At The Skinfinity, we understand that excess skin or sagging in the upper arms can affect both appearance and confidence. Brachioplasty, commonly known as an arm lift, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms, creating a smoother, firmer, and more toned appearance while enhancing overall arm contour.
Why Do Brachioplasty?
Patients seek brachioplasty for several reasons:
- To remove loose, sagging skin caused by aging, weight loss, or genetics.
- To enhance arm contour and proportion, creating a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing look.
- To improve confidence when wearing sleeveless clothing or participating in physical activities.
- To restore functional comfort, as excess skin may cause irritation or limit movement.
How Brachioplasty is Performed
The procedure is customized to the patient’s anatomy and goals:
- Consultation and Assessment — Evaluation of arm shape, skin elasticity, and fat distribution to design a personalized surgical plan.
- Anesthesia — Performed under general anesthesia to ensure comfort and safety.
- Incision and Reshaping — The surgeon makes discreet incisions along the inner or back portion of the arm. Excess skin and fat are removed, and underlying tissue is tightened.
- Closure — Incisions are carefully sutured to minimize scarring, and a compression garment is applied to support healing and reduce swelling.
- Duration — Typically lasts 2–3 hours, depending on the extent of correction required.
Advantages of Brachioplasty
- Enhanced arm shape and tone with a natural, proportionate appearance.
- Improved confidence and self-esteem in clothing choices and physical activities.
- Functional comfort by removing loose skin that may cause irritation.
- Long-lasting results when combined with healthy lifestyle habits.
- Personalized approach to suit each patient’s unique anatomy and goals.
Recovery and Aftercare
Post-surgical care is vital for optimal results:
- Wearing compression garments to reduce swelling and support tissue shaping.
- Activity restrictions for several weeks to prevent strain on healing arms.
- Follow-up visits for monitoring, suture removal, and scar management.
- Scar care and skin hydration guidance to optimize healing and appearance.
