BRACHIOPLASTY
Brachioplasty, commonly known as an arm lift, is a procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the arms, aiming to achieve a firmer and more contoured appearance.
WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE?
Brachioplasty is ideal for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss, often following bariatric surgery or a rigorous diet, and have excess skin and fat in the upper arms.
PROCEDURE
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes a few hours. Post-surgery, patients may experience increased sensitivity and swelling in the arms, which will gradually subside. Most patients can return to their regular routine after approximately two weeks, though intense physical activity should be avoided during this time.
RECOVERY
During the initial recovery period, which lasts about a week, patients may experience physical discomfort. Swelling will decrease over time, and stitches will fall out naturally. Patients can usually return to work after a week. It is advisable to avoid sexual activity for the first four to five weeks to prevent complications with stitches, which may delay healing.
RESULTS
Results from Brachioplasty are long-lasting, but maintaining a stable weight is important to preserve the outcomes. The delicate skin on the inside of the arm, which is removed during surgery, may loosen over time. The final results will become fully visible after approximately six months.
COST
The cost of Brachioplasty generally ranges from $8,000, but it can vary depending on individual patient needs.
