper diet have had little to no effect. An arm lift:
- Reduces excess skin and fat
- Reshapes the upper arm to deliver smoother skin and contours
- Results in a more toned and proportionate upper arm appearance
Arm Lift Procedure
There are two common incision locations for a traditional arm lift procedure. The incision location will depend greatly on the amount of correction needed as well as Dr. Swail’s professional recommendation. The incision can be made along the inner arm, or a minimal incision can be made along armpit. Dr. Swail will choose an appropriate incision location following a full examination prior to the procedure.
Dr. Swail often uses liposuction to remove excess fat deposits to deliver optimal results.
Arm Lift Results
The results of an arm lift are almost immediately visible. Once the swelling and bruising subside after several weeks, a smooth and firm new contour is revealed. The new shapely and toned upper arm is dramatically improved in both appearance and feel.
